Stafford's Local Dating Service

Well let's see my name is Nik. I am a manager at a bar and I work once in a while as a bartender to a family friend's wedding venue. I am from Belleville, Illinois which is right across the river from St. Louis, Missouri. I am a huge STL fan. Cardinals, Blues, Rams are my home teams. I also love the UNC Tar Heels when it comes to NCAA basketball. Notre Dame for college football, sports are something I do love. I also like to think of myself as a movie buff, I will pretty much watch any movie whether its good or bad. Only the good ones I will buy and watch over and over again.

Thanks for viewing my profile. I joined this site over 4 years ago after I took some of the personality tests for fun, but I hardly ever logged on. Don't mind the user name it's something I came up with when I was about 14 and I've used as a handle for just about everything. If you don't think it's funny fine, but if you don't get it then sound it out.

I'm living in Houston and attending law school. I should be graduating May of 2011. When I have free time I'm spending it online on other social networking websites, playing video games, watching television, and if I have enough time I'm going out with friends or staying at home watching a good movie.

Iâ??m a news junkie. My TV is usually on CNN. Iâ??ll only switch it to Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, PBS, history/discovery channel. I donâ??t like watching movies on cable. I hate being interrupted by commercials and theyâ??re usually shitty movies anyway. I enjoy all types of quality movies, or self aware bad movies. All types of music, my favorite bands include Muse, Incubus, Toadies, NIN, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, T.I., Radiohead, Silversun Pickups, Chopin, Mana, Juanez, and White Stripes and currently I have MIA in my car CD player.

Iâ??m not athletic, but I go running every now and then. Sometimes I get invited to play soccer. I suck but hey at least I try to do something active. I love watching it on TV though, and going to a Dynamo games is sooo fun.
Please keep in mind I'm mostly on here to kill time, browse random profiles and chat with people. I love to meet new people and would love to go out for coffee to just talk about ideas. So if you're willing to hang out with a complete stranger let me know, we might have some similar interests.

I am somewhat new to Houston and looking for a girl to spend time with. I am single and enjoy it but still do get lonely. I don't know many people here but the ones I do live too far away. I am looking for a casual or serious relationship, it depends on how things go.

iam are important. So are other people, especially if they are in trouble. i have a tender heart, but i know how to establish and keep personal boundaries. im are empathetic and compassionate, but i also believe that it's best if people solve their own problems and learn to take care of themselves, if they are able.

im are deeply moved by the needs of others, but i know that if you don't take good care of yourself, you'll wind up being of no use to anyone. So yours is a thoughtful compassion. i strive to be fair and sensible, taking care of others while also taking care of yourself.

When someone really is in trouble, i like to collaborate with them toward a solution; they do their part, i do yours. i consider carefully, and respond in a sensible way; they do their part, and together you move through the difficulty.

Hello everyone, I'm Logan. I have been told that I am quite the random person. Random in that I typically get that look when I go off tangent on a conversation. For instance, did you know that March 14th is PI day (get it yet?). But I think that is a good thing, like the conversation accompanying cheesy films in Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Beyond that, I'm your run of the mill nerdy type of guy. Yes that means that I sometimes descend into the oddities of why the phaser banks of some mindless scifi show are inferior to the blasters of another but it also means that I am interested in knowing about things in general. Plus, I can generally fix almost any tech problem.

How long has it been since someone touched part of you other than your body?

I am a fun-loving girl, just scraping by in the world and trying to have a good time doing it. I attempt to see the positive in everything and everyone, though most times it is rather difficult. I hate assholes and will not respond to comments like "send nudes" or "wanna fuck?", so if that is what you are after, move on. I also hate stupid people. Seriously, if you are illiterate or just generally ignorant by choice, leave me alone. I do, however, like conversation. So if you are willing to spend some time actually getting to know me, we could see where things went from there.

PS - If you feel the need to preface a message with "I am not just looking for sex", you automatically look suspect. Just to warn you. Also, do not use text speak, or whatever it is called, to speak to me. Please stop bastardizing the English language. We have already ruined it beyond repair without help from the word 'crunk'.

I am the one who:
â?¢ wears sandals in thirty-degree weather.
â?¢ drinks seventeen cups of tea a day.
â?¢ spends five hours in bargain book stores.
â?¢ talks during movies.
â?¢ naps twice a day.
â?¢ cannot relinquish control of the radio.
â?¢ breaks all the electronics.
â?¢ cries over books.
â?¢ randomly goes star-gazing.
â?¢ buys over-stuffed floor pillows.
â?¢ dog-ears all the pages and ruins the spines.
â?¢ sporadically rearranges the furniture.
â?¢ you should never ask to cook.
â?¢ would rather stay at home and watch a movie than go to a theater.
â?¢ sings along...badly.
â?¢ will self-destruct before admitting defeat.

Still interested?

I'm looking for friends with possible romantic potential. I'm a quiet intellectual at heart. Good conversation, debate, and open minded opinions are things I enjoy. I'm a bit shy, and very imaginative. I love reading or watching fantasy, mystery/horror, and sci-fi. I like to watch escapist shows like Heroes and The Amazing Race on TV. I like going out to a baseball game, play, or even listening to talent hit the open mike. I am very honest, considerate, sarcastic, and I'm comfortable with those same traits in my friends. I tend to start out pretty quiet and open up as I get to know people. I'm a kid and playful at heart, but am adult enough to be looking for a relationship with responsibility and commitment if things work out. I try to judge people by the content of their character so looks aren't the most important thing for me. I want someone to share the joys of life with and have fun.

College boy from UT that is hoping to get away from Texas eventually and find somewhere that isn't so hot.

So I've noticed people visiting but no messages from anyone. Hopefully filling this box out will change that. Those three adjectives pretty much give you the jist about me. I don't really go out all that often I prefer to stay in, but I'm not socially retarded ;. I say funny sarcastic things all the time... When it comes to humor I'll say a lot of things, but honesty is a big deal with me. I like knowing that I can believe whatever a person is saying without having to go through all the what-ifs. I stay true to my word 100% of the time and prefer someone who does too. I know how to keep things going so just message me if you're interested. IDC if you're far away we can just chat online or whatever since I'm online a lot.

Single father of 2 kids. (They live with me) Having trouble finding the time to meet new people the traditional way. I was told this was a pretty good way to meet people, so I am trying it out. Grew up in a small town west of Houston. The kids and I live near Sugar Land. I have a good job that I enjoy. But between it and the kids I have not had the time to go out and enjoy adult conversation and activities. I am hoping this will be beneficial.

I like the simple things in life â?? coffee, the ocean, weekend road trips. Looking to find someone to hang out with and find new and exciting things to do. Currently work takes most of my free time, but luckily it's pretty fun. Thanks to this my hobbies have been pretty limited as of late but I love to get out and try new things. Still, there's a lot to be said for a simple dinner and trip to the local multiplex, or a night at home with pizza and video games. While I have goals and ambitions, life isnâ??t something I take too seriously. We only get one chance so we might as well enjoy it. I'm very laid back and take life as it comes.

Iâ??m looking for a girl thatâ??s honest, fun, goofy, nerdy, and open-minded. Also 'quirky' is good.

I love being around people even if were just sitting around the house
or going out to eat.I like to travel and become enlightened on other peoples cultural backgrounds.

Hello Everyone. I am a very goal-oriented individual. I am looking for someone that wants to actually get to know me as well as go on a date with me. Someone that likes going out and doing outdoor activities, but also has a reserved side where they enjoy staying in and watching a good movie or just hanging out.

From My Facebook Profile: I am ... an amazing person whoe's personality reaches every corner of the spectrum. I am an awesome writer and a terrible speller. I've got the worst stage-fright you have ever seen, but do running front-flips off of waterfalls. I'm a pyro and love it. I love my friends and my animals. I live in my own little world where everybody loves and gets along with everybody because fighting is POINTLESS and so is WAR. Yes, yes I was born in the wrong era: I am a flower-child. I am brutally honest but hate conflict. It takes virtually nothing to make me cry. I say things to be factual, and never MEAN to be offensive. I'm a scientific person but believe in the supernatural. If I like you enough, I'll adopt you. I'm attracted to shiny objects, and yes, I am easily amused. Finaly: I live to bring others hapiness.

Down to eath guy with old school qualities, just trying to find the right girl to complete my life. That being said I am not just going to jump in to a relationship just because. I think it is important to get to know the person you will be with, so I definitely am cool with friends first.
FYI...you may find me irresistable, LOL

im new to texas came from florida previously at new york currently a student and looking to meet new people.

OK, I am 6'0, 190 pounds. Went to college in San Marcos, but didn't finish it. I am an electrician now, which I really quite enjoy. The physical work also helps keep me in shape. Its a funny story of how I lost 25 pounds my first month in the trade.
So, I am getting to the point in my life where I wonder if I haven't missed something very important, like starting my family already. I just moved back to Houston, from Austin due to business failure. I am looking for a serious relationship, and I am not going to settle for something which isn't everything I am looking for.
I enjoy the outdoors, movies, coffee, and just hanging out. typically I spend more time working/playing than watching tv or anything like that. I also like to experiment with cooking, my secret is to wait until I am REALLY hungry and then whatever I make tastes great! Also, have cat and dogs, love animals.

I am a musician pursuing his dreams. I can't imagine myself doing anything else and enjoying it. I am also a space alien.

Well about myself, I have just done this new life changing event for the new year. So far it is going better than I thought some people don't agree, but I guess when you leave silly stuff behind those that thrive on that will not. I really just like having fun and making the best of every moment. Now im at the point to where i can say what i want and go for it without hesitation.

Who's really available out there - I've just woke up from being married...21 years. Gonna find you if you are kind, funny, sincere and financially secure. Hope you like to work out, garden,watch movies, are you creative? Don't have to be creative. That's my job. I love a sense of humor, out going and lighthearted guys. Not looking for anybody to take care of me. I'm well done in that area. not looking for anybody w/ small kids that I would have to raise. I have 3 beautiful girls, 18 and twin 26 stepdaughters. Good kids. Read more below....

Hi! I'm a recent college graduate currently wading the waters in the real world. It's been a blast so far (for the most part) and I do have great diary entries as proof. I'm fairly quiet and lean to the far laid back side but I have a weird habit of striking up conversation with complete strangers. It does give some hope in the human race, just a bit.

I'm the youngest (and only girl) in my family so I love to give hugs. The last great hug I got was from my friend's golden retriever. Animals also fill me with glee, as I try to figure out what might happen next in my life, I do spend time volunteering at local animal shelters and I am considering even studying to be a Veterinarian.

**Update: Living in Houston now and missing ATX sorely :(

I'll update this later with something that isn't hot garbage, but for now...
Not much to say. look up Intp

I am a very motivated, ambitious person who likes to get things done. I enjoy being outside at the park, bike riding, hiking, camping, you name it, I don't like to stay inside to much unless the weather is bad. I go to the gym several days a week and also take an MMA class. I am very laid back and down to earth type of guy. I am also very much into cars, I read car magazines all the time and know quite a bit about them ever since I was 16. My friends and like my family I would do anything for them, and if you are my friend then we are friends for life, I like to think I am very loyal that way.

I am single, no kids, and living life to the fullest! I work hard and play harder!! I'm easy going and do my best to stay out
of trouble and treat people the way I want to be treated!! With respect, loyaty and always with my all!! One thing I hold true is you must love yourself first before you know how to truly love someone else unconditionally!!

I am a 27 year old female, about 5'2 165 with brown eyes and hair. I graduated from U of H in December of 2005 with a B.S. in Biology and I will further my career by attending medical school in the near future, and as of right now, I am undecided as of which specialty I will choose. I have been single for some time now. Sometimes I like it, other times I hate it. It's nice having my space when I want it but there are times when I miss having someone to hang out with or even cuddle up with, especially on those cold nights. For now I think I am just looking for friends, someone that I can call up when I am bored and want to go and hang out, whether its to the movies or a road trip. If it progresses to something more, that's great, if it doesn't, I am fine with that as well. I am not going to put my entire life story on here, so if there is anything else that ponders your mind about me, just ask.

I am a quiet guy, but I say what needs to be said. Once I open up I can be very playful and perhaps more easy going than I already am. Although Im laid back, I know when to get serious. I pride myself on my honesty. I have a disorder called satyriasis. I am a philosopher and a fighter. I like to think I have a good grasp of humor, although SOME people don't think so.. I enjoy the simple things in life. I like being active and being outdoors; especially near water. I have my flaws, but does that mean I don't deserve a chance?

These kinds of questions are always awkward, but I guess I'll give it a lame shot. I love university and living at home. I love my friends, and I love picking on them even more. If I pick on you, then you know I love you a lot. I love dogs, and I really want one. I like to randomly drive around late at night, and I like it even more if someone is with me.

I am a very {youthful}, {energetic} and {{sensual woman.}} I am told I am attractive. Unfortunately, I haven't met that special man to share my quality time with.

I love to {{dance}} and absolutely love to stroll around scenic parks and beaches. I really enjoy quiet romantic restaurants. I also enjoy hiking, swimming, aqua aerobics, yoga, pilates and some tai-chi. Love getting into my {{hot spa}}, with friends and family.

Enjoy gardening. I have many flowering plants surrounding my pool area. hibiscus, azaleas, petunias, and a peach tree.

For 19 years I was employed with a local oil company. I was laid off and have started my own wonderful home Business.

what 2 say about me...... my name is nick, im 24 and i`m from houston tx.. im more in 2 bar's and live bands. far as music.... i love all kinds.... but i really love the 80`s and old skool hip hop also. i love horse back ridding, camping, watching movies and just staying home with that someone. im really out going and bunt... if i think it, i speak it.. lol but i think before i speak... if u`ll like 2 more i hope that u ask.
so with that being said... i hope 2 hear from u...

I'm a guy who is taking the time out to enjoy what the world has to offer. I'm looking for a friend who will stand by me in a way the other one wouldn't. I'm a little silly, because I've decided to enjoy the rest of this life, and would love to share it with someone who can appreciate a little levity.

I'm also an agnostic liberal who feels that we all deserve happiness regardless of what theologians and fanatics believe. I'm 420 friendly and love to people watch.
I'm pursuing a degree in Management.

I'm a girl who likes to make people laugh and try my best to make sure everyone around me feels special. I like to have fun and relax with friends. I love having philosophical conversations about the grand nothing. I'm true artist at heart and love to make things beautiful.

22 yr old male, Full-time law school student, I enjoy running daily, watching football or any other sport. I like to ride mountain bikes, swim, go to the beach, play soccer, football, basketball, surf, ride long boards, go camping, relax, I love hot weather. I am a middle child. I love to play soccer. I live alone in my own home in Southwest Houston. Wait I lied (I don't live alone) I have a dog (boxer) who lives with me, her name is Carolina.

I have lived in Houston for 18 months.

Not much to say about myself. I'm just your typical nice guy. Other than that, you gotta talk to me to get to really know me.

Hi! I haven't written an essay yet because I joined OkCupid very recently. This space is where I'll express myself soon though. If you'd like to know more about me, please send me a message. This is the default essay OkCupid fills in for new users who haven't written about themselves yet.

I live in southwest Houston and will fill this in later.

Anybody who knows me will tell you that I am VERY funny! I love comedy! My first date would be a night at the movies, or maybe a nice dinner, and then a little bit of sex. I am very laid back, nice, but know when to stand my ground. If you wanna know more, hit me up.

L A I D B A C K. Take it Sloow and easy.
Non Smoker. Let's get together and see where it goes
I like to care for others just like I enjoy being cared for. Kindness, compassion, honesty and a feeling of warmth cannot be substituted. I am grateful for my metabolism!! I can eat as much of whatever I like without worrying about weight gain!!

I love to dance. Try new things. Go walking with my dog in the park.

I like to think of myself as practical but more often than not find myself day dreaming.

I think that it is important to do what you want to in life and not what other people consider common sense. However I also think that one should never feel the need to follow the crowd and buy into consumerism. Not everything in life should be taken so seriously, including one's self.

In my free time I like to read and write, mostly reading. I also find joy in being able to make other people around me happy, whether it is by making them laugh or giving them quiet company.

Not only do i not know what to say here it pains me to imagine myself contemplating it. Does this point to an ego issue, lack of faith in internet networking, fear of vulnerability..?? Iâ??m unsure. What I know is that i could use someone around that i care about deeply. Someone to think of when I doubt the reason behind all the non-sense i take on everyday. Not to say that my life is overly difficult or unfair but i certainly could have chosen a more simple route.

Iâ??m a big picture guy! That is for sure. Also Iâ??m a risk taker and i can prove it. Sadly, my current most probable future is pretty worthless without someone to share in it and care for.

..Or maybe i just say whatever it takes to get laid. :)

Starting over! Just divorced after long seperation. not having much luck in the relationship dept. Not much into the club scene, and thought I would try these internet dating sites that I have been hearing about. I have a lot of love to give that special someone, but finding that special person seems to be the problem. I am a very caring and passionate person and would love to find someone to spend my life with.

My perception of my positive personality traits are:

*Loving
*Fun most of the time
*Well above average in terms of wittiness
*Outdoorsy
*A good listener
*I intentionally don't repeat things
*Mostly patient
*Business-minded
*Not very jealous but a mostly calm protector
*I am sometimes mis-understood but I always mean well
*I think before I speak
*I am an encourager
*Overly Generous
*Honest
*not hilarious but funny
*my behavior could be seen as donkeyish at times (notice I list this as a positive)
*Open-minded
*Sometimes silly
*I have more energy than most.
*Confident but not conceited or egotistical
*Creative

I thought hard to include all of my known negative traits:

* Pride has directed my decisions during some situations in my life
* I sometimes procrastinate
* My intelligence is quirky, in that I don't care about putting across an intelligent persona
* I don't care what strangers think of me, so I can be embarrassing to others (this can be controlled)
* I have been known to take financial risks

I need to fill this out. I promise I will, soon. B. B. B. B. B. B

To keep the adjectives rolling in triplets: drug-induced, sensitive, bear-twink.. lovable, ornary, racist.. sweet, irascible, complainer.. musical, cock-ring owning, homebody..

Yes, you should totally ask me what "bear-twink" means.

I'd love to answer the questions below, but prefer you to ask.

I like Piano, Reading, a game of chess, people watching, good conversation, a bike ride, eating tres leches, listening, traveling

I'm in love with the outdoors, the world we live in and information! I'm a trivia buff and ALWAYS am researching SOMETHING for the sheer enjoyment of it. I adore photography, analyzing photographs of human form and emotion is something I can spend hours doing. This is likely based on the fact that I myself look HORRIBLE in ALL photographs, or at least think so myself. I may message you solely based on a particular photo you have, I doesn't mean I like you or have anything in common with you, just that I appreciate the artistic vibe from the photograph I'm referencing (I do this a lot it seems, sorry to all of you confused people).

i enjoy meeting people from all walks of life, everyone brings a certain something to ,my life.
Life is a journey and every soul is a fragrance that lingers in my experience
I seek to share the gifts of my life with a partner who seeks to do the same
true love is a partnership that enhances the quality of each others life and together uplifts the life of everyone we come in contact with
