About Me
Oh, Online Dating...I wish I could quit you! I've been on one service after the other, with varying rates of success. I've tried the nice-guy approach, the angry-and-disconcerted approach and the disinterested approach. At this rate, it's a shame I can't make headlines and become the first Jewish Priest and swear off women forever. The only problem is I like them too much for that to ever happen.

That being said, I consider myself to be extremely lucky in other aspects of my life. I am close with my family (it's just my mom and sister) who would do anything for me, as I would for them; I have a strong support system of friends; and despite what you may have read about my job description, my job is pretty stable, at the moment. I write for a popular weekly publication that I will share with you on one condition: you choose to contact me. Don't worry, though. I will not criticize your grammar.

My sister met her husband off of a dating service that I will keep anonymous, and she's the one who got me hooked on the world of online dating...not that there's anything wrong with it, but I wish my luck wouldn't suck as much as it does. But my sister has never steered me wrong in the past, and I have a feeling her winning streak will continue. Patience is not one of my best virtues when it comes to this stuff...I want immediate gratification. But I am one who is not opposed to change, so I'd be willing to work on that with the right woman.

I am an avid Seinfeld fan and can identify every episode within five minutes. I can also quote any episode on any given day, so if you're game for a friendly competition, bring it on! I believe that life is way too short to sweat the small stuff 24/7, and people need to allow for a little bit of levity, be in crass or corny. That being said, my sense of humor tends toward the raunchy side, once I become comfortable with you. I'm shy at first, though, but once you get to know me, you'll be saying to yourself, "That's one of the best choices I've ever made in my life," even if we're only meant to be friends. God knows I have been relegated to the friend zone many, many times, and if I had $1000 for every woman who has said, "I could never date you, because you're one of my closest FRIENDS," I'd never have to work again! I'd be bored, but I'd be wealthy.

I love trying anything at least once, especially food. So all of you sushi lovers out there might want to drop me a line. I have been told by friends and family that I'm pretty open-minded and have a knack for seeing both sides of an issue before jumping to erroneous conclusions. They have also said I'm a good listener, and on occasion, have asked me for advice that they sometimes followed.

I'm not loud, obnoxious or boring, so you needn't worry about me embarrassing you in public. In fact, I hate being the center of attention. I'm just as content to stay in the background and watch everyone else...which is a reason why I'm sick of the bar scene. It has never worked for me 1) because I don't believe in getting fall-down drunk to have a good time; and 2) I was once told to keep my eyes to myself after just glancing at a woman. If that's not enough to turn someone off to that scene, I don't know what is.

To make this very long section short, I'm a nice, low-maintenance and NORMAL guy who's had an unbelievably bad run of luck with the dating scene. I'm not looking for marriage and a baby carriage right now; I would like to re-enter the relationship scene after my 10-year dry spell. Yes, I will admit that it has been 10 years since I've had a girlfriend.

One more thing I should point out is that I don't drive yet. Now, I am hoping you can get past that and won't let that minor fact prevent you from getting to know someone you might actually like. If it does, then what can I say? It's your loss.

I am just a lovelorn writer who eventually wants to find his happy ending. If you think you have potential, take a chance and drop me a line!

Who I'm looking for
So many questions...so little space in which to answer them. Forgive me for being lazy and not writing in complete sentences, but I figure it's the best way to get my point across. So, without further adieu, here's my checklist: 1) she must have a sense of humor and be willing to tolerate some toilet humor every now and then. I can't be with a non-laugher; 2) she should be somewhat easy on the eyes. I'm not going to lie, here. I know I'm not GQ-worthy, but looks do factor into the equation. 3) It would be nice if you were petite, had long hair and a nice figure, were sane (meaning you're not on a million mood stabilizers), were kind and wouldn't think twice about coming to the aide of either family members or friends 4), didn't mind that I don't make a lot of money and still rent a room at home 5), didn't smack your lips or roll your eyes every time I toss out a Seinfeld reference...because how could anyone not like the Sein? 6), weren't obsessed with being Kosher and attending synagogue every week. Twice a year is enough for me, thanks 6), weren't ashamed to admit you like being a couch potato every once in a while 7), didn't use phrases like "social butterfly" to describe yourself, because that drudges up unpleasant memories for me 8), weren't obsessed with karaoke 9), weren't totally into theatrics 10), weren't in a hurry to rush into a relationship. Wait until we go out and then decide; don't throw out the soulmate b.s. beforehand, because all that'll do is send my red flags skyrocketing 11), didn't have a phony personality or a flaky one. What do I mean by this? Here's an example: do not give me false hopes of the possibility of a relationship with talk of how we should go out more than once or hot listing my profile and then take it back. That hurts more than you'd know 12), someone who doesn't speak often or joke about being a JAP because, let's face it: if you talk about it too much, then you probably are one; and 13) You are not, under any circumstances, into Goth or any kind of body piercings on strange places that should not have them. This is an instant turn-off.

In a nutshell, I'd like to meet a woman who embodies all of the qualities I'd consider that would make her a perfect 10 in my eyes: good looks, a killer sense of humor, a dry wit, a minimalistic approach to life and empathy towards the human and animal sects of the population. Oh, and you must at least pretend to like cats, because I own one. I don't think that's too much to ask; but then again, every time I say that, I get screwed royalty. So let's just settle on nice-looking, kind and normal for now. This question is a work in progress.
