A profile that gives me just a wee bit of hope

I’m sorry for going on this long stretch of whiny crybaby wailing over my online dating experiences recently, but I’m planning to get back on the road next month (either Tennessee or anywhere but here), so I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. Too bad I have so little drama in…
