Go on a date!
Hi Pepperjackie,
You sound, on the surface, like a powerhouse of ambition and control. I suppose the latter sounds almost negative, but I don't mean it to be value-laden like that. Rather, you lay your cards out 1, 2, 3, 4. It's quite upfront; certain, I suppose to ward off the bikini gawkers eyeballing your tummy.
While I am certainly someone with an artistic edge, financially secure, modern, and forward-thinking, etc., I'd be hard put to say I'd go out on a date with anyone whose preconditions are marriage and children. Honestly, it sounds very cart before the horse to me, making dating a sort of promisorry note to be cashed in at such-and-such date. Doubtless, though, as you do stand out as quite beautiful and certainly well-educated, many a would-be husbands will seek to run their fingers through your lock of bleached hair, which is testimony, I suppose, to your streak, as it were, of iconoclasm and overall lime-lighting incandescent self.
Should you choose to write back to me, we may after a few volleys, swap phone numbers--but not on the first serve. Oh, by the way, as you mention in your profile often turns out not to be case, my pictures are all up to date; I am fit, lean, toned, and look like them.
If I do not hear back from you, I'd go a little more softly. . . with your beauty and brains, a woman like you deserves more than a banker who's just going to reciprocate with financial security (now?) and marital hardball.
