Reality Bites.

"Is it enough for you to have a man like me, or are you unrealistic with what you really need to have a happy and healthy life?"

[yallanyc]

Riker's calling...

"Would you be receptive to the idea of writing to my cousin by snail mail to get to know a young man who could make you the perfect husband?. Just write to him and from his letters you would have a sense of the caliber of man you are dealing with. Unfortunately, he made a bad decision and is presently incarcerated."

[yallanyc]

No shoes, no service.

"I just wanted to tell you that after seeing your profile I would walk barefooted across nails and snow, pulling a semi truck without tires all the way across town just for the chance to look into your amazing eyes. Whats your name?"

[yallanyc]

"Hi sassy..sassafras?? I like the High Line...but it would be more fun to shoot pool..."

How much for that maid service?

"I'm a trillionaire. I have more money than i can spend in any 24 hour cycle, taking the most expensive items possible on the planet, and allowing the seconds to pass to allow for each transaction to occur.

If this is the case what do i want? I want someone who can come up to me with a business plan of living and add value to my life. I want someone who will bring me children, and develop them islamically, and who will tend to my needs in the frail years of my life. I want someone who can say, i can save you time by helping you. I want someone who is cost effective. Anyone out there who is Slim, Curvy body type?"

[yallanyc]

Just haven't met you yet

"You are too lovely for words so easily capturing hearts thru sweet laughter and deeds."

He likes me for my mind.

Granny's Got Game

"Salaam. I got your profile from my grandmother.  She told me to email you and find out if we shared similar outlooks."
