Hastings's Local Dating Service

I am a single mom of a beautifuly crazy 7 year old, between her and work i keep very busy. I just moved here from south dakota and dont know many people here. Even though im only 26 i am ready to find someone that will be around for awhile, my daughter is my world so if you dont like kids don't waste my time. I am very funny (or i think i am anyways) and have a great time when i get out, but most of my time is with my daughter. I do love to hunt, fish, camp and go out when i can, if i sound anything that you might like dont hesitate to hit me up on here or on yahoo messenger at collegegirl801

I'm 5'5, 20 years old (unlike my stats say...I'm actually 20, not 21.) with brown hair and blue eyes. I'm single. I live in a house with five other roommates (2 other girls and 3 guys down in the basement.) It can get pretty crazy in the house sometimes. I love animals, and I have a dog named Murphy, and two cats named Pudge and Tony.

I love to travel. I have a goal to visit all of the "Lower 48" states before I turn 30, and as of right now, I've visited 16. I would also love to visit foreign countries. By the time I die, I hope to have seen most of the world. :) I love learning about new cultures and such.

I must admit, that I'm a mix between geek, girl-next-door and tomboy. I grew up on a farm. I have a weird sense of humor sometimes, and I try to lighten the mood during unhappy situations by making jokes.

Did I mention that I love football, baseball and hockey, too?

work hard and play harder....i am very communicative and tell ya straight up to the point no sugar coating anything....life is way to short to waste my time on those into games...

Oh, I suppose... How could one possibly find the words, all of which are inconceivable and inaccurate from sentient to sentient, to convey any truth in personality or likeness without suffering the effects of generalities or projected and selfish ego?
I am the same as everyone. (This is obviously a very relative and elusive statement)
I would love to get to know you from a worldly and human standpoint. Anyways, with that out of the way, maybe I'll try to uh...try.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I like to sport different personalities. Finding my real mood can be just a tad bit tedious to the common outsider.

I think a lot about serious things, but don't take things very seriously.
I party hard, but in a chilled-out way.
I like to teach people things, but only because I hope people are equally giving me lessons about myself.
I like relaxed time, but love adventures.
I hold doors.
I tease people a lot.
I am a "Yes" person.
I'm humble, but also confident.
But now for the boring stuff...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I absolutely love fitness, reading, and intelligent conversation. I enjoy philosophy and self-awareness. I am a fan of prose-style writing, and if you give me the right inspiration, I will probably produce some type of monologue or poetry for you.

I enjoy partying and social excursions just as much as meaningful privacy.

Though I'm very open-minded, I also have very acute opinions. I love existence in general, and love contemplating it, as well as life. I am definitely a dreamer.

I'm a nice guy. I like to have fun. I like watching football.

Well here goes the hard part. Not much talking about myself. I have kids and still have 2 at home but in high school Both r in foot all so i go to all the games on friday nites. I love the outdoors summertime of course but dont totally dislike winter either. I cook a lot and bake everything from scratch. i go camping,fishing, love to travel, see new things and places, and by the I love sex that has to be a must if you want to date me. I dont want to be the one whos stats it all the time either. And having sex in new places is an ultimate high.

Along with being content with my life, I'm independent and self-sufficient. I'm not here to find someone to "complete" me, although that does sound nice. I could live life single but you'll probably agree it isn't as rewarding. The idea of long term seems appealing, but I put "dating" as my choice because you cannot decide long term before actually dating. That would be putting the cart before the horse, so to speak.

Being an observer, I learn from listening. I like to socialize with mature groups of people and have a few laughs. I'm sort of an oddball in that I'm perfectly fine with joking dirty and yet I have a set of morals I like to keep. I'm all about having a clear conscious and never holding a grudge. I keep my nose clean, with only 1 speeding ticket on my record, which was about 15 years ago. Now that doesn't mean I never have sped since then.. ;)

I enjoy working out on my home gym. Casual bodybuilding is one of my hobbies. I do it because it feels good and it's great for my health. I do not carry the typical jock mindset that goes with the stereotype, I lean on the introvert side. I don't expect my significant other to be as fit, but I do expect them to support me. That doesn't mean I want my partner to be a XXL size, I've tried that and it doesn't work for me, as the attraction isn't there for me. During the warmer months, I like to be outside doing activities with family and friends. Winter usually means I'm trying my best to stay indoors, probably on my home gym, visiting friends/family or killing time on the computer. Activities I could imagine doing with my partner would be stuff like raquetball, hiking, biking or just taking time relaxing on the couch. I don't envision sitting around for too often, I can do that plenty on my own, and its boooring!

Financially, I'm debt and stress-free. Not cheap but careful. Being responsible has enabled me to focus in other areas in my life, such as health, travel and eventually higher education. Regardless of my situation, I place more value on the nonmaterial things, such as family, well-being and being loved. I'm also blessed with the smarts and confidence to survive hardships with my head held up high (with the help of my faith). I hope to find such a person that would join me in the search for the new and the fresh! No one's perfect, but I know I'm a good catch and you should think you are, too. A healthy self-image is very attractive to me.

You should know that I'm seeking a fresh start. I've been single for a long time and would like to start back to basics with a woman who has a schedule that can accomodate a relationship that involves going out and doing things regularly and/or staying in. I also value my time alone as it nice to have a breather once in awhile. I'd prefer having no kids to start with so that we may focus on building a relationship.

Overall, I'm one of those that gets along with just about everyone. Sure, I have my own opinions, but I'm open minded and I respect other people's beliefs. I'm peaceful, happy and I like to please. It'd be nice to find someone I could get to know, flaws and all, and see if we could go places. I find a lot of women are fearful of being hurt again, which makes them skittish on the internet dating scene, which is understandable. We cannot find love worth fighting for if we do not stick our necks out and deal with that risk. I may be introvert but I hide it well. I have the guts to keep the communication real instead of avoiding it just because its awkward. I really wish more people would grow a pair and do the same.

I'm just a down to earth guy who likes to have fun and do fun things. I enjoy throwing darts and hanging out with friends.

I like Hunting, Fishing, Camping, and playin in the mud. I think that they want a little more then I am willing to put up here.

My roommates recommended this- I don't know if it was for them or me. Just looking to have some fun

Hi! I love tocrochet, watch movies. I also enjoy dancing fishing playing pool garage sales traveling watching dirt track racing window shoppingat antiques swimming going for walksespecially on the beach watching thunderstorms people watching holding hands and cuddling going to amusement and animal parks playing the slots machines and bingowith only money that I can afford to loose flying riding horseseven though I'm not very good at it. I'm a glass is always half full type of woman. Always try to see things from the other person's point of view and think positive about every thing until it is proven differently to me and it takes a lot to change my mind. I like all kinds of critters.

Hi my name is Sarah, I am from Grand Island, Nebraska. I have lived here my whole life. I am 20 years old. I am a sophomore at Doane College in Crete, Nebraska. I know that I want to major in art (but I am still unsure of what area of art i want to with my major) but I am unsure of what I would like to minor in.

hey everybody. i am alex. i am a small town nebraska girl that is just looking for some ladies. i am very athletic, i like music and cars, i enjoy acting, drawing, painting, being outside, relaxing, cuddleing (spelling isn't a strong point) and i like to have a good time. but, my good time is usually different from others. i do not drink, smoke, or do drugs so if that is your idea of a good time, i won't be having the same kind of fun as you. i think smoking and drugs are disgusting. and drinking isn't something that i can't wait until i am 21 for. and even then, i don't anticipate being a heavyweight. i have been through a lot in life and i just want to have fun now. i don't want to be stressed or be in a dramatic relationship. i am easy to get a long with and i am pretty easy going. but i do have a horrible temper. it has improved in recent years, but it's still not cool. but, i would never ever hit a girl; unless we are legit fighting (boxing, mma, something of the like) the only people i will ever hit are guys. i have hit a girl before. but that was in elementary when fighting was my answer to everything. but if a bitch hits me - someone that needs an ass whooping- then i hit a bitch back. but i think i would resort to just restrainging a girl if she hit me. i really don't want to hit her back. what can i say - i am a scrapper. but a lover for the ladies. : ) i have a dominant personality but i would do anything for a girl. i am usually pretty whipped in a relationship. : ) i am a wonderful girlfriend and i am looking for someone who can appreciate that and treat me decent back because i have had some bad luck with relationships. and i am growing up and i want to find love. and about the only other thing that you need to know about me is that i will alwayz be me. no matter who i am around, no matter what. being myself is important to me. i will alwayz let you know whats on my mind and i don't bite my tongue even though sometimes i really should. whatever you get from or out of me, know that it's real and it's who i am. at my worst and at my best, i will alwayz be me. alwayz.
alex, alwayz.

C&p'd from my ever evolving generic profile I post everywhere since these stupid "self-summary" boxes never tell anyone about anything and are just filled with tired cliches, so, uh, here are some tired cliches...

I'm easily amused, apparently. Kind of goofy. I'm pretty laid back and not really aggressive, mostly passive but I can be passionate and intense. I have a spine and intelligence but I donâ??t take myself too seriously, so I can be a little off the wall at times. Iâ??m not a clown and I donâ??t have a fake wacky personality. Yet, I really can be over the top at times. Iâ??m a pisces, a contradiction, its just my nature.

Not that I seriously mean that as a valid excuse for anything by any stretch of the imagination... or do I?

Iâ??m bright, optimistic, happy, idealistic yet realistic, cynical, sarcastic with a slightly skewed view of the world. Iâ??m about 70/30 on the positive side. If there are two things Iâ??m not too fond of in other people its either them being overly cheery or negative. I can deal with cheery people, they arenâ??t too bad but the negativity just drains me being around it, so Iâ??d prefer not to be around it.

Though I'll totally hang out with you on a couch and be bitter and snarky. My definition of what counts as negativity might be more abstract, as negativity, to me, can come in the form of, say, self-centeredness or... I can't really explain it. All I know is that I don't want to hang around people where theres this all consuming weight of annoyance pushing down on me due to that persons repulsive personality. I could totally name people as examples but then you'd A) have to know those people or B) might be those people, so I'll just leave it at: abstractly negative personalities; I don't need em.

But thats just me. What else is me?

Sometimes I have tourette syndrome, in the form of singing and random noises, since I can't stand the silence... mainly because there's no silence, since I can have long involved conversations in my head that are sometimes scary. Sometimes, when I'm drunk, I'll speak in klingon, regardless of the fact that I've never watched Star Trek (okay it was just that once). Sometimes I contradict myself or maybe it just seems like I sometimes contradict myself because everything is taken on a case by case basis and nothing is black and white. Sometimes I'm redundant, sometimes I make random (possibly obscure) pop-culture references just for the sake of doing it. Sometimes I'm neurotic as fuck, sometimes I swear too fucking much but everything is sometimes because I'm never always doing anything, I'm multi-dimensional, if you wheel.

i'm 20 years old and going threw a divorce.. he only married me because i got prego and when i had a miscarriage he divoced me so ya but i'm not going to let that bring me down i want to move on and start over i love camping mudding quads and cuddling i like guys around my age 24 is my limit.

I like to socialize. It's very important to me to hang out with friends. Sometimes I am a homebody. I like to watch all types of movies. I like old black and white ones, but am not really into the horror. I do like thrillers! I listen to all kinds of music, especially country oldies! Not really into rap.
My kids are the most important things in my life. My work keeps me from seeing them often, so they are with their dad a lot.

I am 20 years old and have a one year old daughter. I have had a long relationship before but it ended when I found out she was cheating on me. I am looking for somebody who wont cheat on me.

My names Phoebe, im a fun, sweet, loyal person, and im a hopeless romantic and a dreamer. I love to write poetry and stories, its how i express my emotions. I like to hang with friends and my family, sometimes go out play pool, go dancing, and i like goin to concerts once in awhile, im a simple girl and cares for everyone in my life. I have been hurt before but im now puttin all that behind me and now im lookin for a new beginng and continuing with the company of someone special.

I like a guy whos sweet, caring, fun, and isnt picky about women and wont use me, im so tired of bein played. I would like to find someone who will like me for me, and wouldnt mind bein around me, im basically lookin for someone i can talk to like a friend and hang with and can carry on a conversation. Im here for dating, maybe more, but right now im just seein whats out there. Im the kinda person that wants to settle down someday, but right now i just want to take things slow and take things as they come.

I'm a real nice guy who hasn't had much chance to meet people.

For the last few years I've been working full time while attending college. So that kept me pretty busy. Now that I've got my degree, I'm looking for a new career.

I'm a little shy at first, but once I get comfortable around someone, I get pretty talkative.

Hi. I'm a 32 year old professional living in central Nebraska. You would think it would be easy to talk about yourself, but really, its tougher than one would think. I run my own web design business. I'm a bit of a dabbler. I enjoy doing all sorts of things, from karaoke to acting to watching hockey. Since I still don't know what to put in this thing, I asked a couple of female friends to describe me. One wrote "Computer geek, karaoke king, theatre aficianado, loyal friend, Botticelli admirer, loving, lonely, looking for someone to be my someone." Another wrote "With the ability to rise and overcome all in your life you are a phoenix." And a third wrote "Jim is so sweet and he is always there for any of his friends and i would not trade him for anything in the world!"

What am I looking for? I'm not sure. I've really only had one major relationship in my life, and it just didn't work out. That person is still a great friend. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've had any really nasty breakups. I'd like to find someone who is willing to live with my quirks (odd sense of humor, disorganization) and has a flair for fun.

How do you summerize your life in a paragraph, I was raised "old school" I have old fashion values,like you can take a person at his/her word, their word is their bond. HA HA not so much anymore what's this world coming to....

To the max. To the extreme.
Doesn't matter who you are; I'm probably more awesome.
In every way. Just science here.
Mmmmmm written abuse. Feels so good.

My name is nathan bush, im a fun and outgoing guy. I live in Grand Island, Nebraska and have lived there most my life. I love hanging out with friends and spending time with family. Im looking for nice girl who wants to have fun and settle down in the near future.

I am a female who likes to have fun and enjoy life. I am an faithful practicing nonconformist. My biggest fear in life is to be considered normal. I have a boyfriend who is locked up in Hall County Department of Corrections so I am just exploring options. We have played around with the idea of adding some aditional playmates to our fun. I like to try anything once before saying it's not for me. Guys or girls. . . I'm open. . . No pun intended. . . lol Strike up a conversation and if I like what I hear then you'll hear from me.

WOOT! essays... I am going to tell you something right now, I hate essay questions. I never know what to write. So if I am going to write what comes to mind. If I ramble, I am sorry. lol, But here it goes.....

I live in a bigger city Nebraska. Right now I am a college student at Central Community College. I want to work in the movie industry as a cinema make up artist!!!! I love dancing. Other then that, I am casual person. I do not like to take things so extremely, but if I find something I love, I'll be tenacious. I guess I could be considered artistic. I am a loving girl who always puts my heart into what i do. I am a woman who is looking for love. My heat has been broken many times and I am looking to start over. I am a very open minded person, who is very affectionate and easy going. I am looking for someone who will support my artistic talent and will be there when I need them. I am a free spirit. I am a very spiritual person and I want someone who will be okay with that. I am pagan and I believe in the Great Goddess. Praying is big plan to me. I was raised catholic because my parents are. I respect all religions. As long as one respect me. That doesn't cover religion, but in all regions of life. You respect me and I will respect you. I am a firm believer in that you get what you give. When I fall in love, I give my heart to the person I am with. It leaves me out there... so I would say I am a pretty trusting person. I love hanging out with friends and family. I have currently been out of a relationship for that was 2 years long so I am still healing. But I really hope to meet a nice girl who can help me get past it all and heal.

NEXT!!!!!! The next thing you might be asking is, ....what I am looking for in a girl friend? i am looking for someone who has just as much energy as i do. im not into partying or drinking. i would rather stay home or hang out with my friends or with my girl over anything. i want a girl who knows what she wants and isnt afriad to go after it. I want a girl with a free spirit. A respectful girl. Someone who can have fun but be serious when need to be. i want an honest girl with no mind games. Most of all, I want truthfulness. If we have an honest relationship, it makes life soooo much easier.

Well, I really cant think of what else to writing so I guess I am about done. If your want to talk, I am always up for it.

I am available to provide you with a good spanking. Never tried? You should.

Tried of living by myself. Ready to have some fun with someone now and everlasting.I love going to the movies, ride my bike, go walking in the moonlight, watching some football and being outside doing something.I'm just one of those guys take life in stride.I been divorce over 3 years. I'm a single father with one daughter. I'm looking to have a relationship with someone or just hanging out with someone and having some fun.Like to meet new people and become good friends. I make time for anybody.I'm easy going person,friendly and faithful and I don't CHEAT.Like looking at the stars at night.
I'm not into playing games. I will love you to want me the way that I want you.The way it should be if you'd only let it be. I'll galdly spend forever standing by the woman who stands by her man because I'm a stand by my woman man.

i love life! I like to be involved but have trouble taking responsibility rolls. I like to be around people and have fun. I wanna see the world and life in a small town. I hope to be a super sweet teacher and be someone someone can look up to someday

I'm almost 22, & currently attending bar tending school. I love to drink-drunken thoughts are sober truths. I like to have fun, whether it be with guys OR girls, if you catch my drift ;) Anything else you wanna know, just ask.

I am very easy to get along with. I like to have fun. I like dancing, going to movies, sports, music, and just hanging out. I love to cuddle. I love going bowling. I love horses. I love Mustangs. I'm a very laid back person, I like to have fun. I am sensitive, I go out of my way to make others happy. I have two older half sisters from my moms first marriage, one older half brother from my dads first marriage, and a younger brother from my parents marriage. I play the alto sax, not very good, I'm a little rusty on it. I have some college. I plan on going back probably to be a computer programmer. I love to write poetry, although right now I have a major case of writers block, but I'm hoping to find someone to help me unblock it. Some of my poetry has been published here are some of poems.
Rhyme
I dont like to rhyme,
because I have not time.
I must admit though
when I have the time,
I like to rhyme.
Just a little as
you can see.

Life Itself
Life itself is
not worth living,
unless you are giving.
So be giving and
keep on living.
Life itself is
worth all,
life itself is
rewarding if you let it.
Life itself...,
life itself is
more precious then
anything on Earth!

Friends
Friends, they are
unique and special.
If you friend is
a good friend, keep
hold of that friend
as long as you can.
Don't put your
friend in a pan.
Put you friend
in a special place
and stay in touch.
For you never know
when you will ever
see or talk to them
again. Be sure to let
that friend know they
are special.

Those are just some examples of my poems, they weren't the best i've ever done but they will have to do for now. I don't really care for shopping, but I will go. One of my favorite stores is DEB and Hot Topic. I suffer from bipolar disorder. I am currently going to counseling. I like to drink every once in awhile to chill out. If there is anything else you'd like to know about me you can just ask. I'm a very open person. I really don't know what else to say. I'm just trying to put in words to make my profile more complete lol. I love dolphins I collect them. I have two tattoos, one is on my wrist and its a butterfly, and I have another one on my left shoulder and its a smile now cry later theater masks it symbolizes the good and bad times I have had. The butterfly I got with an old friend we got matching ones, but are no longer friends so it brings on a whole new meaning to me. The meaning now is that God has set me free from my sins. I have lived in several places like Omaha, Hastings, Kearney, Grand Island, Central City, and Aurora, Nebraska. My favorite colors are black and blue. I don't have a favorite song. I smoke cigarettes but I am trying to quit its a nasty habit.
Aching
My mind reels
with your essence
I watch you there
Your beautiful long, brown hair
The smile
So refreshing, so exquisite.
I long to touch you
smell you
taste you.
To wake up with you, to lay down beside you
To spend my days
wrapped in you.
But I must pretend
that I don't.
Yes, I know you are a lesbian
and you are out.
But I am not.
I hide
still fearful
still feeling different
still with
a man.
And there I shall stay
my fear envelopes me
keeps me forever
longing.
Aching.
Aching for you
beautiful girl.

I thought this was a good poem so I just had to add it in here.

I love to laugh! I like to try new things, and have fun.

I am here looking either for the woman of my dreams or maybe just someone that can put up with me.

We are a nudist couple looking to make friends and some friends with benifits with( women only ) we are easy going clean diease and drug free.want to know more just ask. My wife also has a fantasy of watching me with another woman so i am trying to make that come true for her.

I have moved to Columbus, NE- can't figure out how to change that part of my profile.

I taught high school ( mainly Chemistry, physics and mathematics ) for 34 years in Chicago Illinois area, took early retirement and moved to the farm where I grew up, located in south central Nebraska. After the big city, enjoy the slow laid back life style of small town, country living. Nothing greater than getting up in the morning and having your morning coffee out side smelling the fresh air ( no pollution) listeing to the birds sing and wild life ( rabbits, squirrels) playing. I enjoy the simple things in life, having a garden and canning or freezing the fruits of ones labor. Love to play golf ( but not that good) and perfer to walk and enjoy the beauty of the course. Also like billiards, cooking, playing cards, fishing, antiques, flea markets, auctions, and traveling.

I am a laid back kind of guy who enjoys music, movies, and football. I work at a Visitation Center providing services for families experiencing difficulties in dynamics. I am a loving uncle to 1 niece and 2 nephews.

I'm quiet and a listener. I have opinions but I will let you have your own. I want to meet new people and find out what they are like.

I am Levi. I work alot and go to school. Boring arent I.

well where to start...first off no mind games im so tired of that. i am beginning to think there isnt one women out there that doesnt play them. I am a very easy going person a very simple man nothing fancy i like a cold beer on friday nights good conversation and a good time. when im with someone im with them i have never and will never stray i have been alone for awhile now but thats my own choice i got tired of the b.s. of women who tell you they are devoted but you find out they have done this just not to you but to others so if your honest to god then let me know

Despite my disabilities I get around fairly well and would enjoy the company of a caring, considerate man to enrich my life. I'm looking for a long-term relationship to share my love & life with that special someone. I have 3 boys, 2 of which are autistic, but make life a fun journey. I enjoy movies, card games and spending time with family.

Not sure what else to say, so I guess send me a message and we can get to know each other better.

I am 27 years old, just recently out of a almost 3 year relationship. I'm new to the area and looking to find new people to connect with. I am looking for someone who shares some of the same interests as me. I enjoy being able to have conversations with people and light debates are great. I hate confrontations that lead to anger outbursts.
