APPLICATION TO DATE ME
Who am I?
I’m a fun-loving girl who enjoys swimming, queso, movies, good conversation, and sneaking into hotel pools. I’m an author, and my first book* is out. I’m not asking for any qualifications** that I’m not willing or able to supply myself. More than anything, I see this humorous experiment as a mini-adventure; I enjoy authentically putting myself out there and getting to know people. In a way, that’s what I think life’s all about.
Mission of this application:
I am trying to cut through the noise and offer intentional openness with this outside-the-dating-box application. I didn’t like the “game” so I made up my own.
**Qualifications—YOU:
- Spend a lot of time laughing (as I’m doing as I write this). 
- See that there is a lot more going on around us than meets the eye and are open to the magic and goodness that our world has to offer. 
- Take care of yourself physically: You are active, and want to live a long, healthy life. 
- Have a faith, but not the kind that alienates or judges others. 
- See God’s table as having “a lot more chairs than we give Him credit for” and admit that we do not dictate who sits with Him. 
- Are comfortable with someone who feels emotions and expresses them openly. 
- Take care of yourself emotionally: You are in touch with yourself (strengths and weaknesses). You have people you talk things out with and you are open to counseling. 
- Might not love confrontation (who does!?), but you’re willing to bravely walk through the difficult times to relish and thrive in the good ones. 
- Have a good relationship with your family; it might not be perfect, but you love and “show up” for each other. 
- You are intelligent, curious, and playful. You like adventures and having fun. 
Job Duties:
Show up ready to get to know each other.
Process:
If you dare, please fill this out, and let’s see where it goes…
Outcome
A sincere thank you, and I wish the absolute best on your dating journey
