Princess and the Quest for Love, part 1

There are many princesses who are not interested in finding a charming prince.   I am decidedly not one of those sorts.  As a non-drinker, I have no interest in looking for princes in bars.  Clubs are too loud for proper conversation.  I'm very shy and so I don't go out of my way to start chatting up guys at social events.  So far, no charming prince has approached me and professed his undying love for me.  Therefore, I have commenced on a Quest for Love via internet matchmaking sites.  
I tried one called plentyoffish.com, but the men there were skeazy so I deleted my profile.  Now, I am trying a paid site that is geared toward Mormons.  I figured since I want to marry a Mormon charming prince that a site with lots of them in one place would make my quest easier.  This is what I have in my "greeting" on that site:
A little about me...
I am a short, round-ish, darling brunette. I enjoy reading and can spend hours wandering around bookstores finding that next perfect read. I favor comedy and action movies, with suspense thrown in for spice. I detest chick-flicks and I hope you do, too. I have a very eclectic taste in music I like at least a few songs from just about every genre, but my most favorite songs tend to be classic rock. I do spend a lot of time putting on eye makeup, but it's not because I'm high maintenance-I just really enjoy playing with colors (I was totally that kid in art class who never got anything painted because mixing the paints was just more fun). I love retro-styles in music, in dress, in make-up (I prefer writing with fountain pens, I hand-write and mail thank you cards, I wear pin-up make up, and I prefer suspender-belts and stockings to pantyhose). I'm pretty much amazing ;-)
How I feel about the Church...
I feel very happy to know that the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is on the earth. It's such a blessing to have a living prophet guiding us today.

What I do for fun...
I enjoy playing card games, seeing movies, talking with friends, and trying out new restaurants. I definitely enjoy cuddling and spending lots of time with my love interest, but there are definitely times when I simply need a girls night out. I read a lot, usually suspense, but I'm now getting into reading in the sci-fi and fantasy genres. I love kids and I hope to have some one day.

My good buddy and fellow princess Scarlett is also searching for love on this same site, and we like to share stories about our quests.  Since she and live near each other, sometimes we get matched up with the same prince (and we've found that they're not always charming).  One evening Scarlett told me that she had been instant message chatting with a guy on the site who said he wanted to meet her in person, and then...and then...and then her internet died and she couldn't reply to his request.  Poor Scarlett.  After comisserating with her for a bit, I shared my news, which was that some guy had given me his phone number.  
I'm not sure what drove her to think this next thought, but I'm glad she did.  "His name isn't Sheep52, is it?" she said (this was a text messaging conversation we had).  "Lol, yes, that's the guy," I wrote back.  "And his name is Damien?" she asked.  Hmmmm, starting to look fishy.  "Uhhhh, he told me his name is Joe," I replied.  A day or two later, Scarlett and I were at a friend's house and used his computer to look up the Sheep52 profile.  Indeed, it was the same guy.
To be continued...
