Des Moines's Local Dating Service

I'm an eighteen year old liberal female with ambitions and ideas. I'm a big fan of having a good time. How I get that good time varies. When I am alone I read, write, and rock out to music. Or sing karaoke. People always appreciate that one.

I am really horrible at things like this.
In a nutshell I enjoy a lot of different things. I have a dog that I adore, and I love being around my friends. I have a great love for all things movie/music related, I am obsessed with my TiVo. I know that it's a typical girl thing to say but I enjoy fashion and all the creativity that goes along with them. I am shy at first when I am around people it doesn't take a lot to get me out of my shell.

I am a student at Mercy for radiology. I haven't met alot of people here yet. I haven't had the best luck with guys and I don't know why. I like the cute guys that are sweet and fun to be around. Also someone who knows what they want in life and know where they are going.

I am a fun out-going bisexual guy. I am passionate about sex, spirituality, politics and life in general. I am active in a couple of games groups. We play board and card games. I would love to get into a RPG. I love to listen to music, hang out with friends, go to movies, enjoy nature, road-trip, and explore the internet. I am deep. I laugh a lot. I'm serious and fun and the same time but not equally.

I have no one to look up to and nothing to look forward to.I don't belong in 2009 I belong in 1978, but I'm going to try & make the best of this. Maybe someday I'll meet someone who's stuck here too. Until then I'll keep rockin' & rollin' & record spinnin' my little heart out.

â??The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars" jack kerouac

I love to laugh. I'm always up for a good time and making the best out of any situation! I'm obsessed with music, anything to do with fashion, photography, art & design. I couldn't live without my family and friends (I have the best).

Hey everyone, nice to meet you! My name is Jennifer. I am a fun loving mother of two.

My name is Jamie-Lynn. Im 22 years old. Im the youngest of 4. I like going on long walks, swimming, watching movies, play cards, hanging out with friends and family. Im very family oriented. I work long weeks. I collect m&m and tinkerbell memorabilia.

Life is not a sprint but instead a marathon; I am in no hurry to race in to a relationship, nor do I wish to remain in one that has stalled. I love sarcasm and how it helps make everyday conversation a meandering ball of fun. I make mistakes, I learn from my mistakes and I believe this process makes one a better person.

I love change and for this reason fall and spring are my favorite seasons. I love thunderstorms for the excitement they provide. What makes me happy is not money or material items but the company of those around me with who I share my life. I believe that life is nothing more than a million moments and it's up to each of us to make the best of every one of them.

Simply put, I am looking for my best friend. Someone who can make my heart smile and glow and with whom I can share life's experiences. I would like to find a partner who is honest, trustworthy, caring and considerate of others.

I like fishing and camping when its nice outside.
My Family and Friends are very important to me
I like watching movies but not scary ones, I hate those.
I love the TV show friends and own all ten seasons
I like board games and card games
Just hanging out with my friends
I am pretty shy at first but open up once I get to know you
I am a bigger girl so if that bothers you I'm probably not right for you

From My Facebook Profile:
I am 18 and ready to go to college (well, almost 18). i am an early grad from Johnston High!! Go Dragons! i am a cheerleader, dance, envirnomentalist, partier, a supportive partner and unique in my own ways.
I like I am very outgoing and I find intrest in anyone who can take risk. I love to listen to music and dance my heart out! I can be mean when I want to be but I am the sweetest thing you'll meet in a while.

My name is Ray, I'm me. I live in DES, I'm not a big fan of this town, I don't know whatto put here so ask me and I'll tell.

I Enjoy going out playing pool drinking beers, hanging out with Friends at the bar.. I work a full time job, and college classes atm. Love to go out to movies, if i had someone to go with.. hate going alone lol.

I am a hardworking, recently separated U.S. Marine. I enjoy playing with my dog, working and building things. Also working on the computer with various programs, building them as well. I enjoy working because have nothing to do drives me a little crazy. Playing music was a big part of my life before the marine corps and I'm trying to get back into it now.

Hey... the name's Megan. I guess I am going to give you a short summary of myself. I am a genuine, outgoing girl. I like to have fun, but am very motivated when it comes to my job. I am an Esthetian and work full time as a manager for cosmetics. I really enjoy trying new things.. adventures, ect. I am usually up for anything. I can be very cheesy sometimes too.

I am probally the most happiest person you would have ever met, I know how to carry my self, how to keep my head held high.To be frank I'm a staight out goof ball,believe it or not, I have plenty of wittness to prove this.Even when the world seems to be against me,and not for me I am strong of being postive and out going, now I do know a goof ball is not all there is to getting though this world of hate, so as well I am a serious woman when I need to be. Now to get straight to the point I love to have a good time where ever I go. I affect many people in so many ways where ever I am.
God has blessed me with the gift of a loving heart, a understanding spirt,and a smile that is never forgotten. I love to have fun, and if fun is'nt there where I am I will bring it and that's no joke LOL,I love my family and friends, I would do anything for them, it doesn't matter who they are I am there for them as they are for me. Being at work is like a vocation to me, I feel like the stress that tries to hunt me is blocked from the employement that is very sucessful. I'm so thank for so many thing's in my life even for the bad, but there is one important gratitude that I am thank for being able to say, that there is no one like me and never will be. Being me is what I love the best, and that's what makes me who I am today!

I am a quiet person for the most part.
I enjoy writing, i enjoy the concept of Love, even though i am always in lack of such a thing, eh.

I love Art, in all forms. conceptual, modern art, anything that is unusual is my thing.

i spend time in muesums, art galleries and the like.

I hold certain things close to my heart. I enjoy seeing the beauty in what others find ugly or sad. death is pretty.

i am just me, and i just want to find someone who is exactly like me in everyway.

I'm a senior BFA and BA student at Drake University. I'm double majoring in Drawing and Art History. I'm originally from Missouri, am the oldest of five children, and I love my family very much. I'm really quite shy at first, but it's worth getting to know me. My interests are pretty basic, movies and books, painting and drawing. I have a very eclectic personality, so a lot of things interest me. For example, I am currently doing research for my Art History thesis focusing on women in erotic art. I like learning new things and will usually try anything once. I like going out and having fun, but I think I have more fun at home hanging out with a group of friends. Honestly I find it hard to describe who I am as a person because I don't feel I fit into any neat category. I am me, all I know is that I'm fun, intelligent, creative and a little offbeat. I'm kinda clumsy, but I think that adds a little charm. I've been told that I have a very passionate personality, and I live for every moment.

Great, "here's a box in which to completely summarize yourself. Go!" I have a hard time with things like this. Then again, if this were especially easy for somebody, I probably wouldn't be all that interested in them. Hmm...let's make this fun. Instead of trying to put my whole identity in this box, I'll do what is customary on things of this nature: I'll list a bunch of character 'quirks' that don't in any way define me but hopefully make me seem whimsical and intriguing. :P

-I always sleep on my side.
-I can't really cook, but I do make some interesting culinary concoctions.
-I have a fun, bellowing laugh.
-I truly believe your eyes are the portal to your soul.
-I love baseball.
-I drum in my car on the way to work.
-When filling a fountain drink, I often get 3/4 Diet Dr. Pepper, 1/4 Coke.
-I dab the grease off my pizza with a paper towel.
-I love lap-swimming.
-I think that Twitter should be removed from existence.
-The stronger the coffee, the better.

I'm a 24 year old originally from chicago that has found Des Moines and settled in. I am looking for someone to make me laugh till I cry and I hope to do the same for someone special. I find humor in everything and just like to have a good time doing whatever it is that I'm up to. I would say I have a fair amount of natural goof and I wouldn't want it any other way. Normal is boring and I have to try new things with people I care about. I like pretending I can cook even though almost everything I make somehow looks the same...let's just say I need some direction. I love food network, discovery channel, and the history channel. My favorite shows are probably the Office and it's always sunny in philadelphia. I love doing things inside or out!

I'm Tiffany, 25 Yrs. old. I have two amazing kids, Dusty & Daniel. I am engaged to there Father.
I enjoy music, crocheting, spending time with my kids, card games, reading, Twilight Books.
I don't have a lot of friends. That's why i am here though. To meet new people in my area.

I seem shy till you get to know me. I haven't really dated in a long time. Looking for a long term but need to get out and live again. I want to have fun in the process. I have a big heart with a lot of love to give to the right person. If you want the same let's talk.

hey wuts up im travis...

...

My name is Ben. My sense of humor can be rather subversive at times, but tends to run more towards "fun at other people's expense" and "your mom" jokes than anything else. People on here tend to not like me because I express myself opinions towards them in unconventional methods. I cook but probably won't do it for you. I like good music and cheap beer. That's all I'm going to tell you, because there needs to be some mystery in this world. Also, I killed a guy once. It was in Guam.

Not a summary, but a very specific thing about me: I didn't swear for a really long time because I didn't really like it and I grew up without any swearing going on at home. Within the last few years, I changed my stance and started swearing because, as it turns out, it can be really funny if you are clever about it. As it stands now, I don't swear very often unless I am making a joke... just so it will be more unexpected and hopefully more humorous.

Which is all to say that I care very much about joking around.

Also, I am not impressed by my Similar Users section on here. Disappointing.

I am currently attending college working on a Finance Degree. I played high school football, baseball. In college I am active in my fraternity and with my job.

I'm in a relationship with a guy. I'm SOLELY looking for girls who want to trade pics, dirty talk online, or be friends.

Don't even waste your time if you're a guy. You WILL not get a response. No offense, guys, I just already have a man. I don't need another, no matter how much you think I do.

"You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose! today you are you, that is true-er than true, there is no one that is you-er than you!" Dr. Seuss

My name is Amy im 21 years old and have 2 great little boys ages 3 and 15months. Just got out of a really bad relationship so im trying to start over with my life. Im looking for someone that loves kids and doesnt mind me having 2.

I think its wierd when people are very near sighted. When you look directly at their eyes it looks like two chunks are missing from their head.

I have jumped off an air craft carrier 3 times during war time. I also used to drive said ship. I was in the navy from 2000-2004.

I have two kids. Chances are you won't meet them. No offense I just dont like people around my kids.

I would like to think that I am a bit above average when it comes to intelligence. Not too smart and not too incredibly dumb.

I bite my fingernails when I am nervous. Sometimes people are intimidated by me. Honestly dont know what it is.

Beerfest is such a great movie. Beer is good.......

I am gnostic. I belive in god, not the devil. I like to go to the mormon chat and try to argue religon with them. I usually get disconnected. BTW I love friendly debates. If I know enough about the subject I will argue with you. I lettered in debate in high school.

I have a lot of interesting stories. I would like to think I am a fighter.(not literally) People remark on my strength alot. As well as my humor.

I'm a single, open-minded life-long resident of Iowa. A twin. A sports fan and a lover of the arts. Wage-slave. Very liberal/socialist. Love history and travel.

I don't know what to say really if u want to find out something don't be scared just ask.

I'm basically a nice guy from the south side of Chicago. Currently finishing up my last year at Drake University in Iowa...thank god. Hobbies include photography, playing sandlot baseball, watching sports, hanging out with friends, writing funny jesus songs with my friends (sorry if that offends you but that's just how I roll), going on commando raids with friends (inside joke of course), playing cards or drinking games, being on the run from Drake security. Basically I keep it real.

I've recently graduated from college and I'm moving to Des Moines to start my first "real" job.

UPDATE: I'm not in Des Moines any more, but still in Iowa. I was abroad last year.

I'm Kevin 25 living in Des Moines, IA. I currently go to college for auto tech and work fulltime. I'm here to meet new people and see what happens from there. I'm a pretty laid back guy who is always up for having a good time. Most people would say i'm nice, caring, honest, and dependable. I'm also the type of person that always helps out whoever I can before myself. If you would like to know more just message me thanks.

I've managed to survive for 24 years with my high risk lifestyle. It's confusing. I don't talk very much, and when I do I won't shut up. I do dangerous things because I think they sound fun. I think good health is the slowest possible rate at which to die, and care nothing for what anyone says about what I'm doing to my body. I love sideshows. And burlesque dancing. And music. I read a lot. I like gaming. I like good conversation, and value comfortable silence. I listen to music, and watch movies. Zombies are great. MST3K and Rifftrax are pretty amazing. I don't like filling these out.

ABOUT ME: I am 32, Brazilian-American, I have a B.S. in Economics, and I will be attending graduate school soon. I am very down to the Earth, ambitious and definitely not materialistic. I look for a woman who is interested in having an adventurous and exciting life. I travel a lot and plan on travelling even more often. I went to Toronto in April, visited Montreal in May and I spent three weeks in Brazil last October, so I need someone who LOVES to travel. I speak Portuguese fluently and I love to cook. My favorite ethnic foods are Indian, Afghani and Thai.

GOALS: I am returning to university next year to get a Masters in Public Administration(MPA). I may go for the Ph.D program in Public Administration depending on the outcome of my graduate work. My ultimate goal is to land a job in the public sector dealing with public policy management and development. I am interested in methodologies and challenges involved in public policy administration.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT: I was raised by a single mother. Watched her get hurt many times. Made me believe how important it is to treat a woman right. My mother also taught me how to have inner strength and not to get walked on. I had to overcome some difficulties in life but I am very proud of my accomplishments so far.

WHO I AM LOOKING FOR: I don't expect a woman to be perfect but you have got to be ambitious and willing to grow intellectually and spiritually. Like I said, I love to travel and I can't never get enough of it. Looks are somewhat important and you don't have to be a model but you need to love and respect yourself, nothing is sexier than a woman who is confident and loves herself, just the way she is. Also, I don't expect you to hold a Ph.D but education is very important in my opinion.

MUSIC: I love classic rock and country music. I can listen to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, the Doors but also, I am a huge fan of George Strait, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, John Conlee, Toby Keith, Alabama, etc. I am definitely a city person but I have a country side also, I love going to a good rodeo and wearing a cowboy hat. I do drive a pick up truck and I think I always will :)

SUPERFICIALITY: If you are obsessed with materialism, big homes, expensive cars, designer clothing or celebrities, we would NEVER get along. I am looking for someone who has substance, depth and intellectual curiosity.

EXPECTATIONS: If you are looking for Prince Charming, I just ain't IT. I live reality everyday and life is not a fairy tale. I don't even understand where women get this idea that one day they will find a "perfect" man and that marriage will be eternal happiness. FACT FOR YOU: More than 50% of marriages FAIL, I am an honest person, I have morals and values BUT I am not perfect because there is no SUCH THING!

SENSE OF HUMOR: I have a GREAT sense of humor, and it is hard for me to take life or even this website seriously sometimes. If you do not have a sense of HUMOR, honestly, I don't think we would get along.

(( FIRST OFF IF YOU DONT LIKE THE WAY I LOOK THEN JUST DONT SAY ANYTHING)) How can you put a self summary on here. Well ill try i'm very driven for what i want in life. I work hard for what i have no i dont have everything but i have everything that i need. I'm a single mother i work a fulltime job i also go to school fulltime i'm going to be a medical assistant am halfway through the course it gets hard but thats how life is you have to motivate yourself for what you want in life and this is what i want and need.. I put my kids before my self always have always will. My kids,family and friends mean the world to me. Just like everyone i'm my own person and i wont change i'm a decent person i help people out in every way that i can if i can.

I am 19 years old i have been single for about 7 months now i want to settle down and be in a serious relationship again but it just hasnt happened yet but hopefully i can meet a gurl soon..

What do you want to know? I like travel and seeing new places, reading, spending time getting to know people, hanging with friends, anything else that catches my interest....

I grew up in a suburb of MN. I went to college in Iowa, and I am back working here now (for the past 5 years). I love my family and friends. I have friends all over the world. I have been fortunate to have had opportunities to travel internationally quite a bit. I was in the Peace Corps and lived abroad for six years. I also like traveling around the US. Life is good. I am looking for someone special to enjoy it with!

Hi everyone im just a beautiful girl looking for sexy prince charming. Im not into players, cheaters, liars. Or people who get pleasure out of breaking peoples hearts. I am however willing to answer any questions you might have and if things go well i have a pic. i can then send

I love sports, especially volleyball! I played almost every sport in High School, and was pretty good at some and better at most. I can be really blonde at certain points so yea. I like to have fun , chill out, and be myself. I do like both guys and gurls, but I have a boyfriend for almost two years now and I love him to death. I am basically just looking for friends and people to talk to. I just got a tattoo about 2 months agoand I like it alot! I was born and raised in Florida, I just recently moved to Iowa with my b/f and his family.Right now I freezing my white ass off. lol. I like to stay in shape and workout whenever I can. I also have a slight OCD problem, I hate being late and I like to keep things even and somethings in certian places. It sucks but it can also be a good thing,haha.

Hello everyone! i'm 25 years old, i live in Des Moines, i like to stay active by skiing, golfing, boating, hunting, going out, working, spending time with my friends and family...im a very busy guy!! Im on this site in hopes of finding a good looking woman who wants to have an on going "friends with benefits" type of relationship... not looking for a 1 time sex partner, i want something hot that will last! let me know if you are interested!

Dating seems to be a numbers game. Just trying to up my odds.

... Yes, that was meant to be a joke.

I'm a city girl through and through. I've been traveling, working on political campaigns trying to find that place, that ideal destination that is love at first site. You know, the place where you arrive and can't ever think of leaving.

I'm a political organizer by trade, activist by chance. I've been pursuing issues of social justice since I can remember. It's one of those things I feel genuinely called to do.

I'm just looking.

I told my friend Kenna that I wasn't writing an essay. But she Naggy Mcnagged me until I caved.

So I'm Tim, and I'm pretty skeptical about this internet stuff. But I'm at a point in my life now where I'm ready to branch out. I work a pretty harsh schedule so I'd rather cut to the chase and meet people like me!

A large chunk of my free time after work goes into babysitting my twin niece and nephew, and running to stay fit. I love Horror films (B-class YES PLEASE!) and collect several comic series. I'm really family oriented (hence the babysitting). My sisters and extended family are a really important part of my life.

I enjoy nearly all college sports, football, basketball, etc. and anyone even passingly familiar with me knows I'm a hawkeye fan.

I am sort of a conundrum. I have this dark side about me where I like really dark things. I have multiple skull tatoos and like things of that nature, as well as I like to be dominating in certain situations. But I also have another side that's quite opposite. I can be very metro for a guy too. I like to dress up when I go out and I shave more of my body than most men. But for that last one I do have a completely logical explanation.

I like to go out and experience a lot in the world. I've been hiking, fishing, camping and even skydiving. Let me just say, it was more intense than the time I forgot how to sit down. If you understand that reference you're cool in my book.

Recently finished grad school moved downtown, started working in the real world. Good grief.

I have lived in this town for 16 years, though enjoy travel. I like bicycle riding, swimming, gardening, and snuggling with the dog on the couch. But, it is better to have someone to share it with. I am the youngest of eight children.
I went to school in a small town in SD. I have a facebook account. I spent my time in the Army in MO and Germany, then National Gaurd in SD. I moved to Des Moines 16 years ago to marry a woman.

Hello, my name is Brett. I am from Southern Illinois currently living in South Des Moines. I have been here for just over three years. I love anything that has to with outdoors. My favorite pastimes include hunting, fishing, camping, and boating.

Hi every body, I'm on here cause I love to meet new people. I am from Lao, Southeast Asia. I am a single dad with 2 boys who are the center of my life, dont know what I would do with out them. I like trying new things, like eating out at differnt places, never complain about any kind of food. I enjoy going to the movies. occasionally I would watch re-runs. Love all kind of movies, scary, action, chick flick you name it. Very open minded. I try to stay active, either go biking, walking. When I have some time off from work I normally travel or take my kids to theme parks; thank god for roller coaster...lol. I can be friends with anybody...

I tie short people's shoes for a living. I grew up in a small Iowa town but now live in the ghettos of Des Moines. I enjoy sports, music, and anything geeky.

I like to be outdoors experiencing life; camping, hiking, fishing, canoeing, traveling, golfing, and working out, but I can be found inside on many occasions. I'm willing to try anything at least once and enjoy being in social situations. I am honest and will always speak my mind even if it's not what you want to hear. I am slow to anger and am almost always in a happy mood. I find it a waste of time to dwell on the past and try not to let things bother me.

I am a bit of a sci-fi nerd and enjoy things like comic books, fantasy novels, and occasionally watch star trek on tv. I'm always up for listening to live bands because music is very important to me. I love going to the movie theater to catch what's new, but can be just as content watching a movie at home if it's with the right person.

I'm looking for something a little more serious and am seeking someone who enjoys the same things as I do. Someone to be my closest friend and someone to share the best parts of life with.

I am a 25 year old college graduate. I have successfully undergone a career change without having a real plan in mind, so that worked out pretty well. I'm an administrative assistant, which has some pretty varied job responsibilities. It works for now.

I'm a very odd person. Some of that I can blame on genetics, most I can't. When most people meet me, they think that I'm shy or a bit standoff-ish. It takes me a while to be my true self around people....

I grew up on "The Princess Bride" and loved it before it became popular.

I tend to just state random things.

I pretty much like going out and having a good time.. only live once right. I like tanning, working out, and playing soccer. Ask for a pic

Hi everyone I am a single mom of two. I love to spend time with family and friends. I am still a country girl at heart, but have lived in the city most of my adult life. I love music, watching football, going for walks, playing cards and board games, going to church and at time just spending some quiet time at home. I have a full time job!
