I'm getting toward 30, and want to meet a bird, and settle down. I don't know if this is actually possible, since I am terribly cynical. I also gave up drinking about 3 years ago, and haven't done any dating since. I've been shagging someone as casual, but that is now over, or at least, I can't be doing it anymore, because she's not the one for me, and I need to end it.
