My bio

So if someone asks you out, would it make them turn and run if you told them the truth up front?

To just say, "You know, I'm really a big dork, I'm silly and laugh at silly things, but I love to laugh. I will trip over my own feet, and just hope I won't fall. I will find no shame in crawling around like a lion with a bunch of toddlers, and just hope I'm not flashing the whole room. I will make faces. I will cry when I'm mad, or sad, or happy, or overwhelmed. Nothing gets under my skin more than being told I'm out of control, whether I am or not. I will walk around barefoot when I shouldn't. I will try to get away with wearing jeans any time I can. I will roll my eyes, eventually. I will say the wrong thing at some point in time, and try to bypass it because I'm prideful and hate to be wrong, but will apologize later. I will be competitive even in the stupidest things (like eating dessert). I will eat ice cream when it's pouring rain outside, even when you look at me like I'm crazy. I will wear flip flops when it's pouring rain outside, even when you remind me I will get sick. I will love with all I have, and forget faults, to a fault. I will care. I will laugh with you, and cry with you. I will try to be interested in what you are, and ask that you do the same. I will try to love your family, and expect that you love mine. I'm not perfect and never will be, because that would be boring, and expect you to be imperfect yourself. I will give all I have."

Okay so a little formal and long term, but seriously if we were all blatantly honest the first time we met someone, friend or coworker or potential date, wouldn't it prevent us from trying to be someone we are not to only one day stress over the reality of us coming out.
