Talking about myself is a little tough, but I'll give it a shot. My name is Charisse, I'm always a little shy at first, but if you give me a little time to surprise you, I usually end up being the life of the party.

What I want out of life is an opportunity to be happy, to know that I've made other people happy and a little slice of success. I hope to meet someone who thinks about things on the same level that I do, or at least pretend I'm not too silly. I'm not too sure that I believe in dating in the conventional way that it's commonly approached. Ideally, I'd like to have a friendship and find that this is the person I've been waiting for and can't live without. Wouldn't go as far as saying that I'm not a romantic, (I watched Dirty Dancing 238239 times as a kid, what else would I expect?), I just like things to be real.

I'm pretty much a home-type of person. I like to feel safe and comfy; Watch a lot of movies, do a lot of cooking. A little embarrassed to say, but I do have a thing for video games-- World of Warcraft at the moment.

I want to travel when the time is right. I want to see Paris, rather than only read about it. My dream vacation is to Puerto Rico though; Don't know why... Just want to have been there. Locally, I like to check out art shows when they come through.

And pink. I love anything that's pink.
