Is your name really “Spike Works”?

Uhhhh, No. Come on, this is the internet and who really knows who or what is reading these pages. While it’s probably kind of improbable, you could be a crazy stalker or something and follow me, watch me, and or kill me. Not cool. So I made up a name based on the whole “porn star” analogy: Your first pet’s name and the first street you lived on. My dog’s name was Spike (And no I am not a “dog”) and the first street I ever lived on was Canal Works. Spike Canal didn’t sound as good, so I went with Spike Works.

Are you really looking for Ms. Right?

Yea. I am. Just like everybody else, I would like a little love and companionship in my life.

Are you trying to sell something or get my e-mail address so you can spam the living daylights out of me?

No, I am not. Not at all. First, we do not send spam. Spam sucks (In my opinion, both kinds, but in this case we’re only talking about e-mail). You answer the questions; if we’re a potential match, great. If we’re not, then not. I ask for your e-mail address at the end to send you your results; it’s a one-time thing and your address isn’t stored anywhere at anytime. If you get all the questions right, you’ll get a special e-mail instead and I ask that you respond in order to allow me to keep it and get in touch with you. Basically, you have to give me permission a second time in order to have me send you anything other than your basic results. I might also recommend a dating service or something if we don’t match, but that’s just to help you out in return for taking the time to give my profile a shot. But even that would be free, so again, not trying to sell anything!

How can you tell if I am Ms. Right over the computer?

I can’t, but what I can do is tell if there is a large chance you are Ms. Wrong. Not saying I do, but for an example you love cats and I can’t breath if I’m on the same block as one: Chances are pretty good that we aren’t going to be right for each other. Not the best example, but it works. (BTW: I don’t hate cats. They’re so warm and cuddly…)

Who are YOU?

I know, I ask you a ton of questions, but give you very little information about myself. That’s done on purpose… If you were to know everything there is to know about me, then you could answer all of these questions ‘correctly’ (At least in the sense that there is a right or wrong answer) whether you fit or not, and that would kind of kill the whole point of this, now wouldn’t it? So let’s just leave it at this: I am a guy who is looking for Ms. Right, I am pretty successful, been told that I am handsome (Whatever that means), I am employed, live in the US, have my own house, and enjoy outdoor activities. (See even that gives away some information: If you into apartment dwelling people who hate the thought of being outdoors in the sun, then we’re probably not right for each other!)

Why the time and effort for this site and not a dating service?

Who said I haven’t used a dating service? If you really must know, I have, and they are still searching for my ‘perfect match’. In the meantime though, I thought it would be kind of cool to hedge my bets and build this site on my own. Maybe they’ll come through first, maybe I’ll find the perfect person myself. As for the time and effort of this site: I enjoy building internet sites, writing, and using my brain. Look at this site (Which only took a little bit of time, to be honest with you) as a hobby that just might bring me the most important thing in the world; someone to love. Sure beats model airplanes, now doesn’t it?

Anything else?

I don’t think that I have anything else to say, but if you have a question that you don’t see answered here, feel free to use the contact form (Click here) and I’ll try and post an answer. Please be cool and actually take the profile before commenting on it, and you really do need to “pass” it before I’ll get back to you. As much as I would love e-mail solicitations via the contact form, if you can’t even take the time to find out if it could possibly work, it really won’t. Other questions or comments: Send them off! I won’t answer personally, but I will read them!
