I want to be inside your heart Are you ready I want to love forever Are you thinking I want to be inside your heart What I'm thinking I want to know you're with me

Yes, 1994.

Facts about me:

• My name is Dan.
• I'm 50, 6 feet tall, and, amazingly, still have my hair.
• I grew up in Brooklyn and live on long Island, have since I was 23 or so.
• I work in IT as a data analyst for a major healthcare company.
  
• I've taken a bunch of left turns in terms of my career, strange to think that 20 years ago I was a museum exihibit designer!
• I am a major animal person, in particular, cats. I have 7 (!!!) of my own (one is a foster who hates me) and I host The Shelter Cats Podcast.
• I've been single for 2 years after getting out of a very bad situation. All a learning experience!
• I'm funny, very sarcastic, have varied interests from tech to history to writing, and I can be a total goofball, or as they used to call me, a "hipster doofus."
• I know why the caged bird sings.

Faces about you:

• You're from the US, emphasis on the east coast. Bonus points if you're in NY or near NY.
• You're real. If I had a dollar for how many fakes, ghosts, bots, strange people, and general oddballs have messaged me when I’ve tried this in the past, I'd be able to retire on my own cruise ship.
• You want something real. As in you want to really get to know each other and plan on meeting when we are ready.
• You're actulally single, which I unfortunately have to mention.
• You don't ghost.
• You message me something more than "hey."
• You're cool with moving off this platform in short order.
  
• You're as ready as I am to write our happy ending and have our last ever first date together.
  
• You want to know why the caged bird sings.

If you've read this far, put the word "felines" somewhere in your message to me!

I am ready. Are you?
