Clinton Library strolls, honest talks

I walk the riverfront near the Clinton Library most evenings after work and I always pause on the bridge to look at the water, and lately I've been noticing how many couples walk by holding hands and I think, I want that. I'm twenty-eight, a policy analyst for the state, and roughly fourteen months ago a three-year relationship concluded because we were good friends who never should've dated. We figured it out eventually. I'm looking for a man who's honest first and charming second — someone who leads with truth even when it's awkward, because I've learned that charm without honesty is just a performance. I'm direct, politically engaged, and I have a sharp sense of humor that sometimes cuts before I mean it to. I'm working on that. I want someone who can handle sharpness without shrinking from it. Write me something true, even if it's small.
