Message: How's it goin? I'm Kristy, I just moved right near San Mateo and I wanna meet a nice guy around here :). I moved here a couple of weeks ago for work and now that I'm here I have nobody to hang out with! I read your profile... You're cute and I liked what you had to say :).

I'm 22/F/single and I'm lookin for a guy who is a little bit older or more mature than me. You say you're 26 and you're cute so I guess you're qualified :)

My friend Jen from back home suggested I tried using friendster to meet people in my area. I just signed up and my profile sux hehe. I do have a blog/profile page at GirlyDiaries.com ... I have alot of photos and stuff up if you wanna see me.

I left you a personal msg on my homepage and I took a new pic for you today. Come check me out when you have a chance, k?

Lookin forward to seeyin ya,
Kristy
