Hi there,
Okay! For a start, you've put 'hang out' as what you're looking for. If you're actually looking for dating then I'd change it to that, you'll turn up in far more searches than with 'hang out'.
'Prefer not to say' on the 'children?' question is normally interpreted as 'I wanted to say no but didn't think that would look very good'. After all, if it was a yes then there'd be no reason to hide it. So if you're undecided, change it to that, if it's a no then be honest.
Professional Problem Solver - I find it hard to believe that's your actual job title. It looks like a joke and jokes under the job part normally mean 'my real job is embarrassing in some way', so if this really is your job I'd explain it in your description - 'I really am a professional problem solver, as vague as that sounds...' or again, be honest.
I'm intelligent, direct, very honest
I would cut everything before this and make this your first line. The rest is just meandering. These girls are on the internet to find a man so they're probably not *that* sceptical about it.
... or so people say
Just keep the positive part.
My motto is: You must do the thing that scares you most.
If you must have little inspirational mottos in your profile - which I don't really agree with - then at least expand on this and give an example of a fear you've overcome.
Either as friends or something more.
I can't speak for every woman here but men who purport to be 'friends' with women before moving in on them as something more are a bit creepy - I don't like the idea of a man worming his way into my affections as a supposed friend when what he really wants is a relationship. It's up to you but I'd cut this line, then bring the paragraph below up so that it continues on from the 'someone to make a connection with' line.
You could really do with a decent paragraph about things you enjoy doing. You also have no interests put down. Put in the effort and get down 10-15 decent interests. Browse other people's profiles for help getting started if you're unsure what to put. Then expand on the things you like doing in your description. In my opinion the magic standard is 1 paragraph about yourself, 1 about your interests then one about what you're looking for. You're almost there :)
Your first date idea is creepy. It's not a first date, it's some sort of fantasy you apparently have and it's not romantic, it's just off-putting. Think of an actual first date idea and write that down.
You have some great potential here. Good luck :)
