Well, if you're looking for anyone, you're sure apt to find someone! Be careful about what you desire, some people who are not careful have the misfortune of getting exactly what they desire.:rolleyes:

well i'll have to talk with them get to know them a bit before i'll hike with someone
If you're leaving in April you'll have your pick of the litter, so to speak. Don't worry about a partner... it really doesn't work that way. Just go.
Welcome, welcome, :welcome . I'm glad you're here.:)
I expect you'll find many of us are at least a bit crazy about backpacking too. You should fit right in.;)

Don't worry about starting out with a partner. If you start from Amicalola on a Saturday you'll run into a lot of other potential thru-hikers. Over time you'll hook up with someone compatible with you (socially and speed-wise).
I started a thru-hike on April 15 2003 there were two people at Amicalola ready to start a thru-hike. One of them was me. There were not a lot of people. Always plan for the unexpected.
I would not be too concerned about finding someone to start with. You will find plenty of people out on the AT and sooner or later you will find a suitable match.
I also couldn't find someone on Springer, April 12, to take my picture. By no means there is a crowd that time of year.
Happy trails.
