About Me

I am a full fledged urbanite but I prefer the forest, the ocean, wooden homes, stained glass and potlucks with friends. I like to sleep in tents, ride my bike, be in & on the water, say yes to things that scare me, air guitar like no one's looking & read the New Yorker (not necessarily all at the same time). I eat Szechuan & I have a 7-year-old god-daughter. Your mom will like me. I have a career that’s unique, demanding & totally fulfilling.; volunteered with orphans in Romania (where I was also bitten by a feral dog). I’m addicted to TV (I don’t mean the educational shows) & therefore don’t own one. I’m not however, addicted to anything else & would prefer you aren’t either. I’m always looking for ways to grow & learn & so am usually enrolled in a class, some kind of training, personal development work, etc. You being well-educated, versatile & adventurous would be likely. You can count on me to be engaging, funny and to keep you on your toes. I’m very perceptive but I’m no mind reader so it’s important that you be someone who communicates honestly, clearly & often. I’m seeking a guy who is willing to own his humanity (the good, the bad & the ugly) & who wants to grow & learn throughout his lifetime. My Cancerian shell can be a bit soft at times, at other times I can be a bit too sharp & so I want to be with a man who is compassionate, bold & committed. If he is, he will get it all back in spades. I’d love a man who is tight with his family & is open to starting one of his own (with me that is) &/or sharing what he’s got. Someone with a backbone who isn't a bully;-woo; someone who loves sex but wants more in a relationship.Ultimately I'm looking for someone with whom I can build a life that is uniquely ours. I realize that these things don't happen overnight. Let's have a bit of fun & see where things go. You’ll walk away from a date with me feeling good about yourself. So if you’re intrigued & you’re not currently co-habitating with your (ex) wife or (ex) girlfriend, living with an untreated mental illness or planning on leaving the country in the near future, drop me a line.

    Beyond the shell...It is who I am on the inside that really matters anyways. I am smart and sweet. I am very strong on the inside and out. I heard a quote I agree with about vulnerability being the most accurate measure of courage. I value authenticity, genuineness and depth. I am authentic and genuine on the inside and out. I won't even wear gel nails cause they are fake. A friend of mine described it as being practically impossible for me not to be real cause it is not in my psychological make up. I wouldn't say it is impossible, but it is very difficult and it goes against the core of my being. She comes from the corporate world, so I am different from most people she encounters. I am very honest. I mean what I say and say what I mean. I often live in my heart and feelings. I feel things deeply and intuitively. I am a pretty open book and most people know where they stand with me. I think people who have nothing to hide, hide nothing. I am very loyal, tenacious and analytical. I often hear I look around 30. I think that is ironic cause I often feel older than 41 cause I believe I possess maturity, wisdom, depth have lots of life experience. I am probably most interested in someone slightly older if I was attracted to them. The likelihood of a spiritual, psychological and emotional attraction would be higher and when we are all old and ugly someday that will be what absolutely matters. I am attracted to a powerful, attractive, successful gentleman with some substance, values and morals. What am I looking for? I am looking for love. I am looking for my best friend who I can build an impenetrable bond based on love, commitment, trust, respect, friendship and passion. I am not for the faint hearted. I want to grow old together holding hands. I want a forever and ever love. Why is this so hard to find? I love nice suppers and movies.

    Man it's like kijiji on here. So much to weed through to get to the good stuff!Well let me open with this. I'm tall, 5'10". So, in all fairness you should know, that unless you're 6'1", and I mean really 6'1", I'm not interested. I like to wear my heels occasionally and being taller than my guy makes me uncomfortable. There, I said it. Anybody still reading this?Let me get to the fun stuff then. Here are a few things I'm pretty good at:1) playing the guitar. Scratch that, I suck. But I like to dabble and in my head, I sound awesome. 2) cooking. You like food? Perfect. 3) volleyballI. 4) helping people reach their fitness goals. I'm a personal trainer and boot camp *** I guess you could say I'm really good at yelling at people. (she jokes***being funny. See what I did there? I actually am pretty funny with a quick wit and sense of humor. If you can make me laugh, bonus points baby. 6) listening. I am that friend you can come to if you need to vent, complain or cry. 7) kayaking. Just discovered it this summer and whether it's a river or a lake, I love it. 8) cleaning bathrooms. Just wanted to see if you're reading every word or skimming over it. 9) spooning. Big or little, I'm your girl. Cuddling is highly underrated. 10)... let's kill this list already... kissing! If you are also a good kisser, I think we (our lips) should meet.I take care of myself inside and out and would expect that you do too. If you smoke, are trying to quit, or are in denial (lying) about your smoking, you're not for me. I like men who are fit, active and healthy. I love to watch and play sports which some guys think is pretty cool. I want to travel more in the next few years as there are still many places I haven't been. Live music is one of my fave things. Some concerts I've been to have filled my soul! I'm a warm weather kinda girl and spend as much time outside as possible in that 2 month window we call summer. I'm a mom of two amazing girls. We have lots of fun together and they are my favorite people in the world. My life is good, I'm blessed. Just looking to add a person to it and bring it up a notch. Having said that, I'd much rather be alone than be with the wrong person, for any length of time. I know who I am and what I want. Chemistry is of utmost importance for sure, but true compatibility, I believe, is where the magic happens.Gotta start somewhere though so don't be shy. Talk to me baby!
