About Me

I am a curious person who gets enthusiastic about anything from cell biology to Shakespeare to weird ice cream flavors. By training I am a cultural scientist, a linguist (I speak English, French and Polish as well as German, my mother tongue) and a literary scholar. But I enjoy everything that teaches me about the things that go on around and within us - if you happen to know the popular science radio show "Radiolab" or the "TED talks"; that's very much what I love to relax to after a day of teaching at my university and producing some more pages of what is going to become my dissertation one day...I am a very good listener and interlocutor, because I can put myself into other people's shoes to give them advice or just comfort. I am generally optimistic and encourage others as much as possible. But I can be also quite direct too, especially with friends and family, because loyalty to me means that you sometimes have to tell people what they don't want to hear - and I accept the same honesty as far as I am concerned. Still, I am basically a harmony-seeking person who doesn't like to quarrel; yet I will speak frankly when something bothers me. With the people closest to me I can enjoy silence as much as laughter and talking. I love eating and cooking (not sure which one is more satisfying) and I frequently try out new recipes. I have a sweet tooth that is definitely stronger than me. But fortunately I also enjoy exercizing. Especially when I'm running I feel like leaving everything behind. I can lose myself in music and literature and I think that in a positive sense I don't have a taste in either, I just have moods. I cherish a classical piece of music (medieval, Baroque, Romantic, minimal) as much a fine crossover project, world music, progressive bluegrass (Bela Fleck) or just some good healthy pop beats. I consider this "hopeless tolerance" a good thing: beauty is where you find it - or where it finds you. I love to take pictures and to do creative writing, to travel and to meet new people (my personal highlight last year was a three-). I guess it's time now to talk about "what I'm looking for" with my profile. Maybe it's too simple, but for me it's really about having good conversations with you in the first place and letting things go the way they "want to", nice and easy. I am not disappointed if I don't find "the" one big love at once (to be honest, I don't believe in "the" big love). Let's start by getting to know each other and see what happens. If you like my rather "slow paced" approach, if you're open-minded, honest, positive and generous, don't wait to e-mail me. But please, do me a favor, don't just send a general "Want to meet you" message, I won't react to those. Rather start an actual converstation with me, tell me about yourself or ask me a question, I'd love to hear from you! Oh, and one more thing: For me, the message service here is more like an ***, so please don't be bothered if I don't get into chat-like messaging with you right away.Tschüss. Doing something active together like cooking, hiking, or going to a concert/museum etc.. Anything that lets us getting to know each other!

    First of all I am not looking for random hookups so if that is your intention you might as well move on and keep looking elsewhere. Also I try and take care of myself the best I can and I am by no means perfect but I do look for someone who cares about being healthy as much as I do. Call me superficial but I am just not attracted to heavyset men. I was raised in a Christian home with honest values and morals. I know where I stand with my faith and even though I may not be the "Christian" the church wants me to be, I know my beliefs and where my faith truly is. I like to spend time outside fishing, camping and hiking when the weather allows it and in the winter time I spend quite a bit of time on the basketball court coaching girls AAU. I really am a simple person who rolls with the punches and would like to find someone who accepts me for me. I am most comfortable in jeans and tshirts. I am not afraid to get a little dirt under my nails, but I can clean up well when the occasion calls for it. I guess if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask. I'm up for pretty much anything.

    Not sure what I am wanting to get out of this other then meeting some new people in my area. Just wanting to meet some good guys in my area that are fun to be around and I have a good time with that's the main goal I guess. I am not so good at describing me so it makes it kinda weird to write these things so sorry if its lame lol! I am moving to Mollala hopefully soon so anyone looking to have a good time out there hit me up!! :***last thing I want a man who goes and takes me somewhere other then just the bar scene. Its fun yes I like it but would rather not spend all my time there would rather have a few beers by a fire or river then sitting in a bar all the time.... Having a good time just going some where and having fun that could be anything, so I cant say what would be the best just as long as we get along and can talk actually get to know each other a little while having fun that is all that really matters to me!! Just throw something out there and we will see what happens. :)

    So I've tried this before and was disappointed but I'm always one to give things a second chance ;-time ER nurse with a specialty in psychiatric emergency medicine. I also make jewelry and sell it plus I tutor on the side. So I'm busy but not too busy to have fun or date. I love sports and basketball. I've played basketball since the age of four. Love high school and college basketball. Those were the years. I have my own home, own car, independent and a hard worker. Just looking for that someone to make me have those butterflies in my tummy. I have a cute little doggy. She's my baby. Well that's enough for right now. Now just ask yourself....how often you run across a 6'2" female that has it together? Lol. I'm not conceded. If you like what you read hit me up
