About Me

I'm still a little freaked out about the idea of online dating but I realize dating in general is difficult for me. I have been in a few long term relationships with people who were friends first but never had to try being set up on blind dates or the whole bar thing. Between work and spending time with my kids, I haven't had a lot of opportunity to meet new people so I'm going to try to stick this out a little bit longer. I have a great job as a manager but it is usually pretty demanding and to do the job well, I need to put in extra hours. The flexibility and loving what I do makes the extra stress worth it. I also have a part time job which I don't find stressful but I would describe as pretty mentally draining. Being a Social Worker with a forensic/psychiatric focus leads to a constant focus on boundaries and keeping a professional only relationship with people (which is another reason the whole online thing freaks me out - I've already seen coworkers, I'm afraid to see former clients). I feel that one of my strengths at work is that I am able to enjoy helping people who can be viewed by many as not deserving of help. So it's nice to have someone to vent to and be totally myself with outside of work. It's also nice to have someone to tell me to stop my whining and get over it when I'm overthinking things. I enjoy a sarcastic remark to make laugh at myself. I am a caretaker in so many areas of my life and think I do a decent job at managing all the chaos but I do realize that I need to exercise regularly and force myself to have a social life when I'm not with my kids so I can keep a level head and stay positive. I play on a volleyball team once a week now and I've been reconnecting with old friends I've seen less and less of over the years. I love day trips with the kids or with friends -;festival" that involves hanging out outside with some live music and food and I enjoy spending time with my extended family. I love to cook but will complain about cleaning so I admire a man with a little bit of OCD and the energy to work on projects around the house. I am really looking for someone who I love hanging out with and is accepting of everything that comes with kids and a busy schedule.

    Honestly I've never done internet dating before & I'm skeptical that anything will come of this- But I always said there's nothing I wouldn't try and I guess this qualifies as nothing. When it comes to dating guys, I'm picky which is one of the reasons why I'm single. With work, school, & everything else, I don't have much time for dating or talking to guys that I'm not really into- but if I find you attractive & funny- I just might make the time xXx I'm 33, which means most of my friends are boring & married with kids... Me? I did the whole "family" thing from the time I was ***with my daughter's father. Like most relationships, you either grow together or grow apart- we obviously split like Moses did the Red Sea. The experience helped me realize that the "family life" isn't all it's cracked up to be. Now I think I'm the only single 30-something woman that does NOT want to get married & have kids. ***, I'd rather find a (nice, funny, sexy, talented, successful) guy to kick around with and enjoy life. Right now I'm focused on my career. My daughter is in high school & our plan is to move after she graduates. I work full time as a recovery counselor for men getting out of prison and I'm also a personal trainer on the side. My career is my passion. I love my job & the clients that I work with. I believe everything happens for a reason & all the struggles I've been through were to make me stronger & put me on the path I am today, to help inspire others to do the same. Bad girl turned good=) When I'm not working or working out, I'm going to Rutgers full time for my masters degree- so I'm just busy 90% of the time. The other 10% is where 'dating' could fit in. Round 1: MessagingRound 2: FacetimeRound 3: First DateIf you happen to get to round 3, you'll figure it out.

    I've found that one of the best way's to get a sense of someone's personality, is by learning more about their everyday life and the activities that make them happy. So rather than describing myself with a lot of adjectives, I'll let my photos and my interests do the story telling...I am very passionate about art, the outdoors, food, and music. I come from a family of artists, myself included, and I seem to have an ongoing stream of projects in the works. I would have to say most of my talent lies within handmade jewelry and photography, however I like trying new things and have decided to attempt painting at some point when I can make more time for it.I grew up camping with my family and it's something I still enjoy very much. I also love kayaking, paddleboarding, and pretty much anything that gets me out on the water. I actually just purchased a stand up paddleboard, and plan to use it as much as I can before the summer comes to an end. I recently signed up for a premium spotify membership, and it has stopped me from compulsively downloading new music on itunes for the time being. My piggy bank is enjoying the break. ;) Live music is always fun too, however I prefer smaller, intimate venues where you can actually sit down and enjoy the show.I exercise regularly, lift weights, do pilates, and swim laps a couple of evenings per week at the local pool in the summer time. I live a fairly active lifestyle, however like most people, I enjoy my down time and definitely take it when needed.Last but certainly not least, FOOD. I love to cook and love to eat even more! I was recently described as a fat person trapped inside of a skinny person's body. And yes, I'm one of those annoying people that takes pictures of their plate and texts photos to fellow foodies. I look at food as a form of art and really enjoy trying new restaurants. There are so many places in Philly that I have yet to try and I'm very much looking forward to meeting someone who wants to eat their way through the city right along with me.What am I looking for? Ultimately, someone with a similar healthy and balanced lifestyle who shares my love of the outdoors. But I also believe complementary interests can be just as exciting. Someone that will expose me to new things is very attractive and hopefully you would be open-minded enough to learn and experience new things with me as well. With all that said, what it really boils down to is chemistry, and I'm learning this is something very difficult to determine through a computer screen. I think we all have a list of criteria or attributes we look for in a partner, but in the end if you don't have physical, emotional, and intellectual chemistry in person, the rest of the checklist is meaningless. I'm happy, self-sufficient and in no rush...I'm open to meeting new people and if that spark is there, then I think there is just a natural progression that occurs... Nothing too crazy or long for a first date. It's too much pressure and I don't like to be stuck in a situation that maybe neither one of us are comfortable being in. A drink and maybe lunch or dinner is fine with me. Save planning something more fun for a second date when we know there is chemistry and we are both interested in spending more time together...
