About Me
Well, I never really do like writing these things because it's so hard to strike that balance between avoiding cliches and avoiding sounding like a total self-involved nutbar. I'm not crazily optimistic going into this because I've had profiles on dating sites before and have even met a few people off of them and it hasn't yet gone too well, obviously. I'd like to blame the guys I've met for that, but it takes two to tango so I have to wonder if putting a profile up on here isn't just a waste of my own time but a potential waste of others' time too. This time I'm trying to be upfront to avoid past conflicts, though. I'm not looking to be a fling or to just have fun then call it quits. I'm really looking for someone to be with for a while and to really establish a relationship with. So if you're looking for a sexy girl to have a sexy time with for a sexy couple of months, you're in the wrong place.I'll admit up front that I'm a "stay in and cuddle" kind of girl. I'm much happier staying at home and reading a good book or watching a movie or trying out a new recipe than I am running around outside all day. I'm not a total shut in, but I'm also not athletic in any way and I'm not going to try to pretend otherwise. If you're the kind of guy who likes the occasional nice walk in the park, or through somewhere like the St Jacobs farmer's market, but is as happy or happier watching some movies, playing some video games, cuddling, seeing movies together, etc, then I think we'd have a chance. :) If you want a girl who can go skiing and play hockey with you this winter and play football and soccer and whatever else with you and the guys in the summer then I can tell you right now that we wouldn't work. I'm a pretty huge geek, and not in the put-on-for-show scene girl way where I'm actually a vapid little attention-seeker who spends 2 hours each morning styling my hair and applying 3 tonnes of makeup. I'm a geek in the "ask me about something geeky and I can probably hold up a conversation about it; strike on one of my fandoms and I probably won't shut up for 2 hours" sense. So, geeky boys are definitely preferred!Physically, I pretty much reflect my lifestyle I guess. I'm definitely not thin, sadly, especially since I love to cook and I'm regrettably good at it. I'm pretty curvy "in the right places" though, and tall enough that I like to think I'm still fairly proportionate. :) I dunno, I'll get some pics up soon so that you can be the judge. Whatever you think of me though, I'm fairly comfortable with who I am and what I look like. What I love in a guy is height! I'm pretty tall for a girl but don't like to tower over guys I'm in a relationship with, so the guys I like tend to be at least 6' tall. I've had trouble in the past connecting with guys who are much heavier than I am, but being the size that I am I'm not sure I'd be entirely comfortable with a very skinny or very fit guy either - I'd have to see! Average or a bit husky is my favourite kind of build for guys I've dated; someone who feels warm and soft and solid to cuddle with. Big hands = love, too, for hand-holding!I'm currently working as an administrative assistant (read: glorified secretary) at a housing co-; I graduated from college in ***with my hopeful little Library Technician diploma and promptly found out there really aren't library jobs to be had without adequate experience. I'm pretty happy at the co-op though, and it's been a good placeholder while I seek employment in the career I trained for. The pay isn't amazing but I'm frugal (and love you all the more if you are too) so I make it work.; my mom lives with me but in a funny twist she's the one renting a room from me while she gets back on her feet, not vice versa. She's pretty cool though and wouldn't get in the way if I had company over. Ideally, whoever I was seeing would be out on their own, not still at home... or would at least have had experience on living alone even if they'd wound up back at home. I've tried dating guys who've never left the nest and I just find I can't handle the inherent immaturity and lack of "real world" understanding I run into in those scenarios. It's nice to date someone who understands when I say I can't go out tonight because the rent is coming due and I'd rather have a roof over my head than a fun night or two! If you got through all that dithering nonsense, congrats! Hope to hear from you, I'm more than happy to talk about more and to hear about you in messages. :) Well I'm pretty boring in that I'd probably want to start with just meeting up for hot drinks at a a small coffee shop or restaurant. We'd meet, we'd chat, there'd be some awkward jokes and finally we'd relax a bit and the conversation would get going. If it went well though, which I really hope it would, maybe we could go for a walk after, explore the area where we'd met up and just chat and hold hands. I love exploring in curio/antique/thrift stores, so if you do too then we could have a great time doing something like that. If newer, shinier, unused things are your joy though, I'm just as happy in a Future Shop as I am in a Goodwill! But this would just be a wandering walk, so if window shopping wasn't what appealed to you I'd be open to just about whatever we wound up doing.; talk as we explored the various booths. It'd be a great chance to get to know each other and to get a peek into what sort of stuff appealed to each other, especially with the variety of stuff on display in all the different booths. :)I'd love to hear about your ideas for a first date, too!
