In Her Own Words
About Her
I have a bubbly personality, love communicating, and try to live my life through "a glass half full" metaphor. I truly believe that the energy and spirit we give out, is the energy and spirit we will receive.
I enjoy exercising, especially walking. I'm fortunate to live in an area where I am spoiled for choice re trails. I am a reader. I'm interested in all sorts of things, so have an eclectic collection of books.
Unfortunately, overseas trips are rare these days due to prohibitive exchange rates, but I love traveling and where there's a will.....
I also love a good road trip and would like to have someone special to explore and share adventures with.
I enjoy cooking and started painting again last year.
Architecture, art in all its forms, nature, wildlife, my pets and kids inspire me.
I've been on my own for a while and would enjoy sharing my life with someone special. I'm very comfortable living in my shoes and I like myself. I am not looking for my other half or someone to complete me, because I feel quite whole as I am.
I like the idea of two people belonging to each other, but with the absence of ownership.
About Her Ideal Match
I would like to find a man who is open-minded and positive, a man who is reasonably active, enjoys socializing, traveling, cooking, reading, communicating.
Clean teeth and personal hygeine aren't negotiable. Anything less is disrespectful to both of us.
A sense of humour is obligatory. The more wicked, the better! Life would be so much harder without fun and laughter. Compassion, empathy and kindness are strengths that I strive towards in myself, and highly appreciate in others. Someone who isn't threatened by my occasional need to be on my own.
I am looking for a man who is open to long-term commitment with everything that entails. He must be financially stable and be able to share life's joys and burdens with me.
