I have always winced at the thought of online dating… but in the name of open-mindedness, "don't knock it til you try it". After being thoroughly disappointed in trashy nightlife, I have come to the conclusion that meeting people here might not be the worst idea. So, here goes…Despite being very busy, I make it a point to find the time for doing the things I like and spending the time with people who I care about. I like people who have brains, humor and wit, spunk, self-confidence (not narcissism), resilience, strength of character, a willingness to learn and be taught (humility), those who have been through some things (nice word) in life and pushed through it.A little about me...I’m an average woman with some imperfections, but with a strength of ten as well. I strive to live fearlessly and not to merely see life in black-and-white. I see the many grey areas around us and try to make sense of this wonderfully crazy world of ours. I'm adaptable, honest, transparent, don't hold grudges and enjoy times in the outdoors as much as I do the comforts of my home. And I'm not into fighting, sulking, cheating or clubbingWhat I desire...Someone normal; respectful, stable, transparent and consistent in thinking and behavior. Someone who has a curiosity about the world and a joyful passion for life, one who shows humor and integrity. Someone who's romantic, has a sense of humor, enjoys, wants and can travel. Tireless, imaginative, trusting, trustworthy and emotionally mature.
