Who knew it could be this difficult to find “the one”? Here I am starting my second 6 month session! I have been on lots of first dates, some second dates, and a few third dates so far. No crazies (knock on wood) but no definitive match either. I’ll be honest; it has taken me a while to get the hang of it. Last time I was playing the field I was 19 years-old! So don’t think of me as a veteran, but a girl who may have finally hit her stride. lol Either way, this eternal optimist has yet to throw in the towel.
My friends would like you to know I am funny and silly, intelligent, friendly and thoughtful, and loyal and trustworthy. Oh, and damn sexy. I adore my friends. :) I would add that I am a straight shooter; I don’t play games and I don’t invite drama. I am a naturally positive person who is very happy with my life as is, but I know having someone to share it with would make life that much sweeter. When I do start a long-term relationship, I plan to put in the time, energy and creativity to grow a strong, healthy, lasting love. I have a very tight knit family and some amazing besties that support me and keep me grounded. Most importantly, I know who I am and what I want in life. Isn’t that really half the battle?
I spend a lot of time with family and friends. I take advantage of activities and events in the area. Downtown farmer’s market in the summer and now the NewBo City Market here in CR are two things I love. I also love to be outdoors. Camping, hiking, biking, etc. are my go-to summer activities. This winter I want to try cross-county skiing if we get any snow. I am training over the winter to prep for a series of mud runs I intend to dominate this summer with some of my girlfriends. I plan to change body type on this profile to “athletic and toned” before the end of this 6 months, but please note I am not slender and I never will be slender.
I am looking for someone with a sense of adventure, who likes to have fun, try new things, be silly, and laugh a lot. A sense of humor is an absolute must, as is a positive attitude. A romantic streak is a definite plus. I know I want someone who will challenge me intellectually, call me out on my BS, and motivate me to become the person I want to be. I hope to find someone who takes care of themselves, stays active, loves the outdoors, and will consider my daughter a bonus and not baggage.
Ultimately, I am looking for “the one”, as elusive as he may be. But I also want to do it right. No forcing it to happen, no rushing, and no compromising on the important things. This eternal optimist isn’t giving up yet!
