I never believed in “selling” myself unless it’s for the purpose of an interview. My mother always says “Don’t concern yourself too much with what I say but, what I do”. Therefore, I’ve never been the greatest at describing myself. I prefer to allow an individual to form their own opinion of me oppose to me assisting them in forming their opinion. However, I’ll give it a try.
I'm described as funny, bubbly, honest and loyal. I am very straightforward. I don’t have a problem with articulating what’s on my mind. I know that my candor can be a bit much for some but, if you have the patience to truly get to know me, you will understand that my heart is pure and genuine. I don’t like to cook but, I've been told that I am very good at it. My parents are from Guyana (South America), which means that anyone lucky enough to have my cooking will enjoy the best of both worlds, Caribbean and American. How lucky would you be? Lol While, speaking about my parents, know that my family means EVERYTHING to me. I would go to the moon and back for them. I enjoy a good time but, I also know when to turn it down a notch. And, when I turn it down, it's nothing like appreciating a great dinner with [him] while listening to relaxing music with a glass of wine. Nonetheless, understand that I also love my space. I hate to feel smothered. I have been told that I can be a bit of an introvert at times. But again, that is just me enjoying “me time”.
What I want in a potential candidate? I’m not very picky in terms of what I am looking for. Nevertheless, we all have specific qualities that we prefer a potential candidate to retain. **These qualities listed will not be compromised**
- He has to be RESPECTFUL. I love a man that knows how to treat and speak to people in a whole as well as women.
- He has to be HONEST. I can’t stand a liar. I'm too easy going for that. GENUINE COMMUNICATION IS KEY! There is nothing wrong with disagreements or debates, just as long as the final destination contains a resolution. I hate to play the guessing game. Games as such are for children. Aside from that I need to know exactly what you want. I can’t please you based off of a lie and, I don’t feel respected when the latter is chosen.
- He has to be LOYAL. I am very loyal and need to know that my circle contains people that would have my back rain or shine the way that I would have theirs.
- He has to understand the act of RECIPROCITY. I recognize the whole concept that “Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus”, however, at the core we all want the same things. Men just differ from women at projecting their emotions and desires. Due to same, I want back what I put out. All relationships no matter the type are investments. Therefore, there are returns. If I show you unconditional love, I want that in return. RECIPROCITY!
- He has to be CONFIDENT. Again, I don’t have a problem with articulating what I think or feel. So you would never wonder what’s on my mind. Be confident in your position with me as well as who you are and what you stand for as a man. It’s nothing sexier to us as women.
- And lastly, he has to be PROTECTIVE. Listen, plainly spoken, I don’t care for a menace but, if I ever have to put another man in his place because my man couldn’t or was afraid to… -- no need to say more. Lol
Overall, I would love to meet someone that just wants to enjoy what life has to offer whether it be the as simple as the sway of the trees or depth of Niagra Falls. My views aren't superficial. I'm not sure if I will find my future husband on Match but, if it happens, WONDERFUL! Just understand that with the start of any relationship (platonic or not) you have to really work at building a TRUE friendship. Without that foundation, progression is almost non-existent.
I welcome all conversation so if you want to hear more, please reach out to me.
