I am going to be honest here - I just spent a good amount of time writing this spectacularly amazing, mind blowing "about me" section and Match ended my session and I lost it all. So I am just going to write enough now - and come back later when I don't want to strangle the site!
I asked my friend to describe me and she said, "smart, loyal, strong willed, caring person who plays as hard as she works... and has a strange affinity for Oh Boy! Oberto beef sticks". Hahaha! I thought, thank you friend, but I am not sure I want my desire for oily junk food as one of my top 10 descriptors :)
I realized in January that I wasn't happy in my "picture perfect" relationship, or my career. So I grew a pair and in that time period became single, quit my job, finished up my masters program and moved from Seattle to the Bay Area to start a new career. I want to explore the area and find all the funky fun things that it has to offer. I would love to find a sociable, up for anything guy to explore with me and show me a thing or two! I like to keep busy, almost to a flaw.
I am looking for someone who is confident, knows what they want, and comfortable in their own skin. It is so attractive when a man can make a date and suggest places I might want to go without having to have an 8 email exchange about what or where we are eating. I feel that with confidence, a man also tends to be supportive and flexible. Whether that is for an Irish pub one night for a snake-bit and a black-and-tan, then a swanky wine bar the next. Or if I want to start going to the shooting range instead of yoga...which is true, I am not that into yoga. A person who enjoys stimulating conversation and is open to other ideas and life philosophies - even if we don't agree - is the best! I like men that challenge me and don't mean getting challenged themselves ;) I want someone that in the long run will make me a better person.
I am new to online dating and not sure of the etiquette... email, message, or "wink" (what does that mean anyway??!) me!
