Happy to say that I’ve reached a point in my life (through trial and error!) where I can honestly say most pieces of my puzzle finally “fit”: I have a job that challenges me and provides me the means to enjoy the things I love- travel for one; a really solid group of friends who I have known for years- through many walks of life – who love and accept me for all of my pieces; a family that I wouldn’t trade for anything- who exposed me to what’s important in life and helped shape me into who I am today; an innate curiousity that lets me get beyond the status quo; a need to be creative, care-free and spontaneous as well as responsible, stable and fiercely loyal; the ability to laugh and find the humor in most situations; the desire to achieve the most I can out of life & am hoping to find a partner to figure it all out with, side-by-side. I love music, writing, dancing, succeeding, connecting, spinning, cooking, exploring, traveling, a dry sense of humor, a good movie, pretending to be a good photographer, run on sentences, sushi, spring, the beach, feeling content/confident/secure with the people in my life and having those close to me know that there is little I would not do for them.
In a nutshell, I know myself better today then I ever have before. I know what I have to give, and it truly is a lot if I find the right person. I know what I am looking for in return and more than likely, he won’t be found in the black hole known as the bar scene. That’s why I’m here. Took some interesting experiences to get here, but I’m glad I made it.
What I’m looking for? While being attractive is definitely important…you can’t fake chemistry….I want someone real, warm, with a good heart, who can appreciate a little teasing, plan a night out (or in!), has read a newspaper in the last week, and can take life in stride. Someone who understands that life isn't always perfect, but that if you can laugh at the chaos, communicate even if it's hard, and be on each other's side no matter what, then you have a real chance at making it work!
I value an intelligent, well-read guy, who has a quick wit, and is not arrogant or self absorbed. Someone who gets it. Someone who is comfortable and feels like home. I’m ready for something more than just a passing fling…someone who walks in the room and gives me butterflies, someone who I just can’t seem to get enough of.
Shouldn't be too much to ask for, right? :)
Look forward to hearing from you!
Lauren
