It usually takes people a very short time realize that their first impression of me wasn't entirely accurate. I often here, "you seemed really nice and warm but I thought you might be reserved... Then you cracked your first joke and I knew I didn't have to follow all the rules of decorum around you!" Love and humor are like death and taxes; in my opinion you can count on both! So, I am those first two things and definitely learned how to be polite and respectful from my parents but I also have a pretty quick, if not perhaps quirky wit. I am a creative person, who loves the arts; museums and movies alike. Following my dreams and my heart has led me to so many wonderful experiences, like living in Cali and then moving for my current job. I'm very close to my family and have terrific friends. I am on Match because I am new to Philly but also simply because I haven't found the right "match". Sometimes you can be in a relationship but for reasons beyond anyone's control, it's just not right. I'm looking for someone who is passionate and excited about life, who is interested in taking the time to build a relationship and yes, I am looking for that spark!
