I am reading a new book, "The Traveler's Gift", and changing my profile accordingly. "I am a person of action. My future is immediate. I will grasp it with both hands and carry it with running feet." I like that.
About me--a professional adult who wants to walk through life with a partner. I have been in long term relationships, but never pulled the trigger and gotten married. Now, I live alone and have been perfectly happy, but I feel like I am happier overall and a better functioning human when I am connected to another person. Not just any person, I must feel a "connection" and "chemistry" (I love "The Bachelor", but watching these shows makes me put these terms in air quotes now), but I do not have a checklist of must-have traits for love. Except for smoking, I can't stand that, so okay "must be a non-smoker". My sister told me once that I am the least romantic person she knows. I don't think so really, just because I hated "The Notebook" doesn't make me un-romantic, right? I like to be romanced, genuinely, not because someone is trying to score points....maybe a little un-romantic....
I am pretty open-minded about activities, will try most anything once, love surprises and I am pretty easily amused. I love to travel and try new restaurants. Among my friends, I am the "Martha Stewart" who is always trying out new recipes for baked goods. These are usually successful and I love to have a guinea pig:) I like my work, but I am happiest with my animals and my friends--they calm me, except when they are running up and down the hall for no reason (the animals, not the friends). I am thankful for them.
And now, I am seeking someone with whom to share this life. Someone who wants to be a partner, who wants to go "all in" with me, because that's how I roll in relationships, there is no half way. Someone confident, passionate, intelligent, curious and open. So I guess I do have some "must-haves". I am ever hopeful that I will find that, maybe here...
