In Her Own Words
About her
Why should people get to know me? Why not? Ha! I'm the worst when it comes to meeting people and I hate this kind of self-reflection and putting myself 'out there' (expression makes me cringe a little). I'm a bit of a loner and homebody. I do have friends; I'm not a freak, just a bit of a wallflower especially when it comes to finding a partner. I'd like to find someone to do the things with that I like to do: all those clichés: long walks on the beach (best: at dusk watching a sunset or anytime in the rain). Preferably there are not a lot of people around. Live in the city and would love to leave for the country (romantic notions of country life abound in my imagination).
About her ideal match
My ideal match: I just meet you in grocery store or in a coffee shop and it's not a difficult process: we're just compatible and we understand each other and we just decide to be together - nice and easy......no complicated dating sites.
With that said: My ideal match is a bit like me. You're not overly social yourself and you don't want an overly social partner (hence the reason you've not met anyone in a grocery store or coffee shop). You're looking for someone to go to the farmers' markets with but you'll also drive for an hour+ to get the best blueberries in the valley. You are responsible and reliable and you take other people into consideration when making a decision like whether to compost or not (yes, you compost and recycle, maybe you have a car but you car-share and cycle). You're a good cook (because I'm only an adequate cook); you don't need to bake because I love baking. Being alone is not a problem, you actually prefer it sometimes, but you have decided that it would be nice to not be the 3rd or 5th wheel when you go out with friends. And, like me, you've decided it's time to find someone to make plans with and not just follow along with others who have made their own plans and you're along for the ride (as fun as it may be).
