I'm a woman who strives for balance: buzz around with activity one day, cozy at home the next. My weekends are often filled outside cycling, hiking, gardening, camping...but I'm content having urban adventures in the city all weekend too. My idea of a good day with my partner? Spend the day exhausting ourselves a bit with physical activity, head home to change for a party with mutual friends, cut loose for a little bit then crawl into one another for sleep, tired but invigorated by the fun evening. All of that being said, I love the country-side life and the breeze of fresh air all around me. I love to take my time when doing everything. I wanna see the people in the crowd, pet the passing dogs, enjoy my coffee slowly. The teeny, tiny moments are rich; I want to savor them. Growing up, relationships were of primary importance: my parents are best friends and I have always been close to them. Time with family is filled with laughter and thoughtful conversation, which is what I base many friendships on these days. I was raised to believe that being loving in a relationship is a daily choice, one we make repeatedly in simple and profound ways. To that end, the most romantic moments of my life have often involved sharing passionate exchanges with my loved one, bike repairs, sharing beers after a day of gardening in the sun, laughing at absurdity, sharing crossword puzzles, shopping the farmer's market, enjoying the quiet after a well-hosted dinner party, making dinner together for a movie at home; I look forward to meeting someone who's interested in creating similar experiences, starting with an honest and warm friendship. This on-line thing is just a way of making the initial introduction; the connections develop only after we've had time to know each other in our own way, then I want to see you. And at the risk of sounding like a pain in the ass, I just want to say that I like Men who can make a bold move, just say hello in a simple email.
