In Her Own Words
About her
My friends would say I am a good listener, am caring, can be funny and serious, and enjoy companionship. I am also determined when I have a goal, not to give up.
I like art, music, films, being outdoors, walking, talking, swimming, reading, cooking and audiobooks. I love snorkelling on holiday. I'm mostly vegetarian.
Right now I go to a community choir, and a life drawing class; both I am very rusty at but persevering!
To relax I love meeting up with friends, having a social drink and chat, or walk and talk; also for a night in love a good series on Netflix.
My outlook on life, is to try and make it better for others and look after the environment, and also to look after myself and fulfil my dreams.
About her ideal match
Someone who loves a good conversation. To me talking and listening is essential to closeness, and I would hope for us both to feel comfortable sharing the mundanities and excitements of life. I think communication is a key to make a relationship work, oh and attraction of course! I think we all need space and quietness at times, but would like to be able to achieve this without being rejecting of the other person.
I'd like to share any of the things I am doing, if you wished too, and also am happy to try new things if you have things you would like to share I have never done before. As long as it doesn't involve great heights.....
I wouldn't like to be with someone who goes away a lot, and polyamourousness is not for me.
The one thing missing in my life is a close relationship, and I'm looking for the long term. I know this can take time so I am happy to make new friends along the way.
