'ello!! I'm a hopeless romantic and a dreamer, and my knight in shining armor keeps on getting lost on his way to the castle, lol! I am creative, passionate, and unique...I doubt you've met anyone quite like me. It makes life a little lonely sometimes though too, because I feel like I'm so different from everyone else. But I'm an eternal optomist, and love being me! Who wants to be like everyone else anyway?

I love celtic music, and play fiddle and sing in a local celtic/folk band. I love performing, whether it's giving a tour at work, playing music, acting in a play, whatever. I'm kind of a shy person in real life, but once I'm on stage, somehow I'm completely comfortable. I also love going to live concerts, and whenever one of my favorite bands is in town, you can usually find me in the front row.

I find myself attracted to, well...for a lack of a better way to put it...scary-looking guys, lol! Long hair, tattoos, maybe even some piercings...they are all huge turn-ons for me. But I'm also completely straight-edge, and guys that look like that tend to be into at least drinking, if not some heavier stuff. I have of course dated guys that looked pretty normal too, but for whatever reason I am eternally drawn to the ones that look like they are in a metal band. I need a bad guy, who's really a sweetheart on the inside...does such a thing even exist?!

I need someone with some common interests, common values, that sorta thing. And though you don't have to look like a scary metal-head, lol, there still has to be an attraction factor there somewhere. I've tried dating some guys that I wasn't attracted to, and eventually it just doesn't work. Chemistry is SO important, physically AND mentally!

***So I've now been asked multiple times what I'm looking for in a guy, so here you go...the most important stuff!! PLEASE READ! Thanks :)

I'm looking for...
~Chemistry and Attraction. (Both on a mental and physical level)
~Chivalry and Romance. (I'm a sucker for the little things, and I don't want them to go away just because the relationship is no longer new)
~Someone who is there for me. (It's important that my guy cares enough about me that he want to talk to me and spend time with me. I'd like to hear from my significant other in some way at least every other day. It's also important to be supported in all that I do, to know that I always have someone in my corner.)
~To be with someone who understands me and knows me better than anyone else. (I truly want to be in love with my best friend)
~AND I look for guys that have morals and values. (I come from an old-fashioned family, my father is a police officer, and I'm a good girl, so that stuff is really important to me)

***ALSO!!! I have to add this now since I seem to be meeting a lot of very nice men with children on here...I am sorry, but I'm not interested in dating anyone with children. I love kids, and I definately want one or two of my own someday. But I dated a guy with a daughter about 3 years ago and decided I didn't want to do it again. She was wonderful, but it was very hard on her when her father and I broke up. I don't want to do that to anyone again should things not work out with any future guys. Thank you for understanding! :)

It may be cliche, but I still love dinner and a movie. I really, really, love going to the movies! So much so, that if there is a movie I want to see, and I have no one to go with, I will go by myself, haha! Dinner gives you a chance to talk and get to know one another face to face for awhile, then the movie lets you relax and takes the first-date pressure off a little too. It's the perfect combination.

A concert would also work well, but you'd need to have a chance to talk in a quieter environment first, and it would have to ideally be a band you both had an interest in, which is a little harder than picking a movie.

If the date is going well, and you still have time left to hang out, going to a coffee shop, or taking a walk so you can talk some more is nice. I'm the kind of person that if the date is going well, and I'm into the person, I don't want the night to end.

And end it all with a hug, and if the attraction is there, perhaps a sweet goodnight kiss...yes, I'm old-fashioned and romantic...sometimes if the attraction is off the charts, and the desire is there, I have done more to end a first date...but that is rare.
