A little bit about me. I am 26, grew up in Lockport, moved to Dekalb in 2001 and jsut moved back this way June 2008, so I'm still relearning the area again. I graduated in 2005 with my BSBA in Marketing. I was in real estate for the last 6 years but unfortunately we all know how the ecomomy is now and needless to say I'm not doing that right now. I would one day love to get back into it, I had a true passion for what I did, it's not often you find a job you love so hopefully one day I will have that again. I enjoy spening time with my friends, relaxing watching movies, reading a good book, and I'm always up for something new and exciting... so let's go sky diving! lol I think when you first meet me, I am a litte shy but once I get to know you I open up quickly. I have 8 tattoos and plan to get more. I used to have piercings but then got a real job and had to take them out lol, so if you have tattoos... you put a smile on my face :) I am Italian and Polish, last year got to go to Italy and it was the most amazing once in a life time trip! I like to try to cook, but would love to meet someone that knows how to cook and can show me a thing or two.

What I am looking for... I am looking for someone who is honest, loyal, caring, affectionate, romantic, faithful, passionate, understanding, trustworthy, funny, confident, unique... and sooo much more! I am looking for someone who is ready to settle down and have a true long lasting, meaningful relationship. I am looking for someone who will be my best friend and companion. I believe a relationshp takes work from both sides and each person has to give each other all of them 100%. I want someone to laugh and be goofy with. I want someone who is going to be themself from beginning to end. I guess all in all I am just looking for someone to just be themself and honest. As that's all I can be, I have learned you can not change for anyone, you are who you are, you can grow and adapt but you can never change who you are. I am tired of playing games with guys, I want to find someone who wants to be in a committed relationship, I've been burned one too many times and want to find that one person who can possibly share my life with.

As far as a first date... Probably dinner and drinks... the whole movie thing on the first (or even second) date, I really don't get because you can't talk and get to know one another while watching a movie. So just something where we can talk and get to know each other works good for me... sweep me off my feet.
