OK so I don't like trying to write down what makes me so unique and different, and well, what makes me..... me. But here goes nothing, I'll try keep it short lol

I'm a down to earth girl, you are more likely to find me at home with family and friends over the weekend than out partying. Family is very important to me and that being said I do spend as much time as possible with my 1 year old nephew and 2 year old cousin. I'm a giver, almost always to the point that I will give up almost anything to help someone close to me, which is a good and bad thing lol. I have a passion for animals, and am currently owned by Gunther, my wiener dog, so you would have to at least be able to tolerate him. I think my friends would describe me as shy at first, but more outgoing once I get to know you, kind, caring, considerate,sarcastic, compassionate, passionate and unique.

I honestly don't care how much money you make, what car you drive etc etc, that is not important to me, what is important to me is that you have a sense of humour( can laught at/with me and yourself), are honest, family oriented, on time ( one of my biggest pet peeves lol), kind, caring, considerate, respectful and a gentleman ( in the old fashioned open the door for me kinda way)

In my spare time I can be found relaxing at home reading, watching tv or movies and just generally vegging out normally with the people in my life that I love. I do work out 4-6 days a week ( well at least I'm supposed to lol) and would like to do the Grouse Grind this year before I leave for my trip back home to South Africa in September. I tend to make small attainable goals for my near future rather than large unattainable ones. But I also do know what I want for my life ultimately and that does include finding my Mr Right, getting married and possibley having kids ( still undecided on that part, sometimes I think having a bunch of dogs might be easier lol)

OK, so think this is a lot longer than I intended it to be. If anything grabs your attention please feel free to contact me, I promise I don't bite ( unless asked lol) and I do respond to all my e-mails ( another pet peeve is when people don't even have the decency to respond to someone who has taken the time to write an e-mail, even if it is just to say they're not interested)

Ok so have to add an update to this, I am not interested in doing a long distance relationship, been there done that and promised myself never to do that again. I want to be able to see the person I'm dating whenever I want to, rather than having to arrange a trip to see each other.

I also don't mind if you have kids, whether you have them full or part time, I love kids and spending time with them.

And lastly, yes I do have a few tattoo's, so if that's not your thing, might as well move along to the next profile, don't plan on stopping getting them anytime soon

I think a first date should be something low key where you can actually talk and get to know more about the other person. So coffee, maybe dinner, a walk in a park somewhere ( not somewhere secluded, I don't know what kinda psycho the other person might be ;)) or anything else along those lines you can think of.
