Good morning! -er, whatever time it happens to be when you read this.

I realize that everything starts with meeting and dating, which is why I'm not ruling out friendship. HOWEVER... I am at a point where I've got a lot of stuff already covered. Professional career is in order, personal life and friends are good... I'm just missing that one person who makes me want to come home and cook dinner for him. Or who wants to share in some adventures like traveling abroad on a pinch budget, or go camping up north. Or someone who just wants to be with me for the sake of me.

I'm the girl next door who always wanted the boy next door but never got the chance. I just moved back to London after 8 years in Toronto. I'm in a in a great job I really enjoy and now that I've got the professional moments sorted out, I'm looking for someone to share life's personal moments with.

I'm musically inclined (I'm a singer/songwriter). I have a gym membership and I use it because I'm trying to be healthy in a life-long sense. I'm not gym-crazy, but I do like the feeling of being in shape.

I am very family-oriented and since I don't live with my parents or anywhere near my sister, I love seeing them whenever we get together.

If you...
-enjoy dating and consider dinner, hand-holding, and a goodnight kiss a completely acceptable second date
-enjoy movies with the greats (Seth Rogen, Ryan Reynolds, Jason Segel, Paul Rudd)
-are passionate about your life and ambitions
-like to try new things in the kitchen (or in the bedroom... wherever)
-are independant (read: you don't live with your parents)
-have a talent for golf; mini or otherwise
-are spontaneous and think a movie on a Wednesday night is not out of the question
-enjoy and frequently orchestrate random humour
-are not above kicking back with an Irish chick an' a bucket o' beer on St Patty's
-are the type to let me have the remote now and again
Then you should message me! (go on... you know you want to!)

ADD: I'm a total sucker for a guy who plays the guitar, and don't ask me why but I think a few tattoos on a guy are hot. I have a few myself... just ask.

well the first "date" off of POF is never a date. It's a meeting. So, a great second date would be a casual dinner, or maybe an afternoon at a festival or market, a walk donwtown and maybe some pool accompanied by a few drinks. Whaddya say? Or we can fly on my private jet to Jamaica and make a weekend of it.
