I feel like goldi-locks and the three bears - keep testing things and they are either "too hot" or "too cold" and really what I am looking for is "just right". Now the trick is, just right for me.

I am a straight forward, happy, independant, career-oriented, complex individual. I have a ton of friends and family - there is room for a special person but I have enough friends thanks - I love my work, my life, my house, my family. I have enough life experience to know what I want, enough to keep me real and not quite enough to stop me doing silly things now and again!

Internet dating doesn't turn my crank. I swim POF cause I am bored, trying to make a half - assed effort at meeting new people but to be perfectly honest I find it trying. For the record, every person who I have met on POF has been pretty darn great, I think that says a lot of us as a collective Ottawa population.

But that being said, please do not contact me if you are recently divorced or are less than 6 months seperated from your wife, if you haven't slept with anyone (after your seperation) besides your wife of many years or god forbid, if you are still living with your wife and going "through it". I am definately not the girl for you. I can completely appreciate your process and encourage you to go through it. Been there, done that. Beyond that. Don't need a project, don't need anymore friends, I am sure you are an amazing person, we are just in completely different spaces.

Actually, I am looking to date someone that would be relationship material. Emotionally available. Yes! What a concept. Not in a rush. Quite happy to date for awhile but definately looking for that hand holding, ice cream eating, laughing, hanging out with each other, and each others friends, kids, dogs whatever make up it may be, together. Sleeping in on Sundays and counting on each other. I have everything else in my life. I have room for someone important, I am willing to make room for the right person (that is the catch, the right person for me). I am willing to make an effort (my efforts are good ones you know - tasty food, happy girl, teasing eyes, lots of space provided (and required).

Anyway, I will periodically check this out, continue my happy little life, go out and have fun with my gal pals etc.. happy fishing.

Talk on the phone, meet in person. I don't want to waste your time or mine. Going for a cup of coffee or a drink to see if we have something more in common that what our emails have determined. 6Ft height minimum please.
