***Taking a break from here. I'll still get email notifications if you really feel like sending me a message. Good luck!***

I’m an introverted extrovert (quiet but outgoing) who’s caring, sweet and down to earth. I have several piercings and a half sleeve which will be turning into a 3/4 sleeve at some point in the near future and more tattoos are a possibility. You don't have to have any body art but you should like mine 'cause they’re kinda permanent! ;)

Like a lot of people I enjoy a wide range of music from Rockabilly, funky breaks and Indie to classical and opera. I like to go see live shows (Elliott Brood was an awesome!) and while I’m more of a pub person I do still like to get out and dance every once and a while. I'd love to learn to Swing Dance if anyone would be up for it.

My friends and I tend to be on the sarcastic side and I enjoy just hanging out with them whatever we're up to. I'm very easy going and the glass is always half full, not much phases me (I rarely fight with anyone). I have two cats that I'm allergic to but I love them anyway and while I've never had a dog I definitely like them.

I love to read and consider myself a fairly creative person with many art related hobbies. I work mostly with pastels at the moment, but I have used acrylics, water colour and oils. I'll be learning stained glass from my Granddad in the next couple of months and I'd love to get into glass blowing.

I like to get out on my vintage bicycle (1942 CCM Rambler) and cruise around with friends. I play beach volleyball and dodge ball in a recreational league with a group of great people as well. I haven’t gone out in a while but I do enjoy camping. I’m not a huge fan of hiking but I like white water rafting and I’d like to learn how to kayak and snowboard. I'd love to do more sky diving, get out to the coast to learn to surf better (attempt to stay standing longer haha) and zip lines have always looked fun!

I’m trying to improve my fitness (have a healthier lifestyle), I’ll be honest I’m not a stick, so I like to get out and run stairs or head to the gym for spin class or yoga. Ideally someone who eats healthy and won’t be a bad influence is a bonus.

My last vacation was to Sunset Beach on Oahu where a group of friends and I had a blast snorkeling, surfing and skydiving. It looks like the next vacation will be to Jamaica early next year with the same group. There are so many countries to explore and not enough time or money!

I’d like to find someone to date long term but I also don’t want to rush anything. I’m looking the basics I think everyone is, great sense of humor, attractive to me, loyal, kind, loving and honest etc. I have a thing for light eyes/dark hair and tall men but they aren’t requirements.

Smoking sucks :) so I might make an exception to occasional or quitting but not for regular smokers, sorry.

I prefer to meet people in person and not email forever, I also don't do a lot of msn chatting. It’s easier to tell attraction face to face than via computer. So something quick like a drink or coffee, while kind of boring, is a good opportunity to determine initial compatibility and a second date can be a bit more fun and creative. I'll give up a secret...I'm great on first dates but I get incredibly nervous on a second for some reason. So hopefully you'll see through the nerves for a third ;)

If I’m not interested I apologize in advance as I may not reply. Photos are a must for me. You get to see me, so I’d like to see you!

Coffee/tea, drinks, dessert, mini golf & Sushi, lunch, dinner. Something causal, suggestions are welcome!

Nothing too serious or involved the first time around, that way either person can escape if it's not going well.
