| | The level of difficulty in this task is tremendous - how to describe myself while remaining annonymous.
I'm a young, attractive, and independent woman fairly new to NE Iowa. I am well educated and considering pursuing it further in the future. With this, it implies that I have some degree of stability in my life, which I do have. I believe that when you no longer need someone to fulfill your life, that is when you are most able to enter into a fulfilling relationship. And this is where I am - I am content with where I have been, where I am now, and where I am going as a person. With that being said - I believe we all are seeking relationships that will enrich our lives, whether that be friendships or intimate relationships. I'm not certain of what, if anything, that I'm necessarily looking for here, or if it is merely my curiosity that brings me here.
I'm a fairly active person, when I'm able. I identify a difference between active and athletic - I will not be the MVP of the slow-pitch softball team, yet will have a great time playing the game. I find relaxing as equally important. I believe many of us rush through life trying to achieve and gain, only to miss the calm and simple enjoyments.
I thoroughly enjoy my career and can't imagine venturing away from my field. I have a fabulous 5 year old and a tremendous family that remains very close - family is of the utmost importance to me. They are amazingly fun and supportive, yet respect and encourage my individual life. Most of my friends are centered around metro areas (Des Moines, Minneapolis, Omaha), which makes times with friends more sporadic, yet no less important. I'm a large dog lover - you will rarely find me without my dog tagging closely behind.
I don't identify myself as high-maintenence - I can run up to the store without make up and can wear jeans a few times in between washings. I do take pride in my appearance and my home, believing it is reflective of my self-respect. I do believe all women should be treated very well, with a great deal of respect, and as if their happiness is of the utmost in importance when they are in an intimate relationship with a man. In return, I believe women need to treat man with the same. Being best friends is great - yet don't I don't want to be confused with a college dorm mate, and will likely be highly disappointed if I am treated as if I am.
I was raised to have a sense of humor and playfully banter - and I carry this with me today, so long as the banter is not offensive. Laughing at yourself (and others) keeps life in perspective. |
