About Me

Hello there! Okay, here's a little bit about myself...I am a Guidance Counselor in a public K-8 school. I love my job and wouldn't want to do anything else. To make this easier, I asked some friends to describe me and here are the results: fun-loving, sweet, adventurous, motivated, family oriented, considerate of other's feelings, and energetic. I am quick-to-smile and somewhat inquisitive! I enjoy all sorts of activities and will pretty much try anything once - I’ve gone sky diving, cliff diving and accomplished the knee-hang catch on a flying trapeze! I enjoy fine dining, traveling to tropical islands, rollerblading, roller coasters, hiking, some snow skiing, pistol shooting, obstacle/adventure running/races (i.e.: Tough Mudder 2x), and CrossFit for exercise! I am the type that loves getting dressed up and going to a nice restaurant one night and maybe camping out by a fire the next; I can suit the occasion and enjoy doing so. I spent a great deal of time in college and working hard. I own my own home and am financially independent. Ive had several (very) long term relationships (8 years, 7 years, and 6 years each) and although none of them developed into a life-long future, I feel that I am a better person because of them.I have fulfilled all of my academic and career goals and hope to meet a man who has done the same...hence, who is ready for a committed relationship. I am looking for someone who I can share myself with - someone who will be my love, as well as my best friend. I am finally ready to meet the man who I am meant to be with. Although I am not looking for a relationship that is only "convenient", I have tried the long-distance thing once or twice and have found it difficult. I do also understand that everyone is on their best behavior during the get-to-know-you stage...which is why I do not tend to jump into things. I will try to be as up-front as possible in this.Having said that, I prefer to meet sooner than later. As much as I appreciate good writing technique, as illustrated in *** &/or text messages, I would much rather meet early on to determine if there is a spark between us - which is absolutely necessary!! ;)

    I’ The youngest of four, my mother always said that I would be the only one to leave, and she was right. Thirteen years later I've never looked back except of course for holidays to visit my large extended family and to snowboard, because really…PA and WVA mountains really aren't mountains. To liven things up a bit in the last couple of years I have gone skydiving gone zip- You may have seen my Carnival cruise ship on the news recently (grrr): The Legend...we "missed" two ports but made it to Honduras and Cozumel in March.I try and schedule a few ***k’s throughout the year with a mudder thrown in here and there.’t plan to do again = Brutal! I play on a social co-ed softball team in the spring and summer months once a week and recently joined Ballston CrossFit and I absolutely love it! I made it to about 20 Nats games last year and enjoyed 2 playoff games before the worst defeat ever...grrr! I am ready to see a lot of Curly W's this year! Go Nats! Don’t judge, but I love to dance around to Miley and the Biebs from time to time, but to set things right in the world again I’ll switch it up to some Metallica/AC/DC/80’s faves Poison and Def Leppard!I have an amazing group of friends and enjoy spending time with them and tearing it up with my girls here and there dancing the night away to some local cover band in ARL. I also enjoy a simple chill day watching sitcom/movie marathons snuggled up on the couch under a mountain of blankets. I love going to the movies and it helps that a cine is right across the street from where I live. I enjoy thrillers, dramas, romantic comedies (c’mon I am a chick after all), and dry humor faves, ie: Old School, The Hangover, Ted, etc.I am a part-time Graduate Student as well and slowly but surely one day I plan to earn my MBA. I seem to be quite busy but I afford myself some downtime as well. I would enjoy meeting someone with similar interests and goals. Someone who is kind, honest, considerate and although I can certainly open my own door would like someone that doesn't think chivalry is dead. :)

    Hello... I have a pretty great life with fantastic friends, family and great job. What I am missing is someone to share this with. I enjoy traveling, going to movies, concerts, dropping in and seeing the latest exhibit at the art gallery, wandering around Whyte ave with a latte or going on a walk in our fabulous river valley. Care to join me?All of my pics are very recent. I think it goes without saying that I expect yours to be as well. I wish all POFers good luck it's rough out there!!! On a first date it would be great to grab a coffee or drink and see how things go. If there is chemistry, continue to hang out and get to know each other, if not, best wishes.
