About Me

I am a curious person who gets enthusiastic about anything from cell biology to Shakespeare to weird ice cream flavors. By training I am a cultural scientist, a linguist (I speak English, French and Polish as well as German, my mother tongue) and a literary scholar. But I enjoy everything that teaches me about the things that go on around and within us - if you happen to know the popular science radio show "Radiolab" or the "TED talks"; that's very much what I love to relax to after a day of teaching at my university and producing some more pages of what is going to become my dissertation one day...I am a very good listener and interlocutor, because I can put myself into other people's shoes to give them advice or just comfort. I am generally optimistic and encourage others as much as possible. But I can be also quite direct too, especially with friends and family, because loyalty to me means that you sometimes have to tell people what they don't want to hear - and I accept the same honesty as far as I am concerned. Still, I am basically a harmony-seeking person who doesn't like to quarrel; yet I will speak frankly when something bothers me. With the people closest to me I can enjoy silence as much as laughter and talking. I love eating and cooking (not sure which one is more satisfying) and I frequently try out new recipes. I have a sweet tooth that is definitely stronger than me. But fortunately I also enjoy exercizing. Especially when I'm running I feel like leaving everything behind. I can lose myself in music and literature and I think that in a positive sense I don't have a taste in either, I just have moods. I cherish a classical piece of music (medieval, Baroque, Romantic, minimal) as much a fine crossover project, world music, progressive bluegrass (Bela Fleck) or just some good healthy pop beats. I consider this "hopeless tolerance" a good thing: beauty is where you find it - or where it finds you. I love to take pictures and to do creative writing, to travel and to meet new people (my personal highlight last year was a three-). I guess it's time now to talk about "what I'm looking for" with my profile. Maybe it's too simple, but for me it's really about having good conversations with you in the first place and letting things go the way they "want to", nice and easy. I am not disappointed if I don't find "the" one big love at once (to be honest, I don't believe in "the" big love). Let's start by getting to know each other and see what happens. If you like my rather "slow paced" approach, if you're open-minded, honest, positive and generous, don't wait to e-mail me. But please, do me a favor, don't just send a general "Want to meet you" message, I won't react to those. Rather start an actual converstation with me, tell me about yourself or ask me a question, I'd love to hear from you! Oh, and one more thing: For me, the message service here is more like an ***, so please don't be bothered if I don't get into chat-like messaging with you right away.Tschüss. Doing something active together like cooking, hiking, or going to a concert/museum etc.. Anything that lets us getting to know each other!

    Woman. 29 years old. Zodiac sign: Cancer.

    Looking for: man. In age: 26-36

    If you want to know about me, go ahead and message me. I will not respond to anyone who just says hi, hey, hello or other one liners. You gotta give me a little something to go on to make me want to write you back :)What I am looking for? I need a man in my life that is ready to take on a challenge...ME! I am quite the handful!! Aren't all ladies? I am looking for a long term relationship. Please only message me if you are serious! You need to be driven, hardworking, independent, respectful, romantic, patient, have a sense of humor, willing to try anything once, and be an all around good guy. lf our interests are similiar then what are we waiting for? I believe a first date is about fun and getting to know the person. I am a dinner and movie type of girl, but not for a first date. Plus I don't like the pressure of first sitting across from you at a dinner table trying to come up with topics to start the conversation. I prefer doing something fun and outgoing like going to a game or bowling with a break for a beer and conversation inbetween games!!

    I'm single with no kids, hope to have at least one. Im new to the online thing and wasnt finding any decent men so i let a patient talk me into trying this! I'm very laid back but can be very assertive in things I believe in. I love animals and love music. I'm girly but not to girly...I will get out there and work on my own car. I love just being around people I care about. I'm not picky the usual dinner thing is good to get to know someone..although something different is always nice
