About Me

I'm on here because I just got out of a long relationship. I'm not yet entirely sold on the idea of online dating, but I'm not heavily into the bar scene, and most everyone I know is married. I am ready to meet someone more suitable for me. I work downtown and have very long days, with the commute and everything, but my weekends are mostly free. I also teach a painting class a few times a month. I also enjoy concerts, going to the movies, playing the piano, traveling to warm places (I love Vegas!), and finding interesting restaurants.My ideal match:-You're athletic (but I don't want to see pics of you flexing in the mirror at the gym. Nobody does)-You're tall / tallish / taller than me (I'm 5'9")-You're protective-You're brave (You stick up for me, but you don't start bar fights)-You're intelligent, well-read, you use proper grammar and punctuation-You're open-minded (especially when I bring out my ouija board. Ha.)-You're not clingy (but you're not a "player" either. I don't like serial daters)-You're nice to the wait staff at restaurants-You're nice to your parents (but you're not a "Momma's Boy")-You're a good father (if you have kids)-You're not obsessed with your phone (please don't constantly text in front of me)-You're a social drinker (NOT an alcoholic)-You have no other bad addictions, like drugs or gambling (although - see above - I do like Vegas)-You're strong-You're completely masculine (no feminine traits please. I don't want someone that follows me to the nail salon) -You're understanding, compassionate and kind (you would give money to a legitimate homeless person)--You're confident (not arrogant. Your friends aren't arrogant either)-You agree that there must be physical attraction, but that only gets you so far (it really is "what's inside" that counts in the long run)--You like animals (I have one cat, and you better be nice to him. I will be observing your interactions with him, and taking notes)-You're not in love with someone else (like your ex, or perhaps a co-worker or neighbor or other female (or male) acquaintance) -You're employed (You have a grown-up job, and you don't live with your parents)-You're optimistic (I need it, especially when I tend to go the opposite way)-You're passionate (not perverted)-You have my back at all times (because I will ALWAYS have yours)You'll get Extra Credit for the following:-You're like 50 years old-You love white Christmas trees-You live in the Chicagoland area-You're mechanical (I'm terrified of being stranded on the side of the road. My dad won't be around forever)-You're a good cook (because I'm terrible at it)-You're a movie and / or music buff (I love the 80's and 90's)-You're not overly religious-You let me read your palm-You're organized (I love those people with neat closets and drawers)-You don't have a crazy ex, or any kind of stalkers (you'd be surprised at the things I've experienced. I'm lucky to be alive)-You eat relatively healthy-You're creative-You're entertaining-You would run any miscellaneous errands with me, late at night, because I don't want to go out by myself in the dark-You'd sit still and let me sketch your portrait-You're interesting-You're sexy-You're rareSerious inquiries only

    Looking for a good man that has a good personality.... Someone I can develop a friendship with and will consider me one of their priorities and not just an option. I love to laugh so a great sense of humor goes a long way....as I have a good sense of humor. I look for honesty and loyalty as I am an honest and loyal woman. Somewhere public and casual to talk and get to know each other...second date could be dancing!!

    According to meetville, if I want to be successful, I should try this:1. My hobbies include exploring the outdoors including concerts, hiking, and paddleboarding. I also practice yoga and enjoy exploring new parts of the city.2. Goals and aspirations - this would be something for us to discuss on our first date!3. Everyone's unique and everyone's similar. Getting to know each other means we get to see where we overlap and where/if differences can be complementary.4. I still listen to hair metal. I just got a car and it came with a year of SiriusXM - HairNation is making me re-live my youth! I also listen to current pop. I know it's not OK to not like country in TX, so I'm trying. As a genre, I'm still not on board, but there are a few songs I like. :)Here's some more:I do research for a living so I read a lot. And edit. A. Lot. So textspeak (e.g., ru a fn gurrrl) even when texting, drives me nuts. It's probably my biggest pet peeve. I moved here from DC recently, but I've also lived in IN (grad school), VA (more grad school), and CA (my home state).- great weather, outdoor activities, and a constant influx of people from all walks of life who are looking for an adventure (and barbecue!). While the guy didn't last, the city left a lasting impression. I doubt I need another cross-country event to surpass that one, but something original that includes both of our interests is always a great place to start.

    .Miss the fun in my life meaning enjoying memorable times with someone. To be honest I know what I like when I see it and will make the effort to get to know you. Effort is everything. Don't be discouraged if I don't reply to a message, not to sound mean but if there isn't an attraction in my eyes I won't respond and that is to not waste your time nor mine. I say what I mean and mean what I say. Simple.
