In Her Own Words
About her
I'm mostly a fairly quiet person - introverted if I'm being completely honest! - but I'm completely comfortable with that (more so than many around me apparently!) I love to have lengthy discussions with people with whom I'm comfortable and on topics I have an opinion about, but I've never been one for "small talk" - my brain just isn't wired for it somehow. I do love to laugh and I think there is no better feeling than moments of crazy humour with people who are on your wavelength.
I'm definitely not the archetypal female - I HATE shopping and phone calls, I am most comfortable with companiable silence, I'm not into girls' nights out or fashion. I can be feminine, sexy, sensual - but that's more about the person that I'm with rather than a state of being.
I've spent most of my young and adult life driving myself relentlessly and it is only in the last 2 years that I have learnt to be more kind to myself and my body. I’ve also largely lost the “black and white” view of youth and appreciate that most things fall into a shade of grey. I like the life I have created, but I'm aware that my happy self-sufficiency has become something of an unhealthy status quo. Increasingly, I miss the fulfilment of sharing moments with someone I value.
I spend a lot of my free time exercising and being physically active - running (always with my dog), cycling, walking/hiking (I’ve done some big climbs such as Mount Kinabalu, Mount Kilimanjaro, WWII Freedom Trails etc); as well as a military bootcamp several times a week. Exercise is a really key part of my existence and, through the ups and downs of life, has been both my sanity and my saviour.
I love travelling and have been lucky to visit many different countries (many on the back end of business). But not having a travelling partner is a constant frustration - friends are either in relationships, don’t want the activity trips I love or are on a different budget. I would really love to meet someone who can fill that gap, in whatever format it ends up taking.
About her ideal match
My ideal match would have to be someone who is in a similar sort of place in life and has much of the same key attitudes about life as me - I'm at a stage in life where I would want a relationship (at whatever level) to enhance my sense of peace and inner calm, not disrupt it.
So, I guess these would be my ideals:
Someone who wants me but doesn't need me
Someone who is fundamentally honest and thoughtful, and with enough self-confidence to allow space within the relationship.
Someone who is willing to take the time to actually know me and with whom I can just be myself
Above all, someone who is kind and empathetic - not just to me, but as a natural state of being.
And - of course - someone who has that X factor that makes my heart jump when I see him (can't pretend that bit isn't important too!)
