In Her Own Words
About her
I'm kind and (I think!) funny. Ruled by my caring role for much too long, it's time to get my life back and start living it again. To be clear, some of my time and attention is still needed in supporting a bright young adult gradually finding their way to greater independence. I love University Challenge, poetry, literature, rare books, all kinds of music and odd, original, authentic things.
Not fanatical, but the environment matters to me and I try to care for it. I like cooking and am trying to learn more about gardening too. Nature helps to ground me in this crazy world.
My outlook is open and curious, seeking what's true and genuine wherever it can be found. I do try to leave the earth a better place than I found it, even in small ways. Decency, honesty, equality, tolerance and justice matter to me, as do hearing others, being heard, and allowing personal space as needed. Meanness, arrogance, self-pity, prejudice, paranoia and mind games aren't for me. Friendship and mutual respect is the best starting point, so perhaps a good friend is out there.
About her ideal match
Mature, empathetic and grounded, emotionally literate, a good communicator who's unafraid to stand up for the underdog (not the canine kind!... hopefully fonder of cats than of dogs). A generous, humane person with a strong sense of self. He won't need to pretend or impress others. Ready to put others ahead of himself when it really matters, able to take a lead when necessary, but also no pushover.
My perfect match is likely to be an independent thinker, not a crowd-follower, never a victim. Maybe liberal/left-leaning in values and outlook. Some similar interests, hopefully. Above all a keen and edgy sense of humour, just so much fun to be with. I'd miss this person when they weren't there, because I'd know they'd always have my back (as I would have theirs) in the tough as well as the good times.
Such paragons are very rare! - but they exist, so must be worth holding out for.
