In Her Own Words
About her
Intelligent, well-read, reasonably content lady dipping a cautious toe into the world of online dating. Applications are invited from suitors able to convince me this isn't a mistake. I have great relationships with my family but am without a significant friend with whom to spend time and pursue shared activities and interests.
You should get to know me because I think I'm good company and you won't know what you're missing if you don't. I'm energetic and lively with a love of reading, theatre, sport - I play table tennis and do Pilates - gardening, walking/hiking, birds and sunshine.
I'm still working in the education sector but have lots of free time to enjoy the best this world can offer. It would be nice to share some of those delights with a like-minded guy.
I have some strong political views and love a good, heated debate as much as a silly joke. I've no time for racist or homophobic opinions or people who spend their entire life glued to a phone screen and I despise social media rants. I'm compassionate and generous and try to walk lightly on the earth. I enjoy relaxing but hate laziness. I loathe cruelty in all forms, loud, aggressive voices; selfishness and reality TV. Not to mention misplaced apostrophes! :))
About her ideal match
I would like to find someone well-educated who still retains a youthful spirit and some optimism about life and the world. You'll be well-read and well-informed - able to fill in some blanks in my cultural knowledge, in return for which, I'll resist correcting your spelling! You'll be interesting and interested in a wide range of subjects and activities with a non-judgmental and respectful view of the world. You'll have a good sense of humour, honesty, integrity and compassion. You must be a non-smoker and preferably clean-shaven. We don't have to meet in every aspect but it would be nice to share an appreciation of theatre, books, nature and sport.
