I love to read, paint, design, sleep, watch TV-- I love films, photography, cooking, fantasy books, mysteries, to hang out with my friends and family, play board games, I love the art of making the perfect cup of tea, going to the mountains in the fall/winter. I may sound boring but I'm just a girl with simple intrests who can have a blast at a danceclub or bar but would be just as happy if not happier just curled up at home with someone doing nothing but watching old movies and vegging out.
I'd like to meet:
I'm still looking for my tall British prince charming to come along. I love the culture and everything about the British..(And the accent is a plus:))But first and formost I'm looking to be friends with someone first..I want a man I can have intelligent conversation with, actually be able to discuss books we're reading together and films we've seen. I'm not into games. I hate these people who completly lie about their likes/dislikes and intrests ect. - just to sound cooler or be more mainstream -to get somone to like them. I just want someone with some of the same intrests as me, and some new ones he could intoduce me to..How can you find that if you pretend to like things just because they are in fashion? I'm upfront and honest..and that might not be some people's cup of tea, but I just hate all the games and stratgey and sidestepping there seems to be in dating nowdays. I don't mean to sound harsh because I'm really not, I'm actually quite shy at first. I just want to find my true soulmate...Not "soulmate" in the overly used romantic way, but a true meeting of minds and personalities, Two people who inherently understand and accept each other just the way they are. I guess I'm just like Bridget Jones and Elizabeth Bennett...I want a Mr.Darcy of my own who wants me "Just the way I am."
