Unthinkably good things can happen, even late in the game.- Under The Tuscan Sun

About Me

I am a risk taker. I am a lover. I am a strong woman. I am a kindred spirit. I am a lover of all things classically romantic (think Jane Austen). I am a fighter. I am a crier. I am emotional. I am a worrier. I am unexpected. I am a Christian. I am a fashion forward lady. I am a gold diva. I am hard to please. I am not easily surprised. I am a dreamer. I am deep. I am nothing compared to Him. I am a worshipper. I am adventurous. I am different. I am sarcastic. I am a thrill seeker. I am realistic. I am a perceiver. I am passionate. I am me.

My Interests

Going to new places, making people laugh, living unconventionally, listening to music that shakes the soul, and making my dreams reality.
Your Seduction Style: Prized Object
The seduction game you play is tried, true, and still effective: hard to get.
You know that the best seducers turn the tables - and get their crush to seduce them.
The one running has the power, and you're a challenge that is worth the chase.

You are a master of enticing and pulling back. Giving a little and taking some away.
You are controlled enough to know rewards come after a long seduction dance.
Even though you want to call, email, or say "I love you" first - you don't!

You're style is the perfect mix of hot and cold - so much so that you have many suitors.
Think Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's ... or any of those creepy guys from the Bachelor.
You're skilled at inspiring a chase. The real test is picking the person to slow down for. What Kind of Seducer Are You?

I'd like to meet:

Yeah, I'll take one that's 6'3, mid 20's to early 30's (yes I like em older...:)), servant's heart, eyes to kill, keeps me on my toes, financially secure, histerically funny, has witty remarks to match my humor, and preferably no baby mama drama.. And please, no grills. I am so over my thug phase. LOL.
Your Seduction Style: The Charismatic
You're beyond seductive, you're downright magnetic!
You life live and approach seduction on a grand scale.
You have an inner self confidence and energy that most people lack
It's these talents that make you seem extraordinary - and you truly are! What Is Your Seduction Style?

Your Element Is Water
A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious. That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep. Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily. You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others. You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves. You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful. What's Your Element?
