I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


I would describe myself as a keen observer, exceptional listener & a natural exhorter with a playful personality. Family, friends and acquaintances often come to me for ideas of guidance across a range of issues.
I am extremely sensitive to other’s feelings and to their body language. I am patient, open and eager to listen to others. I am also not afraid of making or admitting to mistakes. I communicate needs and feelings honestly when someone engages me directly, and I take the initiative and be assertive when needed. I do not rush to judgment; rather I pay attention, listen without jumping to conclusions and then reflect on information before responding. I seek both to understand others and for others to understand me.
I respect family values, and I tend to enjoy the company of family-members and I’m open to living a domestic life. At this moment, I don’t have any children, but eventually, I would desire having a family sometime in the distant future. I occasionally enjoy cooking at home and entertaining guests, but I also like going to restaurants and parties.
I have a strong appreciation for beauty, both in art and nature. I am easily absorbed in music, photography, the stock market, health/nutrition and sports. I strive to achieve high levels of success through deliberate planning, persistence, and hard work. I have well defined ideas about where my life is headed and I am assertive and resourceful in meeting my goals. Therefore, I feel in control and able to take charge and go after what I want in life...
But... It’s ALL because of GOD. Without GOD, I am nothing. With GOD, I can overcome anything...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Someone who responds to the fact that I enjoy the reassurance of physical contact and emotional sharing, but who helps keeps dependency in check in the relationship so that we do not lose our identities as individuals and whose character is deserving of my loyalty and affection.

Someone who is eager to give, collect and discuss information with me patiently versus communicate with me on superficial levels out of convenience.

Someone who is energetic, enthusiastic and has high self-efficacy (strong self-esteem, sense of self and sense of accomplishment) like me and will support or even participate in my personal and professional interests that feed my sense of identity and accomplishment.

Someone who will join me in taking time to find a complete and genuine resolution to issues as opposed to avoiding conflict by settling for quick, temporary agreements.

Someone who believes that the best kind of love grows out of a strong friendship. I am a realist with a touch of hopeless romantic. I do value Romantic Love (Passionate, Emotional & Intense), but a relationship must have a strong dose of Companionate Love (Deep, affectionate attachment). I believe that differences can be overcome and lasting love can be sustained if the couple does the hard of work of consistently showing mutual understanding and accommodation. I believe soul mates are made, not born.

Someone who can express affection through tangible surprises – such as fun gifts she makes, souvenirs purchased on business trips or beautiful tokens or presents that show she remembers and celebrates special occasions.

Someone who can show affection in ways other than just physical contact – such as frequent tickles, constantly holding hands, public hugs and kisses or light touches as she passes by.

Someone who believes and acts on the belief that the intimacy of a relationship is sacred.

Someone who is not looking to be taken care of, but rather who is realistic about the hard work it takes to build and maintain a stable and satisfying relationship. Looking for a relationship to complement my life, not to fulfill or “complete” it.
