How would you describe yourself?
I value intellect and a great sense of humor... I think that's the quickest way I can sum up my personality. I'm a high school English teacher so those are the two traits that usually get me through the day. I love the charge of lecturing on the literature and culture I'm passionate about, but also crack up when observing the awkwardness of 1000 teenagers trying their best to "re-invent cool" on a daily basis.
I'm an outgoing, educated, fun loving woman. I love hanging out with friends and enjoying great conversation over a pot of good coffee, an excellent glass of wine, or just a nice meal. I listen to all kinds of music and like to catch live performances around town as often as possible.
I love the joy and fulfillment that a loving and committed relationship can bring to life. I'm looking for a partner with whom I can share life's joys and challenges, passions and frustrations, adventures and achievements! I am driven to achieve professional, personal, and spiritual goals, and I desire partner who shares and values that drive. I love to cook and take joy in caring for those I love and creating a fun and inviting home for friends and family. Family is a huge joy in my life and I hope to one day have my own. Ultimately, I desire a union of like-minded, intentional, committed hearts and minds. Relationships can be one of the greatest gifts in life, but there's no question they can take a great deal of work, lol... I'm ready and willing to do that work :-) and I seek a partner who feels the same!
I enjoy travel and my traveling bug, has taken me throughout the US and over the ocean a few times throughout western Europe. I've met awesome people in the course of my travels and its expanded my world-view in amazing ways. I'm always looking for my next travel adventure.
I'm a huge ACC basketball fan. I can root for almost any team in the conference as long as they're not playing Wake Forest. I'm a Double Deacon so my blood runs black & gold. I also love Carolina beach music and I'm constantly searching for a good shag partner (that's the name of the dance for all you Yankees who just got a little too excited)!
I enjoy politics and make it a priority to stay informed about local and global issues. I love reading... Anything from a new novel or blog, to the back of a cereal box, but what can I say, I'm an English teacher... I've embraced my inner nerd.
I'm a recent workout convert and while its still not my favorite activity... I have discovered the buzz of workout endorphins and I have to admit its a nice way to de-stress and reconnect my mind with my body at the end of the day.
I am looking for
I enjoy people who exhibit a passion for their lives and interests, whatever they may be. So much of our time is controlled by the careers and social obligations we choose. If a guy can show enthusiasm and positivity about the things he's "required" to do, it makes me all the more excited about the passion he'll bring to the relationship he's "choosing" to engage in with me.
I want to meet someone who can see the joy in the simple things in life, but also has a desire to experience/indulge in the finer things occasionally. Someone I can communicate with openly and honestly. We don't always have to agree on everything we discuss, sometimes nothing's more exciting than some steamy debate, but I'm looking for a partner I can trust with my feelings and opinions and know they will be heard and respected. I think that people live their best lives when they know they have unwavering support from someone they care deeply about. I'd love to be that positive force for my partner. After work and other obligations its great to have someone to just relax with and enjoy the sweet, simple things in life with. There's nothing better than a hug, a kiss, or the chance to cuddle up and just talk about what's going on and I look forward to sharing that with someone special. I have a strong sense of personal motivation and responsibility and I'd like to be with a man who is also motivated to achieve both professional and personal goals.
I'm really attracted to confident, intelligent men who can trust and believe in their talents, but also know not to take themselves too seriously all the time. I value guys who can find the lighter side of life and laugh often. Life's too short to ignore the humor all around us. Sometimes its all you've got to get you through day.
