Trying to sum myself up to people who don't know me is always so difficult. Serious at times, goofy at others. Always an optimist, yet seen enough in life to view the world through very honest eyes. A sarcastic sense of humor, but never cruel. A fiercely independent women who has very traditional views of marriage and relationships. I love chivalry and traditional values and appreciate any man who still enjoys REAL dating and courtship. The type of man that I am usually drawn to..confident, outgoing, positive energy. Someone who loves to learn and who desires to constantly grow in life. Someone who loves the arts and is involved in his community and culture, because those are all very important to me. A family man who enjoys spending time with family, yet also cherishes *date night* with his partner. If this makes ANY sense to you, then you may actually understand the woman that I am.
