These are just a few of my favorite things - if you love them two, we’ll get along.

Hey! Just a few things first. Please be within 1.5 hour driving distance of Philadelphia. And have more to say than “Hi”

Soooo…the short version:

So I’m 34 and I live just outside Philly. I am an extroverted introvert, a plant lover, dog mom, artist with artist syndrome, book nerd, who occasionally plays WoW or LoL. I’m hell-bent on creating a homestead complete with a cottage, babbling brook, clucking chickens, a few will-o-wisps, and a buddha statue with pagoda by a koi pond. I'm a little bit Buddhist, little bit Green Witch, and little bit everything else.

The longer version:

I am emotionally mature, tenacious, honest to a fault, and comfortable with facing my faults or respectfully discussing disagreements. I’m interested less in materialism and more in experiences and building relationships. I gravitate away from negativity and those that are toxic and drama-magnets.

I value integrity, loyalty, kindness, courtesy, passion and learning. I’m a nature nerd and artist who loves animals and teaching people. Some of my interests include horticulture, leather working, jewelry design, stained glass, history, art, reading, investing, and travel.

I am mindful, spiritual, open minded, and a try-er of new things. I’m the type that gets her hands dirty, that likes to be doing and take action. But I’m as comfortable in dress as I am a well worn pair of gardening jeans.

I’m monogamous and put getting to know you and your interests and our shared chemistry above jumping in to bed right away. I’m definitely a romantic and like to be swept off my feet. Chivalry is one way to do it. Pull out her chair, open her door, walk next to the curb, send her flowers, that kind of thing. I’m also a cuddler who wants to feel safe in your arms. I’m a sap.

Physically I have lots of curves for you to love, and while I hope it is not a deal breaker, no harm nor foul if it is. I am strong and comfortable in my skin and with who I am. That said, where I (physically) am now is not where I’m going to stay.

I’m looking for a man as mature, capable, and emotionally available as I am, who shares my dreams, tenacity, values, world view, and priorities. I value humor, empathy, assertiveness, and a gentleman with a dark side. Someone who likes working with his hands building things and DIYing. Looking for someone local, single, monogamous, relationship-minded, and wants kids. Age range 30-45. If you’re interested, please be serious.

Bonus points if you read this far. Tell me by DMing me the word “mangoes” (my favorite fruit). Also I’m occasionally a bit slow to respond on here as I’m not attached to my phone so be patient with me please :-)
