Hello there

I know that I’ve been posting on and off for a few years now with little to no luck. Before you tell me I’m too picky… I don’t think I am. We all have different tastes and expectations from the other people and there is nothing wrong with that. And I did try numerous dating sites but it was just… sewage. Not saying men are garbage or anything but these places are just full of horrible people and scammers. I have heard my fair share of horror stories from men about women too.

Before I move onto trying to sell myself in the best way possible so that some poor soul decides to message me, please read below:

You: -a straight man -aged 29 - 48 -located in Europe, UK or US (time difference no more than 6h; unless you work nights) -must speak English (how else are we going to communicate) -child free (and wants to remain child free; if you’re undecided it won’t work, sorry) -monogamous -no preference when it comes to looks or height; although an impeccable personal hygiene is a must (you’d be surprised how many people don’t wash daily). -loyal, affectionate, funny, patient (a lot of it needed with me), caring, kind and understanding. And yes, I am capable of giving the same back). -in full time employment (if we’re long distance, how else are you going to fund your travels) -no addictions (that includes weed, the smell is shocking); occasional alcohol consumption is fine.

And to sum this up, I’m after a best friend and a partner in crime. A soulmate even. Someone to come into my life and not change it or even change me, just to continue with me leaving everything the way it is. Someone to fall in love with me and treat me like I’m their most precious possession. Someone to navigate through this so called life. Someone who is, like myself a flawed human being but bring the best in me. Don’t give up on me and I won’t give up on you.

I won’t respond to any messages along the lines of ‘hi’ ‘hru’. I will not budge on the age or location either (no matter how amazing and mature you think you are).

If your profile contains anything inappropriate, I won’t respond either.

I’d like to think that I made myself clear.

Just one more thing (I promise this is the last one !!!):

This is not to gain any sympathy nor a cry for help, this is more of a pre warning. A lot of people would get their hopes up about me and once things didn’t go as they wanted them to go, would then drop me like a sack of spuds. Please do not think of me any differently, i am still a capable person.

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the very young age, as well as severe anxiety (by an actual professional, none of that self diagnosis stuff). I do take medication for it but some days are worse than the others and so on. I’ve been on a waiting list now for ages and each time I enquiry about counselling I’m being turned down due to the high demand. I cannot afford to go privately and I am 2 years away from seeing someone, as we speak.

I also suffer from fibromyalgia (don’t ask me ‘wtf is this; just google it) in late 2019 after having all possible tests done to rule out any other problems. I have days when I’m extremely exhausted and in excruciating pain. I still go to work and still try to be function normally as much as possible. I’ve been prescribed all sorts of meds to deal with any pain but just like with the antidepressants, they don’t always work.

Without any further ado.

My name is Anita and I’m a 29yo Eastern European woman, living in the UK just outside of Bristol. I’ve been here for the last 17 years and I consider myself England my home. I’m not considering moving back at any point in my life (however I’ll move elsewhere for the right reasons and right person). I will share my exact location once we’re acquainted a bit more.

I’m 6ft tall (yes I am this tall and I’m aware that it’s way too tall for a woman) and. weight approx 13st or 200lbs (my weight keeps fluctuating a lot and no, I’m not looking for any tips to lose weight). I dye my hair red but it’s more like ginger these days. I have green eyes (they’re useless as I wear glasses) and I wear a lot of black eyeliner lol. I guess you could say I’m kinda emo/goth?

An extreme introvert since I was a young one (definitely not shy, in fact I can get a bit volatile when it comes to standing up for myself). I don’t need to get out of my shell, so none of that please. I like my own company as well as my loved ones; and leaving the house only for work and groceries suits me well.

I’m a vegetarian (not a deal breaker if you’re not; your choice is to eat meat and mine isn’t. Respect it and you shall receive the same back). I think it’s time for everyone live and let others live too.

Tea, coffee and snack addict! (I love herbal tea with no sugar or milk; coffee wise I like a good cap or a caramel macchiato as a treat. Snack wise anything goes really. Fruit, crisps, cake and sweets!)

Bookworm (I haven’t read in a long time, I love books I promise. Just haven’t had much time lately. I have a stack of them which is growing. I need to finally find some time and immerse myself in one of many crime novels I have).

Apolitical (now, I read the news everyday but I do not support any of the parties. They don’t care about you or me, sorry to break this to you).

Animal lover (I have 4 rescued cats two boys and two girls aged between 10-11 who are my absolute life. In total, my mum and I have rescued about 60 cats in the last 10 years. We found them safe and loving homes but for some of them unfortunately it was too late).

No addictions here (I don’t drink or smoke; although I like my vapes a lot).

In my spare time (whatever I get of it) I like to go for walks, listen to music and podcasts, nap, watch tv, chill with my mum and cats, go shopping and grab a coffee with my ma, visit my brother in London, over eat, over think and read books.

I don’t really have any hobbies.

I don’t game religiously but I do enjoy sims 4 (someone told me that isn’t gaming although I’d say it’s a computer game so clues in the name but what do I know, right?) I don’t watch anime either, tried once and couldn’t get into it.

As you can tell, I’m just a relatively unremarkable human being, trying to find her place in this world. And I’m happy about that, being in the limelight is the last thing I know.

With that being said, if you managed to get through my ramblings and they somewhat resonated with you, shoot me a message.

Message me with your name, age and location and what caught your eye about my post. Don’t have to send me your picture right away; I won’t send mine until I’m comfortable enough. To show that you have read, end your message with ‘toodlepip’.

I will respond as soon as I can but please note that there might be delays in messaging back due to well… life being life I suppose.

And if you didn’t like what you read… well then scroll along, no need to let me know about this in the comments or to message me to call me names. It’s nice to be nice.

Thank you for reading this and looking forward to seeing some messages. If not, best of luck in your search!!!
