Kellybean, 42

even free spirits need to settle down I'm tougher than I look. I can hold my own in conversation. I like to gently push those around me to think, try, and do new things. I want someone who will give me and my life a swift kick when I need it. I can be goofy, silly, cracking jokes one moment, or sitting having a beer and deep conversation. I take good care of myself because I know how important I am; I'm self-sufficient but realizing that relationships and love are just as integral to life as being able to take care of myself. I want someone that I'm fascinated with and is fascinated with me. I'm in my late (but still like to say 'mid' twenties), I work a lot, I like both my jobs more than I had hoped, I own my own place and have learned more than I cared to about home improvement. Reading, movies, cooking, shopping, writing are some of my hobbies. I want to open myself and mind to new experiences and vice versa...
Of course gotta add the basics, I'm loyal - I'm amazed that anyone can manage more than one relationship at a time because I don't have that much time, nor can I put up with that much drama. I'm honest as I honestly can be - I'm still living and learning about myself and what I want out of others and the world. I like to keep my life simple and uncomplicated - but I'm a woman, you know thats not always possible. I like getting dressed up for dinner, or for no reason at all.
Looking for someone that will be refreshingly straightforward & honest, with a sense of adventure & committment to getting all they can out of life. I'm affectionate & like someone that can be nurturing without overbearing.
