In Her Own Words
About her
Me: Genuine, vibrant, passionate and fun. Active, solvent, emotionally intelligent — and grounded enough to laugh at myself (and the absurdity of it all).
Looking for connection, romance, integrity and laughter.
You: Bright — in every sense 🙄. Motivated, kind, honest. Someone who wants to do/not do together. A bit irreverent, up for fun, and happy in your own skin.
Bonus points if you ski. Or can fake it convincingly over a glass of wine.
About her ideal match
It would be great to meet a chap with vaguely similar interests — though of course, we’re all more than a list of hobbies. That said, here’s a little heads-up on what I love (in no particular order):
Crunchies
Singing — badly.
Laughter.
A glass of wine with friends.
Open fires.
Kissing.
Holding hands.
Dancing.
People-watching.
Crunchies.
Sunshine.
Kindness.
A proper chat.
Hugs.
Honesty.
Spooning.
Christmas.
Good surprises.
Yorkshire Gold.
Baking and cooking (yes, they’re different).
Skiing.
Kissing.
Snow.
Great design.
Supporting and sharing.
Doing rather than watching.
And did I mention kissing?
