In Her Own Words
About Her
I have a gypsy soul. Love bright, bold colours. Wear hats and pashminas in winter. Soft spoken and kind but will passionately defend things that are important to me. I am creative, I love gardening and am at my happiest when I can make "something" out of "nothing" or upsycling.
I am a loyal recycler and have a huge social conscience. Intrigued by big and small visitors to my garden...whether they hop or crawl or fly 😉(except those pesky mozzies and blow flies of course!)
I speak Afrikaans when I am relaxing at home or doing what I love... being creative, gardening, painting and socializing with friends.
I am longing for companionship and conversations with a significant other again, being someone's priority and the person that he would want to come home to and prefer spending time with.
I enjoy entertaining at home and it will be great having a partner by my side, someone who will make sure that my glass is always half full.. : )
My home and garden is my sanctuary...where my gypsy soul and my animals finds peace and serenity, where I can live out my creativity.
I like the "great outdoors" too, but I am not an adrenaline junkie. There are more than enough such adventurous women on this site. I am just not one of them. I don't do it often enough, but I actually love camping- the simple way.
I realize that dating and getting to know people is a process, not without hiccups and also not up to me and I get impatient at times but I am looking forward to meeting someone to sit next to, by that fire...
About Her Ideal Match
When you get home, you will follow your nose to the kitchen to see what is cooking... and if I am not there, you will find me in the garden... You will greet me, pour us both a glass of wine and join me. Some days we will speak of things that happened during the day and other days we will just sit there for a while, soaking up the late afternoon sunrays.
Food ready, we will set the table and eat good food, drink good wine. Later, you will share your thoughts and your day with me and we will sit closer to that fire...
Blame my theatrical nature for the above but this may be become "our story"
If you are interested in the "male leading role", these are further requirements:
1. Intellect. But remember EQ is much more important than IQ!
2. Healthy body, mind and soul
3. Treating all people with respect, and dignity..those that work for you as well as the waitress or petrol attendant.
4. INTEGRITY/ emotional intelligence and maturity.
5. Confident, assertive and successful in WHATEVER you do but you know that materialism and preferring quality are not synonyms.
6. Faithful under all circumstances
7. I love it when the man in my life take action regarding small matters (deciding which movie/restaurant and make the necessary arrangements!) and not leave everything up to me. But he involves me in making more important decisions.
8. Able to show emotions and treat children and animals with love and respect. Example counts more than words.
9. Enjoys spending time with friends on occasion and allow me to do the same but also like spending time with me and our respective families.
10. Not threatened by strong, independent women and not attracted to clingy and needy women.
