I love to laugh and surround myself with people who have a great sense of humor. I’m the smart and sassy girl next door, fiercely loyal, and I try to treat others the way that I would want to be treated. I'm nice, but not a pushover. Independent, yet appreciate being taken care of, and believe that we all make time for the things and people that are important to us. I'm definitely a "relationship girl," and have no interest in casual encounters or serial dating. I am very comfortable with myself and can be just as content eating at the hottest new restaurant as I am eating burgers at a dive bar. I think that two people need to have a core set of values in common for a relationship to work, and everything else is negotiable. I prefer quality over quantity, optimism over pessimism, and I'll take sweet over salty any day of the week.
