Hi... I swore I'd never go online for a man! If it's fate, it'll happen I've always said, but hey, what the heck. I've seen a lot, done a lot and have learnt many hard lessons in my life. I feel I am at a point where I know who I am and what I want in my life. I don't believe in the fairytale and am not expecting to be swept off my feet. I would love to have someone in my life who truly hears me, who can still be an individual entity whilst in a relationship and has nothing to prove. I consider compassion, honesty and integrity the most important of character traits. I love quirky, individual people even though I consider myself relatively conservative in many aspects, I'm also a bit of a paradox. I love to read and am an avid filmgoer just no chick flicks or romcoms please! I love keeping fit and active and am a fitness instructor and personal trainer. I also enjoy staying at home in my own little world with my 12 year old daughter who is the love of my life.
