Very much the "girl next door"...Trying to put yourself into words can always be awkward... but other people say funny, sweet, intelligent, empathetic. I have been back in Buffalo almost three years. School keeps me busy, so I'm looking for a friend, and it would be great if that friendship eventually turned into something more. A normal woman... smart--not a Rhodes scholar... pretty--not a supermodel... I wouldn't say I like sports, but enjoy Sabres games and maybe one Bisons game a season, LOL... I cry easily, but I'm not mentally/ emotionally unstable... just because I ask questions about what you want out of life doesn't mean I'm planning ours together... family is important to me--I try to help my family with the things I'm good at... that takes up my time, sometimes a lot of it... I don't have kids... I have a cat, but only bc he takes less time than a dog--I'm not the crazy cat lady.

I love have to fun--to me, having fun is experiencing new things, going to the movies, cooking together, staying in and having a good conversation, going away for the weekend, volunteering, the last several months I have really started to enjoy going to the gym ... a lot of different things. I'm not high maintenance, but I do take pride in my appearance.

One complaint about this site is that you are forced to select, dating, friends, long term etc... I think each category can suggest incorrect assumptions. I'm just looking for an intelligent, compassionate friend who values communication and honesty in all of his relationships. Eventually, I want to be with a man who doesn't take himself too seriously, is responsible, and just wants to do life together--it's more fun when there is another person along for the ride.
