I'm a shy girl at first, but I do definitely warm up once I get to know someone. I am much more likely to give my phone number and wait for them to call, rather than make the first move myself. It's not out of laziness, I just am not into head games, and I would rather be able to tell right away if a guy is just not interested. I am somewhat of a homebody, but won't turn down opportunities to go out and have fun. I am not trying to hurry up and get hitched, and I take a while to open up and become comfortable with a man. While it may seem shallow, money is important to me, but not necessarily someone else's money--I want to make my own, so that I have stability. I am not going to pay your bills or lend you money constantly, because I would not ask for that for myself unless I were in dire need. I laugh as much as I can, utilize my creativity as much as I can, and try hard to see the good in situations and people. Of course, we all have our bad days and stress, but I have no desire to waste much time on sadness when you only get one life.
My Ideal Person
Manners, intelligence, knowing when it's appropriate to be funny and when to be serious, someone who has their own goals in mind, slight chivalry without being oversensitive, a great sense of humor is cliche but I still want it, someone who will not be afraid to make a move and be direct with how they feel, someone who is not interested in mind games (because honestly, I'm not THAT hard to get and I'm not going to flip out crying if you're not interested in me). Someone who would rather talk in person than over the phone, who will only call when he wants to and not because he said he's going to at a certain time (that leaves room for disappointment). Someone who is his own person.

Tell us about your personal style and why it works for you. Casual and comfy? Sharp and professional?: Right now I am mostly just a student, so casual and comfy with a little bit of trendiness fits my life for sure. If I were working in an office setting, I would dress more professionally, at least while at work. For now I value comfort a lot, and dress up when I want to.
