Date women from Canada / Ontario / Don Mills, 26 year old

Date someone special from Don Mills, Canada. Let me start by saying I absolutely hate describing myself. I always feel as though I contradict myself whenever I do this. Or describe myself as something (accidentally), which turns out that I'm not. And through my previous online dating site experiences, a lot of people do this.
I'm a unique recipe of a whole buncha stuff. Some of the main ingredients include sarcastic. I'm a bit of a joker. A witty joker, not a jester type. I consider myself intelligent, but I do have my ditzy moments.
I'm rather shy. It's something I'm trying to work on which is partially a reason for this account. Breaking outta my comfort zone.
I prefer the role of listening over talking. Being small spoon over big spoon.
I'm really torn about this online dating thing. At first I was STRONGLY against it. I thought of it as a joke. I have a more positive outlook of it now. It can be quite difficult to meet people, regardless of the way you look. And even when you do meet people, I find that it's difficult to meet someone genuine.
I strongly believe in chemistry. Chemistry can't be forced, it's either there or it isn't. Two elements (people) can have a rather volatile reaction when combined, or form a strong stable bond, or simply be non-reactive with one another. Really I'm looking for someone I get along with, and just click with. The thing that I feel like I have the most difficulty finding, is someone who gets me. I mean really gets me.
So now if after reading that you dare to still message me, good on you! I await.

Meet a girl from Don Mills, Canada. About me:
- I am straight forward, reliable and compassionate. I mean what I say and I say what I mean. I wear my heart on my sleeve in relationships. I am a romantic at heart, although as many of us are, can be cynical as well.
- I am very close with my family and see them often.
- Currently I am in school full-time completing my Masters of Social Work. Hope to work in child welfare and have a private practice one day.
- I have a dog, Tessa, and am a big animal lover.
- I have had the opportunity to travel (France, Greece, Germany, Italy, East of Canada, West of Canada, parts of the States) and have a huge list of places I still want to go.
- I have a thing for art, antiques and design. I happily will go to flea markets, furniture stores, antiques stores and art galleries and be like a kid in a candy store.
- I like to bake and cook. I love food. It's bad.
- I am a social drinker, and to be honest do not drink a lot. Although when I do drink, a scotch, bourbon or whiskey are my top choices. (My male friends say not to tell this to men as apparently it's a turn off)
- I like singing (I go all out in my car and the shower), music of all kinds, theatre and movies.
- If you want to know more - please message me.
About You:
I am looking for someone who is honest, family oriented, reliable, straight-forward, confident, funny and smart. Someone who is not only my partner in crime, but my best friend. Someone who likes to go out and be adventurous as much as they like staying in and watch movie marathons curled up on the couch under a pile of blankets. I am looking for someone who is open to commitment and to love. Someone who I feel comfortable letting go and being myself around; which can include bursting out into song, dancing in a store, or laughing for no particular reason. I am hoping to meet someone that I can grow with, someone I can experience adventures with, act silly around, and become a better person with. Chemistry is obviously important - however I think that requires actually getting together.
Side note: I do not smoke, and probably will not date you if you smoke. One here and there when you are drinking fine... but a regular smoker, sorry. If I do not message you back, I am sorry - I am just not interested and I wish you the best of luck. If you message me saying something vulgar, or just with the words "hi" or "whats up" - I probably may not respond. Creativity is key. Make me smile, make me laugh.

Date single girl from Don Mills, Canada. Hmm...me in a nutshell: I'm fun and I love spontanaeity. I'm always up for an adventure (as long as it's not life-threatening!). I love to laugh but also value quiet time and intelligent conversation. I try to travel as often as possible because I love exploring new places and seeing the world. I love big cities! New York, Barcelona, London, and Jerusalem are a few of my favorite places so far. I'm a little quirky, sometimes I'm the only one that laughs at my jokes, but life's too short not to crack yourself up as often as possible! I'm ambitious and motivated, and like to surround myself with others that have similar drive.
I work in corporate event planning and have a degree in Marketing and Communications. I absolutely adore my job and it often takes up a huge part of my life. So, here I am, experimenting with a new way of meeting people! I've got a great group of friends and I like to always be out experiencing new things, so I'm usually very busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
If I had a type I would tell you all about it, but when it comes down to it, all I ask is that you have something intelligent to say without taking yourself too seriously. If we can share a laugh, then the whole awkward online thing is worth it. I like to consider myself a pretty positive person, and I'll take any opportunity I can to smile!
I think that's a sufficient introduction...and I've run out of silly little things to say about myself :)

Meet a soulmate from Don Mills, Canada. I'm a pretty down to earth person. I have a good head on my shoulders, strong morals and opinions, and a drive to succeed in whatever I do. At that point in my life where my career, family and close friends are extremely important to me and come first. I am loyal to a fault, honest to the point where I hurt feelings sometimes (I'm working on that..), and would essentially bend over backwards for anyone I think is worth it. I'm social and love being around people, but also love being alone (I'm an only child so I'm used to it). I'm intelligent, well spoken, creative and really silly if you get to know me well. I am out a lot because of my job, but I really love just kicking back and relaxing on my days off!
I love hot yoga (I intend on getting my yoga license in the future), fine wine (I am also thinking about going back to school and studying wine), watching sports (specifically Football and Soccer), cottaging, hitting the beach, good cardio work outs, fashion and traveling. If I wasn't in the food&bev industry I'd be a party planner. I am extremely organized, a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to work, and I throw one hell of a party. I do that for my company now, but more corporate events - I'd ideally love to do weddings. This year I'd like to learn how to cook, and I'm going sky diving in May which I am quite excited about.
I'm looking for a man, not a boy. Someone that has their head on straight and goals to achieve. I love guys that are confident, kind, intelligent and FUNNY!!! (but any of those traits overdone can be a turn off .. it's a fine line). If this is you, feel free to message me. :)
