Christy, 47 - Potchefstroom

I am caring and intelligent, enjoy stimulating intelligent conversation. A bit of a geek, love fantasy, science fiction, a good mystery. Always learning new things - currently busy with a degree in Anthropology and Linguistics. More spiritual than religious. Enjoy reading, good music, dark chocolate and a good cup of coffee. I like getting some quiet and alone time.
I am not a party girl! I like a nice restaurant, good food, entertaining at home, love cooking. Not the adventurous type - no extreme sports for me. I love horses, but don't get time to ride really. I enjoy the occasional weekend getaway. I don't mind camping, but I am not a fan of "roughing" it. Prefer country life to city life.
I am a bit unfit now, not against exercise and eating healthy. I am not perfect, don't spend hours in the gym and I am never going to. I'm a bit of a plain Jane. Putting on makeup is not part of my daily routine. I spend most of my time in jeans and sneakers.
If I agree with you, I will tell you, if I don't agree with you, I will also tell you.
I don't drink any alcohol, don't mind people drinking socially, but drunk people get stupid and that annoys me.
I do have ambitions, but my ambitions do not include working myself to death at an 8 to 5 job. Once I am finished with my degree, I am planning on pursuing a career in my field.

A guy (38 - 48)

I need somebody who can talk to me – sharing ideas, disagreeing about things, discussing various topics. Intelligent, not afraid to show his emotions, can handle my crazy. Ambition, education is important to me, wanting to better yourself. I can’t stand cruel people!
I am very picky, I know what I want and what I don’t want. I have good morals and values – being a good person in general is important. Be a gentleman – open the car door for me. I am not necessarily looking for something serious or a husband. A good and honest friend, if it develops into something more then so be it.
Don’t leave me guessing, I am not psychic! I can handle the truth. I can handle constructive criticism. Be supportive, be present, be caring and honest and true to yourself. Respect me and yourself. Someone who likes kids, I have a teenage daughter, not planning on having any more kids.
Must be able to do his own thing and allow me to do mine. I am not someone who can entertain you 24/7. I like having a routine and being organised and I can be a bit of a perfectionist. I don’t need a saviour or a hero, just someone to stand by me through the tough times and to enjoy the good times with me. Don’t be with me just because you don't want to be alone.
