Veronica, 23

I have noticed that I trust people who can laugh at themselves much faster than people who are trying very hard to look impressive. Maybe because I understand them. I can be serious when life requires it, but I have absolutely no desire to perform seriousness twenty four hours a day. Sometimes I say something and realize halfway through the sentence that my own argument is ridiculous. Sometimes I get very confident about a direction and discover five minutes later that I was walking the wrong way. My dignity has survived both. I think self irony makes life softer. You stop treating every awkward moment like a catastrophe. You can admit that you were wrong without feeling defeated. You can dance badly for thirty seconds before finding the rhythm. You can change your plans without turning it into a crisis. And you can be a grown woman while still occasionally doing something completely silly just because it makes you happy. That combination probably describes me better than a list of qualities ever could. I know when to be responsible, but I don't want responsibility to swallow the playful part of me. I like being curious. I like laughing loudly. I like having days when nothing important happens but somehow I still come home in a wonderful mood. Maybe that is also why I decided to try this dating site. I am not presenting a perfected version of myself to attract a man. I would much rather be recognizable as I really am. Because if love and a relationship eventually grow from something here, I would like them to begin with the real woman. Including the one who occasionally walks very confidently in the wrong direction.Read more

I have a hobby that makes it hard for anyone to convince me that music is merely background noise: I dance. For me, it is that rare moment when there is no need to explain, overthink, or control anything ,simply hearing the rhythm is enough. I also love fitness, long walks, and traveling. Perhaps all my interests share one common trait: I am not cut out for a sedentary lifestyle.

My goal is simple, yet significant: to meet a man with whom, even years later, our first meeting will still seem like one of the best decisions of my life.
