Thanks for stopping by! I’ve been living in Columbus now for about 6 years. I originally moved down here for college from the Atlanta area and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Accounting in 2011. I know that most people will have made a face by this point, but come on, who doesn’t love numbers?? Ha! I now work full time as an accountant at a local CPA firm. I am currently working on a Master's Degree in Accountancy from Georgia Southern.

I have a very sarcastic sense of humor which falls in the category of “either you like it or you don’t.” I also own a cat, well he’s not like any cat I’ve ever known, but he is my little man, so if you don’t like cats…we’re probably not going to get along. I love dogs, I’m just not home enough to have one.

When it comes to a relationship, I believe in 50-50 relationships. I’m not going to put in all of the effort and I wouldn’t expect you to put in all of the effort. A relationship works because two people try. It’s not an 80-20 or 97-3! I also enjoy having someone around who can hold an intelligent conversation. Not being able to converse with someone makes it difficult. I’m looking for someone who has an idea of what they want to do with their life. I’ve never understood how people can float through life without any motivation or drive. I’ve worked hard to get where I’m at, and wouldn’t expect anything less from someone I’m dating.

In my spare time (seems rare these days...), I enjoy cooking, playing piano, and gardening (sounds old-fashioned, I know). I love being outdoors as long as there are not a lot of bugs...not a huge fan of mosquitoes (since they love me) or gnats...but I love stars! I also enjoy going to the park for a walk, run, or tennis.

I’m very independent and have noticed over the years that it may come off the wrong way. I pay my own bills and open my own doors, it’s nothing personal, I promise! I also enjoy sports…I went to my first baseball game last year and loved it.

keeping myself occupied and making people laugh (and laughing at myself...not that I talk to myself...but if I do...I don't answer....well sometimes)

I also happen to be good at piano and cooking, specifically baking.

The fact I spill things and fall...I'm clumsy. I am famously known for running into clothing racks and apologizing.

My sense of humor too...it's unique!

I'm also told my blue eyes and my hair.

everything. I have the hardest time shutting my brain off at night so I can get some sleep.

Out with friends or watching movies/TV

Well, just ask, I'm open.

you want to get to know me. I enjoy conversations that involve some intellect.

BUT...

Let me put a reminder on here...I do not date casually. If you just got out of a relationship, and are not planning on getting into a serious relationship, then please do not send me a message. It is a waste of my time and yours. If you feel you need to keep your options open and play the field...we do not need to get to know each other.

*Also...the most common reasons I will not respond to e-mails:*
-You cannot spell
-Your main picture is of you without a shirt (if that's how you have to capture someone's attention...bless your heart)
-You have casual sex listed under what you're looking for
-You're not listed as single
-You have dead creatures in your pictures (I am not a fan of hunting as a sport...or for anything really)
