It is important for me that a man strives for development and that we can move toward common goals together. I want to feel cozy with him, to have easy communication and relationships, and to always have something to talk about. For this, he should be educated, intelligent, and understand where, what, and how it is appropriate to say or do something. I do not accept aggression or cruelty. A man should understand that a thing is just a thing, and if something breaks or gets damaged, it is not a reason for aggression. His attitude toward alcohol and other habits is also important. I am interested in a man who takes care of his health and understands that his lifestyle affects both of us. It is important that he can separate work from relationships, participate in my life, take responsibility, and help solve important issues. His attitude toward family says a lot to me. If he has children, it is important how he communicates with them, as well as what kind of relationship he has with his ex-wife. For me, it is essential that previous relationships are truly finished — not only physically, but also emotionally. It is important to me how a man speaks about other women and men. Financial literacy is important: he should not be greedy with his family, but also not wasteful — there should be a healthy balance. I believe a man should be more financially stable than a woman and, in any difficult situation, be able to gather himself and find a solution. I value a sense of humor, a desire to travel, energy for life and relationships, and a man who wants to live, explore, and develop. He should know how to treat a woman: offer his hand, open the door, protect her, and hug her at the right moment. He should be able not only to listen, but to truly hear. It is important for me that a man can find common ground and shared interests with me and my sons, so that there is a feeling of togetherness. Neatness is also important to me: a pleasant smell, hygiene, clean shoes, and well-kept teeth. I want him to have eyes I want to look into and a beautiful smile. It is important for me to discover something new together with a man: go dancing, paint a picture, play a game, visit the theatre or an exhibition. I want him to be supportive and to respect my interests and my opinion.
I consider myself a very loyal person. If you asked me whether I would like to have a friend like myself, I would say yes, very much. At the same time, I can be quick-tempered and have quite a dominant character. It is important for me that everything is done on time and with quality. I am very punctual myself, used to finishing what I start and doing everything 100%. I would rather not do something at all than do it badly. If someone hurts me, my attitude toward that person changes greatly. And if someone lies to me, I can end the relationship with that person forever. I am honest myself, so this is very important to me. I am direct and always stand for justice.
In relationships, respect, openness, trust, interest, support, and the ability to talk to each other are essential for me.
I have two sons. My older son is 18 and studies logistics at college. He dreams of going to China or Japan. He is a very interesting conversationalist and knows so much — at home I call him a “walking encyclopedia,” because whatever topic we start discussing, he can talk about it for hours. Now he wants to try working as a guide, and I think this is truly his element. My younger son is 9. We have a very warm relationship. He goes to school and is fond of football. We love going out for ice cream together or simply spending time one-on-one. I believe my relationship with my children is very close, but it does not prevent me from building my own life. My sons are very friendly and kind.
When you want to make the person next to you feel happy.
Openness, trust, and the ability to talk. If feelings have changed and a person wants to leave, it is important to say it honestly and separate like adults, rather than doing something behind the other person’s back and creating a reason for a breakup.
I really want to go to the seaside, buy a car, and open my own relaxation studio.
To be happy, it is important for me to be myself, to feel fulfilled by my interests and feelings, and not to betray myself. It is important for me to travel, have a life plan, know my goals, be healthy, and have my loved ones close and healthy. It is also important for me to be able to live in the “here and now.”
The most important principle for me is to remain human in any situation.
Over the years, the meaning of friendship has changed for me. Friends are important, but everyone has their own place in my life. I am very selective in friendship and do not let everyone get too close. Personal boundaries are important to me in communication. At the same time, I deeply respect and value those who have been with me through the years. I have friends I have known almost since birth, and I consider this a great treasure. In friendship, I am very devoted, but it is important for me to see reciprocity. If a person does not want to communicate, I do not impose myself. I feel people well: if I see insincerity, the relationship can only remain superficial.
An intuitive feeling that you are not being deceived.
Lately, I have become very passionate about traveling. I enjoy discovering new countries, cities, and cultures. Unfortunately, I do not feel well during flights, so I mostly choose ground transportation. I do not like extreme holidays. I enjoy taking beautiful photos, shooting videos, editing clips, and blogging. I used to love drawing and embroidery, and now I would like to return to these hobbies. I also love organizing things and creating something with my own hands: decor, bouquets, paintings, or something special for a birthday. I love learning new things, so I often attend seminars and trainings, mostly in psychology.
I do home exercises and dream of learning how to play golf.
