Ilona, 35

I have noticed that I rarely remember exactly what people said, but I remember very clearly how I felt around them. There are conversations where every sentence is perfectly correct, yet ten minutes later there is nothing left inside you. And then someone says something completely ordinary, but you remember the moment for years. I think attention works like that too. It is not always about big gestures. Sometimes it is noticing that someone became quieter. Remembering a small detail from a conversation weeks ago. Understanding when a person wants advice and when she simply wants to be heard. I am naturally attentive to people, and perhaps that is why these little things matter to me. I notice them. At the same time, I don't expect anyone to read my mind. I would much rather say what I feel than create a complicated test that another person does not even know he is taking. Maybe this dating site will introduce me to a man who thinks in a similar way. I am open to love and a serious relationship, but I think both begin much earlier than people usually imagine. They begin in very small moments. In the way two people listen. In whether they notice each other. In whether a conversation feels like waiting for your turn to speak or actually wanting to know what is happening inside another person. Big feelings may come later. First, I want to be curious about someone and feel that he is genuinely curious about me too.Read more

Horseback riding. I love the special mix of freedom, trust and adrenaline it gives me.

I want to meet the man who will make me wonder how we managed not to meet sooner. And then see what we can build from there.
