I’m a teacher, which means I can explain almost anything patiently… except why anyone would choose a complicated tasting menu when pelmeni exist.😄

My son is 26, already grown and building his own family, so these days I have the luxury of thinking a little more about myself. And I’m enjoying it: traveling, discovering new places, dressing up, laughing a lot, making spontaneous plans and saying yes more often when life offers something interesting.

I like a man who takes care of himself, has his own life and doesn’t need a woman to organize it for him. Humor is important too- I’m cheerful by nature, and living with someone who treats every little problem like a national emergency would be difficult for me. 😄

I want us to actually enjoy being together: tease each other, go somewhere on a whim, dress up for dinner, stay home when we feel like it, and occasionally disagree without spending the next three days proving who was right.
