It is difficult to start something new and of course it is very difficult
to tell about yourself to be fully appreciated. I will start my story
with some statistics. My name is Irina.
I live in Chelyabinsk,
Russia. I am 33. My star sign is Gemini and I was born in a year of
Monkey, on 2 June in 1968. I am 174 cm tall and my weight is 65 kg.
I have higher education. I am a swimming coach. I used to be a national
champion. If I tried to described my life of that period, I would
need only two words: training and competitions.
As for my interests I like reading and traveling.
Doing sports I visited many cities in Russia and foreign countries.
Paris impressed me a lot. I think that any trip helps forget everyday
troubles and change the atmosphere.
There is a stereotype that a woman is softhearted,
impressionable and sensitive. My life experience and my job have influenced
my character, I am independent and resolute. I can support other people.
But if you take in consideration that I am a WOMAN, can I be satisfied
with myself? And I would like to be close to this stereotype. Now
my mother and my dog are the dearest creatures for me. I hope that
my family will grow large in the nearest future and I will have a
loved husband and kids.
I am proud to have a good sense of humor. I believe
that smiling is good for our souls and bodies. A smile can help cope
with troubles. Sometimes living is painful, but it is not the reason
for suicide. Life is beautiful. Of course, there are evil people,
but I am sure that if somebody has not proved that he is really bad,
you should not think bad of him.
I am not sure that I can describe a man of my dream.
You can fall in love with any man despite his appearance. And the
more you know a person the less important his appearance is. And his
inner world is more important, if he feels interesting, he will attract
any woman.
Attitude to love can change with the time. Life is
a night dream, but before you fall asleep try to get to know the person
by your side. Loving does not mean knowing. You should listen to your
heart, but you should not forget that your heart can deceive you.
My own experience proves this idea. A man courts you and your heart
melts. And Russian husbands often tell their wives after getting married:"Now it is your turn to court me and to take care of me".
I want love to encourage me, to give energy to live.
I realize that to love means to be ready to risk. Why? Because we
can lose the man we love. Then love asks you for your open heart and
that is a risk. And being in love we depend on the man. But I would
like to take this risk again. Two cinders can make strong flame. I
believe that love will come to my heart, I just have to open my soul
and to let it fall in love. Write me in English!
