Gerso, 44

Because it appeals to my rebellious side (among other reasons) My name is Geraldine and I am 29 years old. I come across as lively and outgoing but underneath that I can be shy. I am very honest and empathic. I care about people and enjoy getting to know them better.

My faith is very important to me and has sustained me through many difficult times in my life.I have friends with all different beliefs and values but would like to meet someone who shares mine. My faith is the core of who I am and comes first in my life. I would like to meet someone who sees their faith in the same way.

I work with children with additional support needs. (used to work in an autism unit but have moved to a mainstream secondary) This work is very challenging yet also very rewarding. I enjoy singing, listening to music, reading and socialising. I also enjoy concerts, trips to the theatre/opera/cinema. I am also extremely adventurous and enjoy meeting new people, trying new things and having new experiences.

I come from a big family and we are all very close. Family is extremely important to me. I live away from home but make sure I see my family once every couple of months or so.

I would like to meet someone between the ages of 30 and 40 with similar interests and values, who likes to have a laugh and who is open to to getting married and having kids.
