Yonel
I am actually South African, but my boyfriend lives in Troy, NY. So we take turns to visit each other. I will be there this year for a couple of months and then I will be moving there permanently next year. I do not know anyone except him and his family and well it gets lonely. I need girl time! I love love love animals.

So I am just looking to make some new contacts, acquaintances, casual friends, best friends, best best friends, future bridesmaids etc. (I think you get the picture haha).

Very Important:
* I do not share in hate, discrimination or shaming other people.
* Yes, we will have controversial conversations and we might judge certain people but this will be in context.
* I am a plus-size girl, so I am very pro-body positivity movement.
* I approve allowing other people to just live how they wish.
* Because I am in a serious relationship, I would prefer someone who can respect that.

Most good (and bad) things you need to know about me:
# I am very easygoing (I think I am... I might not be, you let me know okay?)
# I would prefer someone socially independent, mature and drama-free. I have had too many drama queens and friends that knock on my door
crying every morning because not one of the three guys she's seeing simultaneously didn't text her a "good morning".
# I am not really much of a passionate person, meaning, I do not get obsessed with things (quite sad, I know).
# I do like to chill at home or have brunch, at the same time I enjoy to let loose every now and then. But all in moderation.
# I am very loyal and dedicated. I'm always there for my friends. I always have their backs.
# If you can give me 90% I will give you 180%. I believe in doing more for others than expecting from them.
# I am supportive, but honey, I ain't gonna lie to you (unless you ask me to).
# I need to warn you that I suffer from severe RBF (resting bitch face). I have trouble expressing emotions or experiencing them like most people
do. This does not mean I am rude or uninterested, it just means that you should not be offended by my loss of emotion.

Uhm, what else? (This is more stressful than dating!)

If you're my ride or die gal, well then you'll always have someone that run across town at midnight for the glue to fix your broken heel while you're waiting in the bathroom. You'll always have someone to creep on you through the window to make sure your blind date is not a psycho. I'll social-stalk anyone you want me to. I'll hold your hair when you had one too many mimosas. I will even sneak into your house at night to help you put on that two-man-job lingerie you wanted to surprise your bae with.

If you think we can enjoy each others company (and take bomb selfies to make people we went to school with jealous), then message me ASAP!
Anyone welcome :)
