A man who is fulfilled in his work (whatever it may be), mature, capable of making decisions and taking responsibility. Someone who is ready to listen to me and give advice when needed (I offer the same in return). A man who has his own interests and is willing to share them, but does not impose them. Someone who values me, my time, my professional achievements, and my passions. I would love him to become my “partner in crime” — someone I can go to a rave with and also start a business together. With a good sense of humor (a must), and preferably an interest in art (but not essential).
It’s a difficult question. I asked a friend to describe me, and she said: energetic, confident, communicative, open to exploring the world, quite straightforward, attentive to details, and sincere. From myself, I would add that I am sensitive (even if I don’t always show it). I don’t wake up too early if I don’t have morning meetings. I walk my dog, grab coffee and a pastry somewhere outside, and go to work. In the evening, I usually have dance classes or meetings, then another walk with my dog and sleep. Before bed — a book or a movie. On weekends, I try to go to exhibitions or travel outside the city. On Sundays, I usually do yoga in the first half of the day.
The ability to rely on each other, to be partners, to be honest with one another, and to support each other through challenges.
I don’t have children yet, but I would really love to have them. In general, I truly love children and have a great connection with them.
Caring for the person you share your life with, whom you have chosen as your partner, and being ready for shared risks and shared responsibility.
Faithfulness for me is the ability to be honest and to tell the truth even in difficult situations.
To have a child within the next few years.
To be admired, but also respected and valued. It is also important for me to respect my man and see him as someone I can look up to.
Consistency, responsibility, and freedom.
Friends play a huge role in my life. I have a few close friends without whom I can’t imagine my life. It’s about support, shared time, and shared joy.
The ability to keep your word, to listen and truly hear.
I truly love contemporary art and theater, and I try not to miss interesting exhibitions in Kyiv and new theater productions. I adore dancing — it’s an important part of me where I express myself both as a woman and as a person. I love books, and lately I’ve been reading modern Ukrainian literature.
I practice yoga in a group at least once a week. I have also been dancing tango for about two years — three times a week. Before that, I danced lindy hop for five years (an American social dance to jazz music).
