City Girl Who Softens by the Water

I grew up in the Bronx and moved to Stamford for work six years ago, and honestly the quiet still throws me off sometimes. I'm 34, work in HR for an insurance company, and I'm the friend everyone calls when their life is falling apart. I'm good in a crisis and terrible at asking for help — working on that. I want to meet a guy who notices things, you know? Someone who remembers what I said last week and brings it up unprompted. The Bartlett Arboretum is where I go when I need to think, and I'd love company next time. I can be intense but I'm also really loyal to the people I let in. Give me a reason to trust you.
