Worth the Drive From Wherever You Are

I'm 36, Polish-American, born in Bridgeport, and I make a pierogi that's been known to make grown men emotional. I run the kitchen at a small restaurant in Stratford and my schedule is the opposite of normal — my days off are Monday and Tuesday, which is terrible for dating but great for avoiding crowds. I want someone who's flexible, who doesn't need a Saturday night to feel special. A Monday afternoon walk through Jennings Beach when there's no one there? That's my kind of romance. I'm strong-willed, I come from a family of strong-willed women, and I need a man who finds that attractive rather than threatening. Feed me well and I'm yours.
