Hi, I’m Katherine!
I live for time spent in the sun, slow mornings (and slow days for that matter) and deep conversations.
I’m 37, 5’9” and I was sent a dating website by a friend, loved the idea and wanted to make one myself. Meeting people these days feels like a minefield of uncertainty with a lack of authenticity in the online world.
I would love to meet my person “out in the wild” if you will…in the grocery store or in my local coffee shop, but so far that hasn’t happened yet. And honestly, online dating has never really been my thing, it just feels hard to really express who I am through a few questions and a couple photos…but this? This feels like a way to bridge the gap between the shallowness that often comes with the online world and sharing a little more of my depths.
I believe in showing up not just with all my strength, but in all my softness too, and I’m learning to walk the line between the desire to share my whole world with someone (because I love being known and knowing my person), and leaning into the slowness that allows for a relationship to naturally unfold in it’s own time and way.
So here’s a little glimpse into the life I’ve lived, the woman I am, and the hope I have for the future.
Fun facts
I'm an extroverted introvert. I love people, but definitely need my down time to recharge.
I love a good cozy morning in bed.
I'm not overly political and vote for people vs parties.
I love cars. Seriously don’t ask me my dream car, I have too many to count. Or do ask and I’ll talk your ear off :) And I wish I knew how to drive stick - it's one of those weird dreams of mine.
I'm a Star Wars girl through and through (and a LOTR, Fast & Furious, Marvel, Harry Potter girl).
I like all kinds of music, but country is my fav.
I’m opinionated and I also change my mind often…it keeps things interesting.
My best friend is a photographer and she creates absolute magic when she is behind the camera — no one else can capture me like this.
Things to know about me…
I grew up in a conservative evangelical christian family but left organized religion about 10 years ago.
I’ve been married before. And my deepest desire is to find a man who not only wants to grow himself, but also wants to grow alongside me.
I am child free. Through my past relationships I’ve learned this decision is so mutual and I know that I want a strong and enjoyable partnership. If that includes kids (whether because my partner already has kids or we decide to have kids together), I can’t wait. And if it doesn’t, I can’t wait for that either. To me there is beauty in both.
I’m a therapy girl. Not in a, you have to be in therapy all the time kind of way, but more seeing it like an oil change — it’s regular maintenance. I don’t want to wait until things are “falling apart” (in my life or in my relationships) to go to therapy. I believe having a neutral party can bring a perspective that you simply can’t see when you’re in the middle of whatever you’re going through.
I grew up in Charlotte, NC and always seem to end up coming back home no matter how many times I move away. I love the south, and though I am totally willing to live in other places, if I don't end up forever landing in Charlotte, being able to come home often is a must for me.
I started milling my own flour and making homemade bread over a year ago now. It is so therapeutic and I love it!
I took myself on a solo trip to the beach for my 37th birthday.
I am a VERY committed dog aunt. I’m her #2 and feel so lucky for it.
My parents, my brother, and I went on a two week Mediterranean cruise in October 2025, and yes, we still love each other, haha! It was my first European experience, but it definitely won’t be my last!
The man I’m drawn to…
Will bring out my softness. I’m a strong person and I can handle myself (aka I can lean towards hyper-independence because of my past relationship experiences), but my man will show me and remind me that I don’t have to do everything on my own anymore.
He’ll take the lead with gentle strength and confidence.
He’ll ask thoughtful and inquisitive questions because he wants to really know who I am, just like I want to know him.
He’ll be honest and transparent and encourage me to be the same.
He’ll be affectionate (both in and out of the bedroom) and know when to play and tease, when to hold me gently and when to push me.
He’ll be emotionally present and will see the strength in sharing vulnerably — and he’ll know how to hold me when I do the same.
