About triciamartens:
Hello, I'm Tricia. I am basically shy until I get to know you. I believe in being open and honest with a person and hate dishonesty in a relationship. I love nature; I enjoy music, theater, movies, reading, crafts, quiet dinners out, and being with an interesting person for conversation and companionship. What do I want from a relationship? Friendship and respect above all, companionship, passion and laughter. I don't require a man to "wine and dine" me but also do not want a couch potato. I am a simple person with simple tastes and basically want someone to share the last half of my life with. Be my best friend and companion, talk to me, laugh with me, respect me, be honest with me, love me it's simple as that.

I work at Southern Illinois University as well as being a student there. The university takes up a large portion of my life now, but there is still an emptiness that needs to be filled and there is always time in the day to spend with someone special.
