About me and who I'm looking for

About me:

Hey! I'm fun, down-to-earth, mostly relaxed although I can be OCD about some weird things (my keys have to face the same way on my key ring,) love the Lord, my family, my roommates, my church, and working with teenagers. I love reading and watching movies multiple times so I can dissect them. I love coffee, bookstores, and my friends - combine all three and I'm in Heaven. I desperately want a puppy for Christmas.
I pray for our country, I care about our country, but I am NOT obsessed with politics. Talk to me about politics on our first date and I guarantee that you will have lost my attention by your third sentence.
I'm not going to use you for a free meal - I may even want to pick up the tab once in a while to do something nice for you - but I am a girl that values chivalry. I don't need you to open my doors, but I'll love that you do.
I tend to be more on the quiet side, but am not shy - I do open up, but only after I've determined that you're trustworthy. I'm a fairly emotional girl, but am very logical as well.
I want something that starts off slow, fun and solid. I don't mind deep when it's time - but I won't force closeness. I'm not the kind of girl that is in and out in a night. I keep my promises - so I won't make any until it's appropriate to do so.
My heart's been broken and I'm sure yours has too, but I won't give you details. I don't want details. They're not important. I'm not a fan of sob stories. At some point, you just have to grow up, put a band aid on it and get over it.

I'm looking for:

I'm looking for someone that likes to try new things, wants to teach me new things, is content (happy even) to spend time at home, with friends, with family, or just sitting outside and talking about nothing or everything. I want someone strong enough to face failures and keep getting back up, someone who honors God, someone with a great sense of humor, someone that demands respect, is attentive, and is persistent - maybe even stubborn.
