Hi! My name is Ariel. I am an extroverted introvert with a passion for psychology and understanding people.

I have a nurturing nature, which has served me well from being a preschool teacher, mother, and nonprofit work with kids in the foster system.

I’m a great listener and I find that people open up to me easily because of how attentive I am to the conversation, and apparently I ask the right questions.

I’ve been told I give the best hugs. I read somewhere that we need 4 hugs a day for survival, 8 hugs a day for maintenance, and 12 hugs a day for growth. There are several mental and physical health benefits of hugs/human connection. I get more than my fill of hugs in a day (I have young children), so I have a lot of love to share.

To get a better understanding of my personality, I am funny/silly, sincere, lighthearted, open-minded, considerate, caring, and a great friend.

My cuddling style is typically the little spoon because I’m pretty small. Laying next to each other while watching a movie or talking, holding hands if you like, while appropriately dressed is comfortable as well. I like embracing while your head is on my shoulder or chest as well. Whatever feels comfortable, as long as it’s appropriate, I’m accommodating.

Making connections with people is something I love to do. I look forward to meeting you! 😊
