Hi! I'm Carissa

Dating apps are… fine.

But they don’t really show personality, and I figured this would be more fun (and slightly unhinged, but in a good way). If you made it this far, keep scrolling so you can know more about me than most people on apps do.

Carissa in short form

The Boring

An almost 40, career-driven Principal HR Business Partner working in Tech that's based in Austin (shocking, I know)

The Good

Works to live, has a world renowned RBF that has yet to win any awards (I've been robbed), cooks and bakes for those that have proven themselves worthy, is dating intentionally - - hard stop

The Fun

I have open PTO so must be travel ready, I'm known for collecting seashells so start investing in maximum SPF sunscreen, oh and invest in a physical or mental shield because I spit zingers like it's an art form

You + Me

By continuing to scroll, you acknowledge that:

I'm a mother

I take motherhood seriously and I'm damn good at it. It's also not my entire personality and I live a full life when my kiddos are with their dad. I'm not quite sure if I want to physically have more.

If you made it through this list unoffended, we’re off to a strong start.

I'm socially liberal

I wouldn't consider myself political, but have found that my value system rarely aligns with people who are more conservative or frankly, who back Trump.

I'm flexible

...on the where, but selective on the who. My ideal partner is someone based in Austin (or frequently visits), is in a similar stage of life (solid career + emotional stability and availability), and is open to and hoping for something long-term.

I'm agnostic

I fully respect and honor other people's beliefs, but I am not religious and don't believe I would be a great match for someone that is faith-centered.

FAQs (bc why not?!)

Q: Is this serious?

Yes… but also no. But also yes.

Q: Are you normal?

Obviously!

Q: What’s the ideal first date?

Something low-pressure + good conversation + drinks?

Q: a/s/l?

If you don't know what this means and never used AIM you've aged yourself out of this process. 39/f/Austin. If it matters, 5'7.
