Looking for : I'm looking for a man who isn't afraid of a strong, intelligent, and free woman. I need someone who can admire and respect me, and yet not lose his masculinity. If you're capable of action, not just words, we're already closer. I want sincerity, passion, and ease, but without games or "I'll write later." If you're a man with whom I can laugh, argue, and wake up feeling like the world is a better place, you're my type.

About me : I'm Diana, from Lviv. I'm a historian who loves not only ancient battles and great destinies, but also creating my own history. Cheerful, full of life, sometimes cheeky, with a sense of humor that not everyone can handle. I love to dance as if it's the last evening of summer and read as if every page is a secret. Gentle on the outside, but within, a fire that flares up when a man knows how to spot it.

Qualities that I appreciate in people the most : Intelligence, courage, a sense of humor, kindness—not weak, but confident. And honesty, even when it's difficult.

My goals for the future : Family, travel, my own history book that people will read avidly. And a man by my side who inspires me.

My travel destinations (past or future) : I dream of walking the ancient Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, of seeing the Sahara Desert at night—when the stars are so close you feel like you can touch them. I want to eat a croissant on the banks of the Seine at dawn, hear fado in Lisbon, smell lavender in Provence, and one day, see the Northern Lights in Norway, standing in crisp snow.

I spend a lot of time thinking about (or my dream is) : About who I'll meet at sunrise with somewhere in the world. And about the mark I'll leave on history.

My favorite movies, books, music, shows : Books: "Shantaram," "A Little Life" by Hanya Yanagihara, "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho—stories that change how I see myself and the world. Movies: "Amelie," "Interstellar," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"—I love movies that surprise or touch me deeply. Music: Arctic Monkeys, LP, Ludovico Einaudi, and a little electronic music on rainy days.

My favorite food : Thai Pad Thai, Georgian khinkali, Japanese ramen, Lebanese hummus. And coffee—black, strong, morning coffee.

Pets in my life : I dream of a ginger cat who will look at me like he knows too much.

My hobbies and what I'm good at : Dancing, teaching, writing historical essays, photography, culinary experiments, and the ability to liven up any conversation

Talking about sports : Dancing (Latin), Pilates, a little kickboxing—to keep fit and in shape.

The five things I can't live without : Stories, travel, music, passion, and a person who knows how to hold my attention.

You should message me if : You're a man who isn't afraid of smart women, knows how to joke, enjoys emotions, and is ready for something deeper than just "hi, how are you?"

Job : History teacher
