About Me

ME: I am a smart, strong, independent, generous, passionate and competitive woman. I love a good adventure. I tend to look for the good in everything. I am cognizant that life is about living, and for me that means taking the time to slow down and be present in the moment. Love live music; it's the melody that first attracts me but it is the lyrics that make me fall in love with a song. I enjoy most genres of music; alternative, indie, singer-songwriter, folk, classic rock, jazz, blues and I have even been listening to a bit of new Country which is out of character for me. I’ I describe myself as having an hourglass figure, just a tad too much sand in the bottle for my liking, so I am a work in progress. Other interests include travel, hiking, art and cultural events, unfettered conversation, playing drums, cooking, and quality time spent with my friends and family.YOU: Obviously, chemistry seems to trump all, and quality trumps quantity in my book. I'm not about juggling multiple men I'm tepid toward (which is a disservice to all involved). I realize that mutual "rock your world" chemistry is quite the elusive thing, but I know it is possible. The following are characteristics/qualities I would desire to find in the man I would ultimately want to share my time with – not all are requirements. There could be some magical combination. Witty and educated, can talk on a myriad of subjects Great sense of humor is a mustSees things from a variety of perspectives and is open minded Listens to me and values my opinionsKnows how and when to take risksGenerally sees the glass as half fullThoughtful, passionate, spontaneous, curious, comfortable and quietly confident Young at heart and understands the importance of playShares similar interests and has some cross over with my musical tastesTells me I’m beautiful even when I might not be having the best dayUses terms of endearment liberally, yet genuinelyNot afraid of PDA, will hold my hand, hug and kiss me, in private will throw me down on the sofa, in the kitchen or in the bedroom in the heat of the moment and make love to me with wild abandonKnows my family and friends are important and supports those other relationships in my lifeCooks, knows something about wine and good food, strives to eat healthy Balances self needs with the needs of othersLikes to travelTries new things just becauseAsks and sometimes tells me what he wants, can be directive at timesCan relax and hang out at home having an uncomplicated “us day”– willing to express self in a variety of mediumsDesires happiness for self and othersDoes his own thing from time to time and not totally reliant upon me for existenceLets me dress and wear my hair as I like though he won’t shy away from telling me when I look like crapWill stare into my eyes for hours, loves to kiss and does so, wellWill indulge my whimsy and find it amusingCan guide me to different ways of thinking and decisions, without conking me over the head Not afraid of difficult conversations, willing to let me know if I have done wrong, been hurtful or insensitive, so I can learn to make better choicesMakes time for intimacy and cuddling, preferably upon waking and when we go to bed at night, as our schedules allowCan be strong for me when I just need to rest my head on his shoulder Looking for a guy whose crazy fits with my crazySomeone who just wants to be with me in all my glory, accepts me as is, who sees all my potentialMy intent on my profile indicates that I would like to have a relationship, however, I don't believe in jumping into anything too quickly. I'd like to meet people, see if we click, perhaps make some friends along the way, and should I stumble across the man for me I think we will both know when that happens. I consider myself a Hopeful Romantic - loving the idea of love, yet firmly living in reality. I still see the world full of possibilities. And for the man that might be my match; I can no longer offer you all of my firsts, but I can offer you all of my lasts.Bottom line, if you are relatively attractive or even if you are drop dead gorgeous, have an infectious personality, can flash a wickedly captivating smile, are for the most part happy, have never been incarcerated, aren't on meds for any new-age psychological ailment, and can take all this with a grain of salt, give me a shout - because I'd truly love to hear from you. I believe a first meeting should allow us the opportunity to talk, listen, and learn about each other so we can see if there is some sort of spark. I really don't know how I feel about online dating as it feels a bit unnatural. Not all senses are present and you really cannot get a good idea about the each other till you meet in person. In this day and age I understand the importance of being cautious for safety sake but I don't want a long term online dating experience (only chatting and sending messages online, or having a lengthy phone relationship). At some point we need to meet face to face. If the conversation is great or even good, if our time together seems to flow and not feel pressured, if we leave not wanting the conversation to end we should arrange a 2nd meeting - the real first date. If the opposite is true and you don't think I am a good fit for you, I'd prefer for you just to be upfront with me, and I'll do the same. My feelings won't be hurt - online dating sites are nothing more than an introduction service. The way I see it is we are all here at a cyber space party mingling, and maybe we happen to bump into someone that catches our eye and we begin a dialogue. So the first meeting is really the live version of continuing that dialogue to see if we mesh. It's all good.If you think we might be a good fit or you would like to get to know me, please reach out and let's start with a chat and take it from there. Best luck in your search!

    I am a well-read, open-minded, honest, talkative, fun-loving woman who is old enough to know better and young enough to do it anyway. I have not lost faith in love & commitment (eventually) with the right man. I have never restricted myself to my own personal "likes & dislikes" and don't plan on starting now. I will do (almost) anything once. Twice if I like it. No is NO FUN!I love music & love to dance. Rock ,alternative, reggae, salsa, blues are all good fun. I especially like to cook & create for a willing guinea pig. Don't worry, I haven't killed anyone (that I know of) yet. I have a great full-time job, own my own home, have great friends and family whom I like to see often. I don't need a good man but do want someone who wants to "go,see & do." with me because he enjoys my company. I think a good relationship grows and matures like a fine wine. It starts with attraction, turns into friendship and then into love. I love to meet new people and be able to see their eyes, shake their hands, watch their faces and hear the tone of their voice. This will tell me much of what I want to know. Do you live close? Let's see if we "click". A place to talk & get to know each other? Great. Coffee? Fine. A drink? O.K. We like each other so much we want to get together again? Best.

    My age is correct and pics are current and I ask the same of you - let's be real- misrepresenting age/fitness level/emotional health, etc...is a waste of time. Please stop posting old pics that don't even resemble you remotely -lol- you know who you are!! If you're not sure- ask a friend! I'm very flexible...but not when it comes to dishonesty! This is how I look in person (not my best pics) and I'm a true size 2- small/fit! For me, it's more about what's inside but I also keep in shape, live healthy and my partner with want that lifestyle too- its important to me- I want someone who can keep up! I'll enjoy spending time with you and our adventures but I am really an introvert and need some alone time and want you to have yours too. At a party, I'm likely in the corner having a great conversation with one or just a few people, never the party girl. ;)While I'm open to all cultures and types, I've found that I'm typically most physically attracted to men who are Latin and it's not something that I can change- not exclusively - but it's worth noting. Your inner self is most important to me (chemistry and mental attraction!***add in intelligent, creative, open minded, active/fit in mind and body, ability to find the humor in life and I'm all in. ;) A focus on what we can create and enjoy together is a great start. I'm living my life better now and have learned a great deal from my past, wanting to use those experiences to make an interesting, dynamic future for myself and those I share my life with.To me, it's important to find the right person for me, not the best person now - and I will be honest and kind if I feel we are not a match - it's my nature. Some deal breakers: Showing up an hour late (things happen but if you're going to be more than ten minutes late, please let me know) over ***let's reschedule, not over your ex (while I'm trained in the field, I'm not your therapist), serial dater (I'm looking for someone who wants one partner). I'm very understanding and I give a lot of respect to others - I ask the same in return. If we're making plans, lets give a couple of days notice, The Golden Rule applies here and if you're not sure about anything, just ask- don't assume! I'm not looking for someone to just play with- you gotta be a strong person who is able to express yourself and have your own opinions! If I don't respond to your contact, it's not a negative reflection on either one of us, just that I don't feel we're a good match for whatever reason and I hope you find what you're looking for. Chemistry is best gauged in person - let's plan to do something and get to know each other! I like to try new places and explore things and I'm open to what you want to check out- let's go! First meetings over food and/or drink are great, no pressure here.
