About Me

My first day as an online dater, a "gentleman" (perhaps appropriately self-titled as Kidneyshovel) asked me to come over and hang out in his basement at 11 PM. Hmmm.....not really a basement kind of girl.And so it goes, here I am, again, giving it a try...I love books. I fantasize about being trapped in a library for months and reading all the books on my wish list (IQ84), and all the books I'd love to experience again (Of Human Bondage), and all the books I didn't really like, if only to give them the second chance they deserve (sorry Moby-Dick).I am deeply affected by beauty--even something as small as the way light makes shapes on a dusty floor. Colors, fabrics, fashion, buildings, birds, all attract and hold my eye. I can't help but assign meaning, which probably isn't there, to the smallest visual details.I love dancing, well, any kind of movement really. I like to tiptoe and twirl, cartwheel and climb, leap and lunge, sway and swoon. Take me dancing and we're off to a swimming start. I don't think adults are playful enough. I'd like to meet someone who has a healthy sense of play and fun.These are a few of my favorite things:TV: Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire (loving season 4), Six Feet Under, House of Cards, early seasons of Parks and Rec.-Up Bird Chronicles (love everything by Murakami), The Executioner's Song, The History of Love, Sophie's Choice...A few of the things I can do:**Palm a basketball (a woman with very large--yet feminine!--hands)**Dominate the scrabble board (a woman of many words)**Recite a few Shakespearean sonnets (a woman inspired by beauty)**Knock back a dozen cookies in one sitting (a woman of serious appetites)**Fall asleep within 30 seconds of my head contacting the pillow (a woman with a clean conscience)**Rock funky leopard heels, skinny jeans and t-shirt (a woman with a sense of fashion)***I am a few years older than my age posted here, but men often cap their search at ***an age I can easily pass for (: If you find the fact that I've done this dishonest (which is weird since I'm stating it here), then there are certainly no hard feelings on my end, but chastising me as your opening line, well...honestly, I'd prefer to be invited to a basement by Kidneyshovel. Something short and sweet: a walk through the park or at the beach (not the boardwalk though as I was run over by a drunk bicyclist on a meetville date!), or a glass of wine.I don't exchange phone numbers (and for very good reason--the whole one bad apple spoils the whole barrel thing), so we will have to arrange things via messages through meetville. If we meet and, god forbid, we are not a match, let's end things gracefully. And by gracefully I mean no hard feelings and no need for follow up *** the initial recognition and so-be-it-I-wish-you-well exchange. We've all been there, or at least had the impulse to want to keep writing, but my lack of interest is not a statement about your value and vice versa.

    I love to work out in the gym 5 days a week. I enjoy watching and playing most sports. I center my life around my children, but I do enjoy going out for a drink, dinner, or a good movie.

    Hi! I'm Sam... and I'm awesome. Just wanted to put that out there now so there's no surprises later. : ) I'm a happy, outgoing, laid-back, cute, funny, confident, silly, have a good lid, ambitious, brutally honest, quirky, tall-ish with heels, strong morals, witty, good values, sarcastic, genuine, nice, thoughtful, romantic, generous to a fault, cool (very), faithful, down-to-earth, driven, fun, spontaneous, energetic, definitely a talker, green eyes (not blue), independent, rarely on time, well-traveled, open-minded, loyal, optimistic, trusting (naively so at times), sweet, expressive, heart-on-my-sleeve, reliable, hard-working, do-gooder, enthusiastic, excitable, go-getter, try-everything-once, home-body, partier, nurturing kinda chick... and that's me in a rather hefty nutshell!I've been fortunate enough to travel all over, i.e.;.. although my relatively new mortgage has quelled my ability to travel so freely. : (Meeting new peeps, trying new things, seeing new places... this is the essence of life - how we grow, learn, experience, understand and give-back. But when it comes down to it, I'm hoping to eventually fall head over heels in love... not too much to ask!! Wish me luck... and right back at ya! What would I do for a first date?! Hmmmmm... to me, the first date is less important than the second. The first date is about talking, exploring, asking and answering seemingly basic questions... but the second date is when you get to push those boundaries, ask the tough(er) questions, find out what really makes you tick. That's when you find a true connection and the chemistry happens.

    I have been single for quite some time and I am looking for someone that will fit into my life and complete it. I will not tell you that it will be easy but I know that when the right person comes along it will all be worth it... those are easy to come by! I am looking for my last first kiss, this princess doesn't need anymore frogs!I am an old fashioned girl, I expect you to open doors and pay for a date. If a man isn't willing to woo a girl especially on a first date then he isn't really that interested is he?? I am simply asking for respect and to be treated as if your mother was watching :) A first date can be so many things but I want to go someplace that allows me to get to know someone, maybe a quiet dinner or a walk on the beach. It needs to be someplace that allows conversation to flow but that isn't too quiet to make the situation awkward. ;)
