Happy, successful, native Californian, living beside the water on the San Francisco Peninsula. I enjoy the fun as well as finer things in life including drives in the country, exploring quaint towns, picnics, sailing, theater, museums, travel, outdoor anything, street fairs, mellow jazz, slow dancing, holding hands, a great glass of wine. I love animals and have a beautiful 3 yr old Golden Retriever and 18 yr old Persian cat. My tastes are eclectic, ranging from antique and classic to modern and funk. What could be more fun than sharing the kitchen with someone special while cooking up an impromptu gourmet meal for 2 or for 10? (Especially when it includes dark chocolate!!) Or, a romantic dinner beside the water and under the stars. I believe in the 3 "C's"..communication, chemistry and of course, chocolate! Open communication and honesty are two very important traits that I expect of myself and of others in my life. I enjoy humor and believe that being a kid at times makes life much more fun! I am loving, sensual and playful and believe it's important to explore the world around us. Enjoy looking for new things and finding a fresh approach to the common things we interact with. I have a sensitive side..and tend to cry easily watching sad movies (or those crazy lost relative reunions) or even when I'm happy! I believe that it's often the smallest things...a look, a touch, a word, a note, that can be the most special and very intimate moments. Kissing is also a very important part of the magic that a relationship holds for me. I am looking forward to sharing many firsts with that one special man. You are not afraid to take another chance on being happy and fulfilled by someone special.
