Welcome! Please find your seat and move from the aisle so that those seeking "average" or "laid back" can move onto the next profile. Today's entertainment will include a shameless display of self-promotion and perhaps include coffee or drinks later? So with that, please put your tray table in the upright and locked position and make sure your seatbelt is properly fastened.

So by now I am sure you're interested to know who you might be traveling next to. I am quiet, but fun. I am the life of the party around my friends. I am open and honest and expect the same in others. I am independent and sometimes stubborn, so I need people around me who can put me in my place from time to time. ;) I love to travel (duh), read, explore the city, hang out with friends, enjoy evenings out for dinner and drinks, or sometimes just drinks. I have recently become a Wii addict (I can hola hoop and box with the best of 'em). I am a fan of nights in- dinner for 2, movies or board games (and no I won't "let" you win!). I am well educated and successful in my career. I don't expect everyone to have the same level of education as me, but I do expect a certain level of professional stability/success.

About my perfect travel partner… There are the standards that I am sure we all want in the assigned seat next to ours. Honesty, quick wit, ability to carry a balanced conversation, good manners, intelligence etc. Beyond those (very) basic qualities that make one an interesting person, I am open. I don't have the laundry list of what makes my "perfect match." Beyond the basics, it's about being inspired and challenged by my partner. Perfection and beauty are often in the things you don't expect.

I hope you enjoyed today's journey. Please make sure your seat back is now in the upright position. By the way, anybody know how to land this thing?

If you think you're ready for an adventure, let's make plans to get that drink.

Online dating is like a blind date... without the friend or family member to blame when things don't click. First "meetings" should be casual. Scratch the dinner and movie plans... coffee, drinks... or maybe dessert. Simple, easy. If things go well, THEN we can plan a date.
