I'm a veterinary technician, hence the petlover name; however, I'm currently earning my MS in education to become a science teacher. I have a 6-year-old chihuahua who I adopted about two years ago, and I absolutely love her. I watch a lot of movies in the winter and like to go for walks and read outside in the summer. I like to travel and want to re-visit a number of places I went to when I was younger, such as Hawaii and Italy. I used to play the violin and still play the piano. I enjoy many different kinds of music, ranging from classical to pop. I still want to learn to cook better and am in the process of decorating my condo.

I'm hoping to find a guy who has it together. Everyone wants someone honest and smart and who has a great sense of humor, right? I'm looking for someone who knows himself, doesn't care to play games, and is determined in life to make the most of it. Having an education is also important to me; that's just a value that I was brought up to hold. Plus, he should like pets, especially dogs, since I own one. If this sounds like you, please write me an e-mail; I'd like to get to know you better. However, please e-mail me with more than "how are you." Tell me something, anything, about you.

I think a first date should be casual like getting coffee or a sandwich lunch. It should be simple to give both people a chance to get to know the other person a little bit more.
