I love social dancing, taking care of my two miniature poodles, tending to indoor plants, cooking, engaging conversations, reading, beaches, theater, visiting friends and family, and celebratory dinners on any occasion. I hope to get back to working part time but the economic conditions make it hard to find a job.

I am fun-loving, warm, sincere, reliable, and informal. I cherish the same qualities in a man.

For a first encounter, I would like to meet the man in a coffee shop or restaurant for a short while to determine if we have suitable chemistry between us. For the next date, and anytime thereafter, I like the simple pleasures of dinner out and/or movies, for example. I find that it's the company, not the activity that's important on a date.

However, I also appreciate a man who is creative and surprises me once-in-a-while by making plans for the evening.
