If you are looking for someone that is genuine, down-to-earth, and spunky...read on. I grew up on the east-coast, went to college in the south, and am now making a life for myself in the mid-west. I am sarcastic yet sweet, and laugh easily. My friends consider me thoughtful, reliable, approachable, and fun. I am the "inclusive" friend; often inviting new and different people to hang out. I love wine bars and laid back, unpretentious bars. I love the outdoors and crave getting out of the city on occasions and into greener areas. When not working you can find me working out, trying a new restaurant, baking (you should try my peanut butter-chocolate bars!), catching up with friends, drinking a beer at a festival or watching the occasional sports game. I am up for challenges and trying new things. I recently did some independent traveling and enjoy learning what new and old things are out there to keep me interested. I am definitely quirky-can't explain that one; you will just have to find out in person to see how. Oh, and I certainly appreciate traditional dating versus the more modern version (e.g. being asked out over the phone vs. text)-yes there are still some of us out there!

You take me out on your boat to watch the sunset; we share a bottle of wine under the twinkling stars! Ah yea...Typically a good first date includes good conversation (the non-interview type), and lots of laughs- maybe over drinks, dinner or something simple.
