I'm charming, intelligent, big heart, generous, and kind & compassionate. Nature wrote that intro. ;o) No seriously, I have a huge heart, especially towards people I see that are obviously struggling in this sometimes cruel world. I like big families and taking part in their traditions (even when they are not my own family). I love my career and considered top-notch at what I do, but work isn't my world - there's a balance (the affectionate side of me needs care and feeding too - and that's where "you" in the 50/50 "we" come in). I workout and run. I have a deeper soul searching side too - and people often relate to me when they need to talk. As far as communication goes, listening comes first, and talking second. I'm book and street smart (born/raised in Manhattan; went to college & grad schools elsewhere; and I'm continuously self taught/reading). I'm basically just a normal/fun person to be around. Imagine that!

Keep it safe, simple, and don't make a decision based on it. A place where you can relax and talk without too much noise is best.
