I am a woman of many interests-I love to backpack and hike. Am a rifle range, archer, obstacle course instructor, however, I clean up pretty nicely and love perfume and ruffles. In my former life I was a software engineer for a large research and development company in NJ. worked on some pretty dark and arcane projects. Now, other than my outdoor adventures ,my hobby is art - I love to create beautiful things in warm glass and pottery and sometimes with pen and ink.
My life is happy, content and full with the exception of an exceptional intelligent accomplished man to keep me engaged and satisfied.
Why am I unique - that's easy - right brained, left brained - the hippie nerd. Very laid back, funny, easy to be with, demanding,but giving; flirty but committed -(yes I probably should be committed)-guess one could say I was a unique combination of backpacking and ruffles

First dates - wow - they could be anything.....depends on what the gentleman enjoys - usually lunch at a local place - somewhere public - could be a football game or baseball game, .... I love wonderful picnics with unusual things - caviar, champagne, pate, or a breakfast picnic with all sorts of cheeses and breads and good strong coffee. Could be dinner at Wendys or the Ritz Carlton - I'm comfortable in both places. The wheres of a date are really unimportant, it is the whys and the whos that really make the date.
