Independent minded, passionate woman with an optimistic,(but realistic) attitude, looking to date someone that is grounded with similar outlook and values. Must have your own interests, but value/ enjoy time with that special someone. I'm a woman that is sometimes set in her ways, yet still young enough to value compromise.

I fit best with others that communicate well and can engage in meaningful conversation. I love to talk, but I'm also a very good, active listener. One of my passions is the never ending quest to create an oasis in the city (my backyard).
My friends actually call my landscaping efforts, my "therapy".
Hmmm. wonder what they mean? :)
I love to fish and be on/near the water.
My playmate is a cute, lab/golden retriever 1-1/2 year old named Chloe.
I'm a Michigan football fan.
I miss Bo Schembechler football and all that he stood for as a person.
Thanks for taking a moment to view my profile.

First dates and what transpires during them depends on so many factors. I'm pretty comfortable and confident when meeting new people. I'd prefer a relaxed environment where we both can share whatever we're comfortable with, perhaps combining an ice breaker conversation with a nice walk..
