me: i work with special need kids and kids expelled from gen ed school. gentle soul, patient, caring and nurturing, young at heart, hiking/long walks, anything outdoors, tennis, and love of learning. Getting together with friends/families, cooking and hanging out. laughter is good medicine.funny bordering on goofiness, but can be serious when need be. Willing to try anything at least once well.. maybe twice just to be sure, plays well with adults and kids. does NOT like pretentiousness. communications, trust, and matters of the heart and soul is of great importance to me, not what money can buy. passionate about what interests me.

about you: nonjudgmental, thoughtful and respectful. Must be kind, compassionate and tolerant. Family oriented is good as i am close to my mine and involved parent to my 2 boys. willing to try new foods as I love to cook. have a good sense of humor and not afraid to laugh,..laugh and laugh some more. playfulness is always appreciated; willing to share(passions, hopes, fears, meals, etc), positive, supportive; affectionate; comfortable with who they are.

For a first date..hmmm. Meeting for an ice cream is always good. love hot fudge sundaes. If it's late in the day...sharing a meal will be perfect. oh... yes, i almost forgot conversation. Maybe having wine with the meal.
