I would describe myself as a good conversationalist, humorous, and empathic. I’m romantic and like to hold hands, and to hug and kiss.

For fun I enjoy conversation, music, dancing, movies, concerts, hiking, cycling, skiing, snorkeling, travel, playing and watching sports, shopping (just kidding), trying new restaurants, wine tasting. I've been told that I'm more attractive than my photos reveal.

My favorite hot spots are: Eateries: Slanted Door, Chaya, Ozumo, Trattoria Pinocchio, Dosa in SF. Cha Am in Berkeley. Le Cheval in Oakland. Destinations: London, Venice, Kauai, Isle of Skye, Saguaro National Park AZ, Point Lobos, Marin Headlands, Sonoma Coast Line.

I like most food but my favorites are Spanish (Tapas), Thai, and Indian food. I shop at Whole Foods and in general prefer organic foods. I enjoy going to baseball games (A's) on warm summer evenings. I don't mind going to the movies to watch a so-called chick-flick (just not on my own). TV, I like 30 Rock, The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm and several of the Showtime series. Music I like Rock, R & B, Country Rock, Jazz, Blues, Reggae.

I like to read (mostly on BART) and my recent favorites are "The Life of Pi”, "The Alchemist", Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods" and "In a Sunburned Country".

I live in the East Bay and work in San Francisco.

The person I'm looking for -
There has to be physical attraction but equally important is intelligence and humor. I'm looking for someone who is confident, warm, affectionate, and passionate and wants to love and be loved. I prefer someone who cares about the way they look and dress and has a sense of personal style. I find many things sexy including dress, affection, a special smile, teasing and humor. I like to exercise and keep fit and would be interested in someone who feels the same way. I like someone who enjoys walking/hiking and dancing (not necessarily at the same time).

I like to sit opposite one another in a quiet intimate restaurant where we can talk.
