I am a graphic designer and work in Des Plaines. I love my work (well, most of the time LOL). I like to ride my bike, walk, go to movies/plays and spend time with my friends. My favorite thing to do is dance especially salsa. My taste in movies tends to be toward thrillers. Favorite food is Mexican. A rainy Sunday afternoon seems to me to be a good time to go to a museum or the Art Institute. I have a great sense of humor and insist that my match have the same. I try never to take myself too seriously. I believe a healthy relationship starts out as friends. I love the dating part of a relationship and think it's very romantic.

My match should not take himself too seriously and enjoy his life. If nothing else happens, it's always good to have another friend. I would prefer that my match like to dance, however, that's not a deal breaker. Being Physically fit contributes to a long life as well as confidence and attitude.

As you can see by my photos, I don't lie about my age. It's taken this long to find the peace and serenity (not every day, but lot's of days) that age brings to one. Besides, I believe that starting out with deception ends what ever could have begun. My life is simple, I am blessed with many friends, I have a beautiful and charming little granddaughter of 5-1/2 years old (she always throws in the 1/2, do you remember doing this as a child?), and being able to dance like no one is watching.
