I enjoy music immensely, pretty much any kind, from classical to rap. I love movies, other than chick flicks unless they are really well-made. I'm really into watching all sports (and actually understand what's going on more than most women, except for golf that is). I have a wide variety of interests, so it's hard not to find something in common with me; from visiting museums to paintball. I have a good sense of humor, have been described as a guy's girl; a tomboy, but I love girly things too. I like to cook, bake, paint, make jewelry; anything creative. I really enjoy traveling to new places, and hope to do so more often. I enjoy having intelligent conversations, although I can be quite silly at times and try not to take things too seriously. I'm looking for a real relationship, not just friends with benefits, life is too short for that.

Well, first dates aren't usually that elaborate, something simple to test the water. Go out for some coffee or dinner. Somewhere quiet where it's easy to talk and get to know someone better.
