I like spending time with children, volunteering my time for important causes, the arts and music, sporting events (soccer mostly), the outdoors, National Geographic, the Discovery channel, dogs, writing, and painting. I also enjoy the ballet, operas, foriegn films.

I love music, but tend to like older stuff like Miles Davis, Van Morrison, Bill Whithers, Billie Holiday, John Coltrane, and The Beatles. I've been called an "old soul with the heart of a child". I can be very silly, but also very serious when need be.

I'm very attracted to intelligence & humor.

I love learning about/exploring different cultures.

I also like going hiking, camping, fishing. Being outdoors. Snow.

I don't wear a lot of make-up. I like looking natural.

I'm the type of woman that can prepare a nice dinner for your boss and keep my end of the conversation flowing, throw some jeans and a t-shirts in a bag for a weekend roadtrip, or dress up in style for a charity ball and mingle with sophistication and grace.

I'm practical and down to earth. I could care less about material possessions.

I've been called aloof, but I truly have a big heart and a lot of love to give the right person.

I'm looking for my best friend coupled with insane chemistry. I find men with thick dark hair, blue eyes, and straight white teeth extremely acttractive.

I'm looking for someone who gives piggyback rides, plays scrabble, likes gardening, and would read in bed with me. The kind of guy that would give his jacket to a homeless guy and volunteer at a soup kitchen on Thanksgiving day.

I'm looking for someone with a lot of depth and heart.

I'm sorry if I seem picky, I just really know what I'm looking for, which is probably the reason I've never been married. He's out there... I know it. He's just really hard to find.

I want kids, so if you don't, then please don't message me.

I don't understand the non-religious thing. I believe in God and attend church most Sundays. I also love the priciples of Buddhism and what their beliefs stand for.

But I also believe in the theory of evolution and love science and history.

A movie and then coffee to chat about the movie. Or eat hibachi and play goofy golf. Go to the park and have a picnic. Play a game of scrabble. Clean the beach. I think the first date should be somewhat interactive, so you can get to know the person better.
