I am a single, professional, educated, and originally from Germany. My interests are many and varied and range from the outdoors (I love hiking, the mountains, the ocean, and sailing) to the arts and all its various manifestations. Particularly, I love foreign and independent movies, museums, and many types of music, mostly classical. I also love to travel and am very adventurous when it comes to food.

In terms of personality, I would say that I'm extremely positive and tend to gravitate toward positive people. I usually find value in almost any situation, and know that growth mostly occurs as a result of difficult times. My most basic emotion is gratitude for everything I have and a desire to share this with the man who will come into my life.

At this time in my life, I have no interest in any type of game. I know that it takes time to develop a relationship, and that the best relationships are based on friendship, respect, and mutual trust.

I have a lot of love to give. I am a very feminine woman and, while I am looking for an equal partner, I love the male/female dynamic, and know how to treat my man. Honesty, communication, kindness, generosity of spirit, and service to others are qualities I value.

That said, I also believe that relationships flourish when there are common interests and that laughter, playfulness and fun are integral parts of a relationship.

We are all grown-ups and can exist on our own, but what I need to be truly fulfilled as a woman is a man to enjoy life and be happy with.

I am looking for a mature, intelligent, educated, fit, adventurous man. I want to go on bike rides in Central Park, kayak on the Hudson, enjoy the Symphony and Shakespeare in the Park, and do all these delicious NY things that are so much more fun with a compatible partner.
