I am a great gal whose ready to settle down with a great guy. Compatibility and mutual interests, I have found, are what brings two people together and stay together. I enjoy what I do for work, but wouldn't characterize myself as a hardcore career woman-far from it. Interests: I have gotten involved with the local arts community, a local track club, and always make time for family and friends (one of five siblings and eight nieces and nephews--all pretty tight). I love keeping in shape as it adds balance to my life. I've been told I have am fun, unique, zany at times (in a good/fun way) and possess a natural curiosity about life and love to learn, and discover new things. At this point, I'd like to be discovering new things with a wonderful partner. I don't play games, and if you feel you are not ready, or are going to misrepresent yourself in some way, I may not be your girl. I've been hurt in that way and would rather a man know from the 'getgo' that he is ready and open for a loving relationship. :) Thanks.

Meeting, perhaps an outdoor cafe, for a bite or a drink where we could talk and get to know each other. I also like the idea of a stroll at the beach or a hike for some exercise.
