I am an intelligent, professional female with a good sense of humour and a keen sense of adventure looking for my “soul-mate.”

I'd generally say I'll try anything once, I like to try new things and go to new places. On a weekend evening I might find myself out having a drink at a bar in Durham, watching a band at Mr. Lynch in Newcastle, at a cinema, cooking a meal at home for friends, at an art gallery, at a comedy club, eating out at a restaurant or round a friends with a bottle of wine or two. Over the last six months or so I've also found myself at a burlesque show at The Cluney, watching Coldplay in Manchester, I've had a weekend in London, a weekend in Liverpool and a week in Barcelona.

If any of this sounds interesting and you'd like to spend sometime trying to get to know somebody new then please get in touch.

I hope to find somebody who is a best friend as well as a partner, somebody who rocks my world, expands my horizons, challenges my world but respects who I am. I'm looking for a “spark.” I don't have a checklist that must be perfectly matched. Sometimes its true that opposites attract, I think you don't really know if you'll be a good match with somebody until you spend some time together.

Genuine replies only please, I'm not interested in MSN chat, friendship, or dirty talk over the internet. I want to find an honest and genuine guy that I truly connect with and can have a meaningful relationship with. I've only been on here a couple of weeks and I've already encountered several psychos - people who are abusive if you don't reply and people who are abusive if you do reply and nothing comes from it! I'm not looking to waste my/your time.

Meet for a coffee/drink/chat/meal and see what happens...
