I am a smart, attractive mother of a 10 year old boy and an executive for a non-profit healthcare company. I'm a compulsive reader, used to be a professional chef and I like walks, biking and traveling. I like roller blading and skiing too but I'm not very good yet - I need a partner! I'm happy in a 5 star hotel or in a sleeping bag in a tent. I don't have silicone, botox or prozac in my body and my pics were taken in the last 6 months. My best friends would say I am intelligent, cute, rebellious, compassionate and have a wicked sense of humor.

I am looking for men who know the difference between "I will like" and "I would like," who won't ask me for money on the first date and who aren't Nigerian scammers. I would like to meet a man who is confident, competent and curious about the world around him. I like direct and reasonably attractive men who know what they want, aren't easily intimidated and won't waste my time or theirs on one night stands or scams. I'm looking for a seriously happy relationship, not serial daters, dependents (excluding kids, of course - the more, the merrier) or drama. If you're most and none of the above, you know how to reach me :-)

Just about anything legal that doesn't involve serious risks to life, limb or property (sorry, my kid's not old enough to take care of himself). Coffee or wine is great for a first date . . .
