I was a teacher who is now a guidance counselor. I enjoy the movies, theater, hiking, camping, and reading. I love to go to sporting events and go out dancing. I also enjoy spending an evening at home curled up watching a movie. I love to travel. I like all types of music from classic rock to jazz. Going to concerts and hearing live music is a big part of my life. I'm looking for someone who is down-to-earth, enjoys the same activites I do, wants to meet new people and is willing to try new things. My ideal match would be someone who is honest, responsible, has a head on his shoulders and knows how to have fun. It's important to have a sense of humor and adventure. His interests do not need to match mine but he has to be willing to try new things. My match would have to be comfortable and open in most situations. He would have to be confident in himself. He should also be happy with his job and his life. He should be the type of guy that loves to go out but at the same time can be very happy spending the evening at home.

I think first dates can be very nerve racking since you are meeting someone for the first time. I feel like coffee or drinks are a good way to start to see if there is any chemistry. That way you can talk and get to know one another in a casual environment.
