A little of this and a little of that...I don't think I can fit into any one category-maybe I'll surprise you! Love traveling (Jamaica last summer-tons of sun-worshiping), music (love it all!), cooking (can't wait to take some cool classes-maybe thai one on?), a good wine (viognier is my most recent must-have), board game challenges (cranium and taboo get me excited), an amazing book I can't put down (Harlan Coben's Tell No One is still on my mind), films that make you think (though ridiculous comedies and sappy love stories also suffice) and am pretty much open to trying new things.

I'm passionate, affectionate, intelligent, family-oriented; can be depended on when the going gets tough, have integrity and a soft heart, and can get a pretty good immediate sense of someone's character. I have a great smile and a cute dimple--in one word, I'm adorable. People are often surprised by how easy I am to confide in, and I really just think it's part of being frank as well as being a good listener.

The guy I'm looking for has a good heart and a smart head on his shoulders, a great sense of humor, a zest for life, finds pleasure in the little things because they're just as important as the big ones, is close with his family and is looking to find the right one to start his own, is capable of honest communication, gets me out of my comfort zone to try new things, likes kids and animals, has a wide variety of interests, and in general is a decent human being (dimples are an added bonus :)).

Drinks are pretty much my choice for a first meeting. Unwind a little, loosen up, let the wine flow, feel each other out, and see if we're piqued enough to try a real date next time. If we make each other's hearts flutter a little, great! If not, well hey-worth a try, right?
