Life is unique and dependent on how you shape it! So . . . I will always choose to see the glass as half full.

Hmmm . . . .about me . . . well, I am multi-faceted, love to laugh and live life to its fullest. I enjoy hanging out in jeans eating pizza with a cold beer as much as I enjoy wine and fine dining. Oh, yes, I love the sound and smell of a crackling fire, the sound of the ocean, cooking, dancing, long walks through a park, my dog, Max, movies, my friends, meeting new friends, a variety of music---it all depends on my mood. I have been told repeatedly that I am excellent cook and I love to entertain -- I'm Italian, it goes with the territory.

I am a hopeful romantic who loves to pamper, and yes, be pampered in return. Chemistry, both physical and mental is extremely important to me, there has to be a spark and while it's been awhile since I've felt it, I still believe that an all-consuming, "don't want to be without you" love can be found.

I believe that we are all responsible for our own happiness . . .so, I'm not looking for someone to make me happy . . .I'm looking for someone that makes me happier because they're a part of my life.

While I love casual elegance, I am down-to-earth and very much a bottom-line person and therefore appreciate and prefer direct, honest communication.

As far as what interests me in a man, well, . . . it really depends on the man. Everyone is unique and I believe that within the first 5 minutes of meeting someone, you know whether there's a connection and the potential for a path forward. I try not to have a "type."

In closing --- We either meet and hit it off, or we part as friends, how can we lose. You game?

BTW -- Sorry, but no pics, no response :)

We're both intelligent adults . . .lol . . . I'm sure we can figure it out . . .
