I'm a fun, intelligent, easygoing person who believes in getting the most out of life. I love to dance- I dance Latin and ballroom and teach salsa classes. I also act in community theater. I love movies, whether it's going to the theater or watching them at home. When it's nice out, I enjoy taking long walks in the park- although I warn you now my sense of direction isn't that great =). Even though I'm a city person, I definitely appreciate nature also.
I also enjoy travelling and love the beach. Atlantic City is fun- I'm not a big gambler, but it's fun to be there and walk around. New York is great. I'm almost always listening to music- can't live without it! I like an eclectic mix of stuff, from rock to blues to Latin to Billy Joel. I like going to concerts and going to see bands at bars.
I like to laugh, so someone who can make me laugh is always good. I tend to be sarcastic and a smart-alec, so someone who can give me a run for my money in that department is fun.
I'm pretty laid back and go with the flow. I am passionate about the people and things I care about in my life. I value my friends and am very loyal to them. I'm looking for someone who's intelligent and easy to get along with and will travel with me and experience new things. I am very straightforward and honest, no games, and I appreciate people who are the same.

I think a nice dinner somewhere fairly quiet is nice for a first date. That way, you can talk and get to know each other. Then, if we're having a good time, move it somewhere else after, like a bar for a drink.
