I have always winced at the thought of online dating... but in the name of open-mindedness, I thought I would give it a try. After being thoroughly disappointed in the trashy local nightlife, I have come to the conclusion that meeting people here might not be the worst idea. So, here goes...

Despite being very busy, I make it a point to find the time for doing the things I like and spending the time with people who I care about. I like people who have brains, humor and wit, spunk, self-confidence (not narcissism), resilience, strength of character, a willingeness to learn and be taught (humility), those who have been through some tough times in life and pushed through it (I am not going to make your lemonade for you).


First Date:

I can say what my first date nighmares are:

1) Fancy restaurant "wining & dining" - schmoozing is laughable

2) Bar or nightclub -yelling in each other's ear.


I discourage overindulgence and understimulation. I am uninterested in vapid minds and weirdos. I am interested in great wit and challenging repartee.

Now what?

get ready!

When I'm with someone special I like being spontaneous, adventurous, romantic, surprising them with little gestures, sensual, playful, and basically having that type of fun you see two people who just met in the movies having! Someone to laugh with, hang out with, be spontaneous with, and have fun with! I'm looking for someone who has similar qualities and desires someone who they can connect with . . . . . . I feel there has to be mutual physical attraction for there to be good chemistry between two people. So being fit and having good looks are important, as well as sensuality and affection. . . . . . Having some similar interests helps--some things I enjoy are fine dining, walking at the beach at night, going dancing, watching movies including foreign films, travelling, going snowboarding, going on day trips to local attractions, having romantic nights at home, cuddling, and basically having a blast together. . . . . .
