A little about me...I backpacked in 20+ countries by the time I was 21. I love to dance. I love random trivia. I'm learning to mountain bike. I'm an avid hiker and lover of sunshine and mountains. I have the most amazing friends all over the world. I'm on a constant quest for Denver's best cupcake. I went to school in Boston, but have lived in 6 states and 2 countries. I'm a spiritual seeker but not religious. I've lived in Denver for the last 18 months after escaping the DC Metro area!
I'm extroverted, warm and fun- always up for an adventure. I go above and beyond in my friendships. I would NEVER be described as Type A or shallow. I take things as they come and roll with the punches.

Looking for someone who loves meeting new people, but in a genuine sort of way. Someone who loves exploring new places and trying new things. Walk wash park with me and the pup, stop for coffee, see a show with me at night- maybe play poker with me and my friends. Someone who is educated or at least worldly, can hold a conversation on current events. Is active and takes good care of themselves as I do. Loves to work hard, but also knows how to play hard.

On the whole I think first dates should be brief. Why should either person waste their time over a long dinner if there is just no chemistry?
Ideal first date- coffee, ice cream (Liks or The Red Trolley) or a walk with the dogs.
I think after 30 minutes with someone, you know if they are someone you would like to get to know more.
