I enjoy work, but truly look forward to times spent with both friends and family as they mean the world to me. I love my dog- getting him was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I firmly believe that football and Sundays were not meant to be separated. I like both watching and playing sports. I'm a big runner, so someone who is active and enjoys being active is really a must for me. I love when a conversation can last for hours, but it only seems like minutes have passed. I have a severe caffeine addiction. and a big sweet tooth. I’m obsessed with my ipod. i like the beach- any time of year. I like wine. and cheese. preferably together, but equally enjoyable apart. I love concerts and live music in bars, but don't see either nearly as much as i'd like to.

I need someone who will challenge me to be a better version of myself...someone who makes me laugh and smile...someone who i can spend time with, but is comfortable and confident enough in my independence that he is ok with the occasional girls night out or alone time as well. Someone who is equally comfortable with beers at a ballgame or mingling at a work event. I've done the online dating thing before, so I wouldn't exactly say I'm new to it, it just hasn't worked out for me in the past I suppose. I did meet some pretty cool people though so I figured I have nothing to lose by giving it another shot. it's the little silly things that make me happy. now i just need someone to share them with :)

open to any suggestions- i like drinks or coffee or something casual like that for a first date- good way to break the ice and get to know each other without any real pressure.
