******I am currently dating someone and hope he's "the one". Thank you and good luck out there. :)********

I enjoy traveling, exercising, camping, hiking, snow skiing, spending time with friends and family, and a trip to a local Starbucks to relax and people watch. I love animals and appreciate their innocence and warm souls.

I hope to find some good friends or maybe something more. I'm new to this area and don't want to try to meet people through the bar scene. I do like going out, but I also enjoy staying in with a good movie to cuddle up on the couch with that special someone.

I am a glass half-full kind of girl. I try not to take myself too seriously. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and despite feeling like that gets me burned at times, it also makes me the person I've grown to be. I love to laugh and keep things light hearted. I am in a profession that is stressful but rewarding at the same time, which is what keeps me motivated. I take care of myself and enjoy exercise. I'm not a super health nut but do try to keep healthy. I appreciate men that take time to take care of themselves also.

I listen to all types of music ranging from R&B, pop, rock, country, and classical depending on the mood I am in.

First dates are tough. I think it's easier to keep it less formal and try to break the ice. Meeting for drinks, with dinner to follow is sometimes best. Meeting for coffee is also a nice way to meet someone for a casual first date and if things go well, make plans later on for dinner.
