Whatever it is it is!!! You can't determine who is out there. No one is perfect. I enjoy working out, getting a good education, and I look forward to teaching. I love my music, from the 60's to hip-hop (not all of it-just some). My friends are important to me and so is my family. I love a good night with friends and family whether it is out or home. There's nothing like it. Don't flatter or schmooze me. Relationships, whether they are friendships or partners, is a team effort. Honesty and loyalty are so key. Treat a person the way you want to be treated. On the food list, I love Italian and Spanish food (and I don't mean some restaurant down neck Newark-no, not at all-it's mom or dads cooking-mom is Italian). A good night with my partner can be a night at home with movies and take-out or going to dinner. Sushi,is of course, no. 1 on my list. I want friendship first then take it from there.

I believe it is important for someone to have their own hobbies, as I have mine. I don't expect a person to be around 24/7; I have to assume their is another life besides me. Being physically fit is important to me, so I expect a person to take care of themselves too. Not only for physical appearance but health reasons. I enjoy working out. The gym is as routine as cooking dinner. A person with a sense of humor makes up for part of a good relationship.

A good cup of coffee.
