I enjoy going to movies, theater and comedy shows; eating out; taking long walks; quiet evenings at home with the right person; watching professional sporting events like Broncos, Rockies, Nuggets; bowling; playing backgammon, board games and cards; riding bikes; going to festivals; fairs; and dancing, but most importantly I like spending time with good friends.

Problem is, all my good friends are involved or married and I end up being the odd-(wo)man out. I'm looking for someone new to do these things with. I'm also ready to try new things with someone else.

My passion is travel. I try to do it as much as possibile, anywhere I can go, whenever I get the chance. I take a ton of pictures and then putting them on my screen saver so I can relive the fun.

I believe it takes more than looking at pictures and profiles to really know if you're going to have chemistry or if romance will bloom. I believe it takes more than a few dates to figure out if there is truly a spark of any kind. So that's why I say, I'd like to start with friendship and see if it turns into something more. The worst that will happen is we'll become friends.

I'm a very loyal person and expect the same in return. I've been on the other end of that unfaithful relationship once, and never want to be a part of that again.

I like most music. I listen mostly to pop, but find I have a lot of country on my IPod and go to more country concerts than any. I like oldies, classical rock, and also enjoy hearing the music our parents listened to...Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Glen Miller.

I'm finishing up my last 2 college classes this year getting an Associates Degree in Computer Programming. Every class has been self-taught/online -- very grueling, but very rewarding. It's been something I've wanted to do since before my daughter was born over 21 years ago, but I put it on hold to raise her.

I'll tell you I'm a little quiet at first, but when I tell the people I know that I'm a little shy, they look at me like I'm crazy, so I guess I'm not as quiet as I think! =) I guess that's apparent in this profile.

Send me an e-mail and maybe we can get something started.

I guess for a first date, I'd rather go to a quiet place where we could talk to get to know each other better. I'm guessing the typical answer to this question is meeting at a coffee place, but if you have a better suggestion, I'm open.
