I really need more time for hobbies. Things that interest me are mentioned above, but are certainly not limited to that short list. I'm very open minded and appreciate others who have that in common.
I am picky.

If you email me and I don't respond, please don't be offended.
Good conversation trumps everything else. If you have nothing to say, don't bother contacting me. I consider myself to be an extremely passionate person, and am drawn to others who share my level of intensity.
I enjoy associating with people I can learn from. Tell me something that I don't know already. Teach me about a place I've never been. Show me something I haven't seen.
I'm a grown woman and not interested in training younger man. Please be a GROWN MAN before you contact me. My tastes run across a wide spectrum, but I'm generally attracted to men who are tall, dark and handsome -- for starters.
If you want to know more about me, just ask.

For a first date, I like to do something that allows for a lot of conversation. To me this usually equates to breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can tell a lot about a person by how they handle something as simple as a meal with a stranger. But, I'm open to suggestions and new experiences.
