I am an independent, intelligent woman in my late 20's. I enjoy the company of men but tend to feel smothered at times....so I need a man who shows his interest w/out scaring me off. I enjoy stand up comdey, working out, beach vacations, writing, running, walking my dogs, downtempo/electronica/triphop, and white wine. I love a man who can make me laugh, who is intelligent, and who takes care of himself physically and emotionally. I am not an alcoholic as my profile may indicate by 3 drinks/weekly, I simply enjoy my glass of wine or 2 after a long day of work...:)

I am not very good at 1st dates, but I think physical activity of some kind is a good way to get to know one another. Hiking, walking, site seeing, etc. The downside to that is going out into the woods/nature alone with a guy you barely know....I don't want to wash up on a shore somewhere ya know. Maybe that is best saved for a 3rd or 4th date...:) Maybe a light lunch/drink would be best @ 1st.
