I'm an active, intelligent, funny and warm woman who's looking for a life partner to be my best friend, lover, and partner in crime. A dear friend said he likes me so much because I'm "real" and very interesting. I know my way around the kitchen and the board room and am an involved and fun-loving mom. My boys' friends think I'm a fun, pretty and very nice mom, and that's a high compliment to me. I love cheering my sons on from the soccer sidelines as much as I adore riding my road bike around the hills of Portola Valley and Woodside. I always look for the light within people and am an optimist. I guess the downside to that is that I can be gullible at times, because I'm trusting, but I'm getting more savvy as time goes by. My best match is a man who is kind, funny, intelligent, athletic, motivated and family oriented yet adventurous. Of course, if you're handsome, that's pretty nice, too! Sound like you? If so, I'd love to hear from you!

I'm flexible when it comes to a first date. I'm happy to meet for coffee or a glass of wine or to take our dogs -- or just my dog if you don't have one -- on a walk. I'm friendly and am a good conversationalist, so even if we don't click immediately I'm pretty sure you'll have a nice time. I'm not one to put pressure on anyone. If chemistry is there on both sides, that's great. If not, no worries, it's always nice to meet a new person and learn about different views on life.
