How to come alive on paper; what would make the right person take a second look in this really big ocean? I am going to be on your top 10 list of those you've met that can capture and hold your attention. At the same time that I am a superb listener, I will have a great deal of contribution to the conversation.

I am warm, nurturing, kind and considerate; sometimes to a fault (I'm working on that).

New things fascinate me...from experiences to a pair of beautiful new shoes, to traveling to a new country and experiencing the people, sights and foods.

I love intellectual conversation, but I love just being goofy.

I love hanging around in my tennies, or dressing up for a black tie event.

There's nothing like watching a tear-jerker in bed, and nothing compares to busting a gut with uncontrollable laughter.

I love to compete, but if you're mine, I will be on the same page with you and have your back.

Guess I'm an old-fashioned girl with very new sensibilities that's looking to hold hands with someone when I'm 90 (sure, the beach at sunset is fine), talking about the latest trend.

I would love to be picked up at my house, but since that seems like a dangerous proposition...we can meet, and go somewhere that's not too rushed (hopefully you, in person, are what you pro port to be so I'm not counting the minutes to leave), and we have such great rapport that the waitress has to come over to take our order many times...but, we're just not ready.

Finally, we order...the food tastes great...everything seems enhanced because of our enjoyment of each other. It takes a long time to eat because there's so much to talk about.

At some point I excuse myself to go to the ladies room to text my best friend that I'm on the greatest date, ever!

We finally finish our dinner, and we talk, giggle, laugh and close the place down. Neither one of us can believe so much time has gone by but it's okay because we know it won't be long until we see each other again.

We make plans for the next time, even though you think you should follow the "man rule" of waiting 3 days. Some rules are made to be broken, right?

We part ways much to our dismay...maybe you call to make sure I got home okay.

I go to bed with a huge smile on my face. Everything just feels good and I can't wait to see you again.
