I am an attractive woman with eyes that sparkle, a smile that lights up my face, and I'm told beautiful skin for my age! I am attracted to a man's face first. His eyes, his smile and how he looks at me! I am smart, well educated and can hold my own in a conversation on most topics that would be of interest to men (except perhaps for certain sports). I am well-read, informed and can give my opinions on many issues. I draw from my life and work experience when I talk about a specific topic and my friends and colleagues see me as a person who thinks about the world and enjoys substantive people and experiences. I enjoy "meaty" conversations with men who have something to say for themselves and where conversation flows from topic to topic in an effortless manner. I prefer and am not intimidated by smart men and need someone in my life who can have an in-depth, open conversation.

I am very passionate about music, singing, acting, dancing and the arts in general. I am a lifelong participant in artistic and musical expression as a professionally-trained opera singer. It is a very fundamental part of who I am. It is somewhat important for me to meet a man who has at least a decent interest in music and the arts. He may not have to be an "artist", and he does not have to love opera, but if he is looking to meet a woman who could introduce him to or broaden his horizons in that world, then I would be the girl for him.

I exhibit integrity at a very high level and it is very important to me that the man I'm with have a similar relationship with his own integrity. I am my word. If I say that I will do something then I will do it, if I say I will be somewhere then I will be there. I am an incredibly well-organized person in both my personal and professional lives.

I have a life that works, friends and family that love me, baggage that has been dealt with, a roof over my head, a good job, and I am able to take care of myself. It is important that my man has his life together and is not looking for me to sort him out emotionally, financially or organizationally. I want to be with a man who operates honorably and addresses and is accountable for his responsibilities in life. While I am independent, I'm looking for a guy who will want to take care of me, adore me and make me happy as his partner in life. I will be sure to reciprocate and take care of him, too!

I am not stuck in a world of limited experiences and an unwillingness to try new things or be open to new ideas. While I enjoy certain things and experiences like going to the movies or having a lobster dinner, I am always open to new cultural, artistic or travel experiences. I have a big zesty appetite for life and living. I am almost always up to something. I am open to suggestions on new places, experiences and things to try or do while I have certain preferences that can always make me happy. I have a great spirit of adventure.

I am looking for a man who is vital and energetic and knows how to treat a lady and how to have fun in life. We have only one life and I want to enjoy it to the fullest.
P.S. No pets, no smokers, no facial hair (allergic and unfortunately, very sensitive skin! Thanks!

On our first date, we would go somewhere we can talk (not in a loud place where you are sitting on top of the people at the next table). We could have brunch, drinks or a lovely quiet dinner to see what kind of connection is there between us. We could go for a walk, start at the flea market and end up at a little cafe. We could walk through a museum and share our thoughts about the art and sculpture. So many things are possible and I'm open to many...what do you think? Oh, if there is that connection, that chemistry...a goodbye kiss in anticipation of the second date.
