Have you ever read a profile and said "wow, I have to meet this person?" Sure, I agree with you, it's hard to try and capture your essence in a few sentences. I was born and raised in California but have been fortunate to travel a bit, here and overseas. My family and friends are important to me and I would rather have a few treasured friends than a ton of acquaintances. I am spontaneous and always up for a new adventure. I like animals and have 2 dogs. I like the finer things in life but truly appreciate the simple moments too. I am not sure that this "shopping cart" of love approach will work but it is worth a try. My music interest is all over the place I even like some country lol but it is my least favorite. Whether we talk or not, I hope you find all that you seek. I smile a lot and like to make those around me happy.

I think some things should be a surprise. If you really want to know what it could be then we are going to have to meet and find out. In general I don't think first dates should be overly romantic though. More relaxed, interesting, fun, and in a setting that we are both comfortable in so we can actually talk and get to know each other a little. I am not a fan of the really fast meet and greet, if you don't want to invest the time in getting to know someone, why waste the time of going for a coffee? I am not saying I wouldn't do that, just that it's not what I would consider a date.
