I think my best feature is my smile and I use it constantly. I have alot to smile about. I have a great family: my parents are still giving me advice, accomplished, independent children, the most wonderful friends and one of the luckly ones to still have a job. I am affectionate, optimistic, playful, intelligent, creative, classy, dependable, outgoing, and healthy, both mentally and physically. I love the outdoors be it going for a long walk, a hike, gardening or enjoying a glass of wine on the patio. I encourage intimacy both intellectual and physical and feel a relationship is doomed without it. I enjoy a spirited give and take of ideas and love learning from others. I enjoy eating well, cooking and entertaining friends and family. I think anything you do with the right partner can be fun. As much as there is still a lot of little girl in me, I also have a serious side. I have a strong work ethic, honest almost to a fault, a generous heart, and trusting until you give me a reason not to. I feel lucky to have such a full glass, and hope to meet a special man to make it overflow.

First date should be relatively simple. A quiet place to see if what is on paper translates face to face. A glass of wine, a casual meal, an opportunity to get to know one another, see if there is any chemistry. It is obvious when both feel it, and leads to the second date.
