I am a communicative, perceptive, creative woman who is looking for a unique, artistic man with substance. I'm reasonable, caring, sweet, sometimes shy individual who enjoys analysis of human behavior and in depth conversations.

If all you have to say is "Hi" or "What's up", we probably will not click very well. In addition, when I view profiles and I see people who state "I like to have fun, hang out with friends, have a good time" that is very generic and tells me absolutely nothing about who you are. Who doesn't like to have fun or hang out? Tell me something with substance that helps define who YOU ARE.

I ask many questions as part of my job. Anyone who converses with me will most likely be asked a variety of different questions. This is not to be nosey but it is how I get to know who you are. In fact, what you say and what you do not say tells me a tremendous amount about the type of individual you are. I am a curious person by nature, especially when it comes to people and life experiences.

I do tend to be shy at first but open up once I settle into being in your company. I have my views and opinions and share them but will not ridicule you if you share a different viewpoint.

I enjoy a variety of activities and interests. They are as follows but not limited to: Reading, beading jewelry, museums, football, four wheeling, playing pool, watching a movie, swimming, cooking out, spending time with friends and family and good conversation.

I am a simple woman who is independent financially speaking and prefers to keep it that way. Believe it or not, I like paying my own bills - it provides me with a sense of satisfaction. I am creative, sensitive, sweet and communicative. I try to make anybody I am around feel comfortable and show that I am genuinely interested in them as an individual - romantically or just as a friend/family member.

Reliability is a must when I am looking to pursue a relationship. I am very reliable and I seek the same. I think it shows the other person respect for their time and effort. Although I am not high maintenance, when preparing for a meeting/date I naturally take longer to get ready. So it is a great courtesy to be reliable since preparations are made in advance. :)

Did you notice I didn't give a lengthy list of music I like? You see, this is completely irrelevant to developing a genuine relationship of any form. What does music have to do with an aspect of a relationship? I always skip past the lists of music and movies that people have in their profiles. I find it a bit useless. It tells me nothing of value about you.

Please feel free to ask a question if you would like to learn more. Be prepared for questions in return! :)

My ideal first date would be quite simple. I would enjoy something that would give us an opportunity to talk and learn about one another. Something like a walk around a park or a museum and perhaps dinner would be nice and provide plenty of opportunity for conversation. I am not a chatterbox necessarily - but I am a very good listener. I also am not materialistic, so I'm a cheap date. :)
