I love to cook, especially for those who appreciate a good meal and the hard work and effort that goes into it. I like to walk the beach with someone who can have a good conversation. I enjoy movies of comedy, drama, suspense and horror, although I hide my eyes at the really scary parts. I enjoy watching sports, especially football. I may not know the players or their positions, but I love to watch a good game whether at home or a sports bar with friends. I am a culinarian student and work part-time as a Legal Assistant in a small downtown law firm. I love a good laugh and a good time... I consider myself smart, adventurous, outgoing, and sometimes to be more of a social butterfly than a caterpillar in a cocoon. I enjoy my life with my kids and friends. I believe that..."you only live once so live it as if it was your yesterday." I have been separated for eight months and am in the process of a divorce... I respect my ex-husband and our friendship.. I am honest and expect the same from a friend, partner, etc.... I don't want any games....just someone real... I am looking for someone who can appreciate the "realness" and "fun" of who I am... I am a "what you see is what you get" type of person. I believe the adventure is in the journey.. not at the end of the road.... I stay busy and active...If you think you can keep up with me.... introduce yourself!

First dates should be simple. An opportunity to get to know each other. I think going to the movies or dancing takes away from that "getting to know you" time because of the distraction. I think coffee at Starbucks, meeting for lunch, or an outside festival would be nice.
