In a relationship I am most passionate about affection, including physical affection, pda (public displays of affection), shared laughter, and enjoying the sense of a man's strength and power, whether it is his physical strength (picking me up, grabbing me into his arms, etc.!), his strong personality in making decisions and superior intellect in discussions, or appreciating his confidence in conversation or interaction with others. I love to be the admiring woman beside a man who can easily command others with his humor or natural authority.

The love of my life's greatest gift to me is his humor, he uses humor in every situation and he loves more than anything to make me laugh. He shows his love by making me laugh even (or especially) in bad times.

Also, since I am tall, it is important for him to be at least 6 feet.

Things I love doing: frisbee in Sheep Meadow (Central Park), backgammon (I run a backgammon group which meets once a week), swing dance and salsa, hiking, piano playing, exploring NYC and other out of the way places with someone special, critiquing restaurants, cooking and baking, dinner parties, and last but not least; soaking in warm salt water on a carribean island when I can :)

I am a very warm, affectionate, supportive woman with a boundless supply of love to give the right man.

My preference for a first date is meeting for a drink only, eating is just a distraction when you're trying to get to know someone. A drink after work, coffee before work or on a lunch break - just something to whet your whistle while you're talking up a storm~!
