Now that it's getting a bit cooler, it would be nice to have that special someone to cuddle with during those cold nights while watching a movie and having a nice cup of hot chocolate. Having said that, here's a little about me.

I am smart, witty, charming, intelligent and somewhat creative. I love to read, cook, go to the movies, playing monopoly, scrabble and poker. I recently discovered an interest in photography. I took the photo the one of the orchid that I made. Yes, I made that orchid. I don't know what else to tell you about me. It's amazing how when I am asked to fill these types of things about myself out how speechless I become. I suppose I don't like babbling on about myself. Ask and you will find out.

How about I tell you what I am looking for. Well, I would prefer a long term relationship but dating is cool too. LOL, well I suppose you can't just jump into a long term relationship without some form of dating. I guess I am trying to say that I am not interested in anyone that's just looking for a booty call (that includes serial booty calls) that's the bottom (no pun intended) line.

I like guys that are intelligent, articulate and have ambition. I am not very picky -just have all your teeth, hair, bathe on a regular basis, brush your teeth, must like shopping, must be able to spell, must be able to cook, knows how to garden, clean finger nails and must NOT be a smoker. JOKING!!!!!!! OK let me clarify because I am not joking about everything I have listed previously. I really can't stand cigarette smoke so I try to stay away from smokers. If you can't cook that's ok. I don't mind cooking but you had better be darn good at doing dishes because I am not going to feed you and do the dishes too. Oh, and at least pick up a bottle of wine!

OK on a serious note, I am not that picky. (I think I am in denial). As long as you have good hygiene, do not smoke or use drugs and take care of yourself I am happy.

After some of the messages I have received, I think I really need to be a bit more explicit about my preferences. So here goes.

First of all, I think if I took the time to make a profile then the least you could do is read it instead of messaging me to ask me questions you could have found out on my profile.

Please message me before deciding to I.M. me.

When you do decide to message me, please have something more to say other than, "Hi baby or hi sweetness. I am not your baby nor do you know how sweet I am!!

If you don't have a picture of yourself on your profile and you message me, please enclose a picture. It's only fair - balanced reciprocity.

Before I forget, photos should be of you not the scenery. Don't get me wrong I love looking at nice photos however when you post a pic and I need to go dig up a magnifying glass just to make you out then that's an issue.

Also, please make an attempt to type in English, I do not speak Ebonics and I certainly can't read it.

Yes messages like this and ones that look similar -wow your sexy,think i look good?- are promptly deleted, don't expect a response either.

Finally, I don't date based on skin color however I do have a preference for Caucasian men.


Please be 28 or older.

An ideal first date would be one where we can meet in a comfortable environment and chat while we get to know a bit more about each other. It does not have to be meeting for coffee (I hate coffee) however, going to a movie on a first date is not really conducive to getting to know more about a person.
