I am a nice, thoughtful person who is considerate of people and their feelings. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and that often gets me in trouble. I love to laugh and have fun. Family and friends are important to me because I know in the end they will always be there for me. I love swimming, running, Pilates, cooking, photography, eating, and also the outdoors.

I am looking for a guy who is kind, patient, easy to get along with, and a sense of humor is a must. I want a guy that believes chivalry is not dead and is willing to show some effort in making a woman feel loved, appreciated, and valued.

Please try to use proper grammar and punctuation when e-mailing me. I don't expect perfection but when I get an e-mail that is an entire paragraph long and has no punctuation, it is really annoying. To me, it shows laziness and disrespect to the person you're contacting.

A relaxed evening, maybe dinner and a movie, or a walk in the park. Maybe we could go putt putt golfing, that way if you turned out to be a jerk, I'd have something to hit you with....
