I am a college educated, 33 year old career female searching for what's missing in life! I'd love to find that special someone to travel with, grab a spontaneous lunch, or just cuddle on the couch. I enjoy spending my time reading a book or watching a good movie, and I like fine dining & a glass of wine. However, I can also hang out with the guys over a pitcher at the local Karaoke bar (just don't ask me to sing!)
As for the man I would like to find: approximate age of 32-41 would be nice, divorced or never married doesn't matter, I prefer a man who doesn't yet have children but eventually wants one or two. As for religion, a devoutly religious man won't do, but the church attendee who lives life by the golden rule is great! I would like to meet someone who lives in close proximity to me so that dates and lunches can be spontaneous and not so much "planned." He must be a non-smoker who does not use drugs and does not abuse alcohol. The more education the better, and a white collar job is great (I find the communication is better and I am more in tune with him). However, if you can form a complete sentence and spell in such a way I am not having to sound out your words, a blue collar job is fine! Wealth is not an issue, responsible money management is the importance. My ideal man should want a relationship and be open to marriage. He should be honest, thoughtful, affectionate, with an inquisitive nature and open to new experiences. It is important that he share my love of travel, cooking together, and enjoy a night in as much as an evening out.

Hmmm First Dates kind of depend on the mood. For a first meeting, I am very casual! A bookstore meeting or a cup of hot chocolate combined with good conversation is great. If there is chemistry, first dates can be wonderful! Usually dinner in a nice restaurant where you can hear each other talk, maybe a walk along the lake, and possibly dancing at a local club or a drive around town-depending on the mood of the evening! Cary Grant-esque style is a plus...
