Like anybody else on here, I am hoping to meet someone who sets off that spark of interest. Actually, I am looking for the whole darn fireworks, not just a spark - you know, the kind of connection where you could talk all night about nothing and everything, where you can't keep your eyes and hands off one another.

Witty conversation, a sense of humour, an adventurous spirit, integrity and intelligence turn me on. Sitting on a restaurant patio drinking a glass of red wine, going to the art gallery, seeing a play, trying out a great Sunday morning brunch spot, going to listen to live music or finding a quiet spot to talk, connect and laugh are things I would enjoy doing with someone else. I do these things by myself sometimes too. (Well, I don't tend to talk to myself out in public!!!)

I am the type of woman who will start a pillow fight or suggest running out for pancakes at 3am or go disco bowling or dance in the Hare Krishna parade as it goes through my neighbourhood. I have a sense of adventure and like to indulge my whimsical side. I like to transform the every day mundane into fun as much as I am able. I intend to live my life to the fullest! I am fortunate to have a meaningful and fulfilling career which makes it easy to get up in the morning and go to work. I think that kissing is a lost art. I love to make-out like I did when I was a teenager.

I hate writing profiles - I feel a bit like a sleazy car salesman. What can I say about myself? I think I am relatively intelligent, reasonably attractive, silly, kind (I think that the word "kind" is under-rated in this day and age), passionate and adventurous. I think that's all that I can handle saying at this point. You can ask me 20 questions if you like!

I have to admit that I am a bit of a skeptic about meeting my "soul mate" on an online dating site, but I am DEFINITELY not looking for a one night stand or "hook up". Going out, enjoying one another's company and seeing what happens is more like it!

A first date can encompass so many things, but conversation is key!
