HI, I would like to start with talking a little bit about who I am looking for. In a perfect world, this would be my wish list. She is the type of person that lights up a room when she walks in. She smiles and laughs often. She gets along well with her family and has a close circle of friends. She is successful in whatever career path she has chosen. She is physically active and likes to try new activites. She cares about her health and her appearance. She is emotionally available.

I think there is a tendency to confuse meeting someone for the first time with going on a first date. The internet is a great place to meet people. We have the opportunity to expand our circle of frineds and meet people that might otherwhise have remained strangers for life. That first meeting can be magic or pure hell : )
But, it really is just meeting someone. Seeing if there is enough of a connection there, is there interest? So, the first meeting should be short, a bite to eat, maybe a cup of coffee.

The first date, happens later, and it should be a chance to learn more about the other person, but also to enjoy ourselves. The first date, can't be planned until you know a little bit about the other person and their interests.
