I'm looking for: a reliable, honest, stable, drug-free, real down-to-earth, mature, intelligent guy to chill with and spend quality time. Can you carry on a conversation? The most intelligent man I know has had no formal college education, so a self learner is just as "worthy" in my book. I would love someone who is into rock music, science, foreign relations/ politics/ geography/ history (I want to learn more), perhaps has a unique culture to teach me about, someone with visions/ dreams/ goals, and insight, a good debater, and has their own unique interests and hobbies. I am attracted to a guy with an skinny-average or athletic build. I am health conscious and (warning) will criticize eating fried food or any other crap American food! Touch is really important to me... so a guy who plays with my hair or scratches my back steals my heart! A man who can play an instrument or is artistic or philosophical always gets my attention! Since I am a shop-aholic and really into fashion/ fashion design, its ok if you hate shopping, but even better if you want to accompany me on my trips to try on cute outfits and give your opinion. I am a sucker for handy men with intelligence. Someone to spend time with me and cuddle during the cold winter months! Also, a person who likes to go out once in a while on weekends and enjoy playing pool, dancing, seeing a live show, grabbing dinner, seeing a movie or theater show, etc.

I am NOT looking for: hip-hop/ gangster types, meat heads (I do not need to see self-taken pictures of you showing every muscle in the mirror), flashy men who think that money will buy them a date with me, guys that go tanning or dress/ accessorize more than me, anyone younger than 26 or older than 38 (DO NOT CONTACT ME PLEASE), people who just want to play around, live a million miles away, or guys that are too into themselves. You must have a path in life and have a good work ethic - no lazies! And no I will not give you access to my Facebook, unless we really get to know each other in person. Reason being is that I have family and co-workers on there and need to keep it that way - PG! Pet peeves - bad kissers, people that interrupt me or others during a conversation or a movie, guys that think I will watch sports with them all the time - get together with your buddies for that!, winter sports (I absolutely hate the cold, so I do not frequent the ski slopes, but I do go once a year or so), and guys with no manners!...Use a napkin, utensils, maybe open the door for me, act like a gentleman!

About me: I am 28 (Aries) even though my profile is lying about that, I cannot change it after 2 weeks of signing up, but it is true! 5'5, 120lbs brown hair and blue eyes. Italian, Portuguese, Irish, Scottish, Armenian, and German - whew! Raised Catholic, but do not practice any religion - Buddhism is the closest I have found, but dancing is my religion for now. I am a hard working girl from the Boston area originally. My best qualities: honest, reliable, loyal, passionate, caring, gives good advice, thrifty, artistic, adventurous, good taste in music, open minded, and friendly. Qualities I could improve on: impatience, overbooking my schedule (doing too much), tardiness, speeding/ road rage, finding a good guy, and being a control freak. I am a salsa dance instructor at a ballroom studio... Also into martial arts (Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do),eating healthy and taking care of my body. I will never let myself go! I am really clean and kind of a control freak with that stuff. I am hyper-attentive to people and tasks, so you will always have my undivided attention and I would expect somewhat of the same when we are together. I will not sleep with you right away, so get that idea out of your head guys! I am VERY picky and I take my time until I am convinced it will actually work out. My political views are pretty strong. I prefer people who are open minded, to say the least and generally happy. I have 3 cats and live with roommates, work M-F 10-6 in the biopharmaceutical industry and have serious long-term career goals in making impacting modifications to the "healthcare system versus the pharmaceutical companies versus the patients" for chronically ill patients. Ask me more - it is a long serious goal! Also, down the road opening a non-profit boutique to benefit fashion students (internship) and proceeds to cancer (and other) research. I absolutely love going out on the weekends (who doesn't?). I do not frequent techno clubs filled with 21 year olds or 'girls gone wild' (I am more mature than that - Spring Break ended a few years ago!) - I like a unique scene with mature, fun people. Music tastes: anything rock... I am new to this online dating, but basically I want to date one guy at a time (kissing a different guy every week would jut be gross and weird). I'm looking to date and see where it goes, but eventually I would want something more long term. So, I guess that is enough info for now! Any questions?

I love to catch a good movie and grab dinner. I also love to play pool or some other fun activity... live show is the way to my heart... whatever, as long as I can see what you are all about!
