UPDATE: I have lost A total of 0ver 60lbs from my heaviest...
I have dating, but the ultimate goal would be long term, but, that appears to frighten some people...lol...
After reading though a bunch of threads on the forum I have thrown caution to the wind and decided to swim with da fishes...I am kind, caring, fun, intellectual..I'm also passionate, impulsive, overly sentimental, romantic and an eternal optimist..I still believe in Santa Claus..I love innuendo and puns...I have a thirst for knowledge and my mother says my first word was "why"...

I'm fairly open minded, and being a libra, non judgmental and a smoother of conflicts...I'm sure I have many of the annoying female traits men lament about, but for the most part, I am a good person, and a very good friend. I think mean people suck... (have a keychain to that effect...)
There are many things I find attractive in men...wit, intelligence, romance,playfulness, masculinity, men who are taller than me (not hard to do..lol),
However, these are not requirements, just things I'm attracted to...I neither expect nor need a "perfect" man..just the perfect man for me...
I really , really miss the company of a man...just the talking,touching, sharing, goofing around, being happy just to be with them ...
BTW: I can't possibly do all those interests all the time..lol...they are all things I enjoy or collect..only some on a regular basis...and though I only officially have an associates degree ( in business///two majors though), I was only a few classes away from my bachelors in History ( goal was Phd)...life kinda intervened..lol...in other words I'm over edcuated and don't have the paper to prove it..lol...
I am a bit of an amateur poet...here is one of my favorites:
Silence Descends,
Soft as cat's paws.
In abrupt stillness,
I can hear God breathing.
In the recesses of my soul,
Someone whispers my name..
Are you ready?
Passion awaits.
On the precipice
of being swept away,
He leans over,
and kisses me.
Lightning strikes!
Thunder crashes!
I come home
through the eye of the storm...

Will be adding the links of my faves...
I like the usual movies, dinner, etc..but i have a wide range of interests..and I've been thinking lately that someone who would suggest something a little out of the ordinary would impress me. I do like an atmosphere that is conducive to being able to talk and hear each other, because that is how you get to know one another. Other than that I am open to suggestions. I really like the zoo.....
Update: 06/05/08...A friend recently gave me this quote..author unknown..and I think it is good enough to share: Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.
I strive for that...
