One of my friends recently said that I look like a guy that is in touch with his inner child. I don't think I can best that, but here goes...

I like discovery...of people and what makes them tick...of places I have never visited and their history...of that rare under-priced and undiscovered bottle of red...and a woman who gets my humor and can dish some of her own.

I fully appreciate that "the finer things in life" have nothing to do with material things.

Enough about me...NOW ABOUT YOU:

You are an educated, non-smoking, and outdoorsy kind of gal. Being in nature revives you and replenishes your spiritual cupboard. You have dresses alongside the jeans in your closet to wear to a play or a garden party.

You also like traveling, history, and controlled risk adventures, and are young and fit enough to keep up within reason. If you can best me, kudos to you...until the next adventure, grasshopper :)

You believe The Golden Rule is a pretty good idea, a simple standard to implement, and is how you try to lead your life. In that vein, your pics are recent and you have not lied about your age.

You believe that chemistry between two people is a must-have before a romantic relationship can begin, and it is quickly discovered to exist or not exist.

You further believe that discovery of how well your potential partner's core values align with yours is instrumental in either amplifying that beginning chemistry or destroying it...and that discovery requires time spent together.

Whew! That's a whole lotta believin' going on, eh? Well, if you've waded this far, why not go for a swim? The shark net is up...

First dates are simple and oriented around conversation. It could be a walk, a sunset glass of wine at the beach, or an afternoon at the Getty.
