I am a full time artist/designer with one son (who does not live with me) I am well travelled and educated and at this point in my life enjoy being single, I enjoy great conversation ,music,dancing,poetry, and just about anything that mentally stimulates me.I do believe in love when the time is right,I love animals and men with great legs and beautiful eyes. I am passionate and adventurous and would like the same in a partner.I do not like country music , grits,bad manners, control freaks and selfish people.I am very excited about my new career goals and wake up most days with a happy heart.The man for me has to not be afraid to speak his mind, a faint heart just will not do!,and above all must be sensual.

UPDATE: I UNDERSTAND SOME PEOPLE DO NOT READ THE PROFILE , JUST A WASTE OF TIME SAYING WHAT I DO NOT WANT BUT I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN IN PLAIN ENGLISH:
DO NOT CONTACT ME IF...

YOU ARE MARRIED ,NO PHOTO ,NO PHOTO, NO PHOTO NO CONTACT BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHY ...JUST A DECIEVER RIGHT?,20-30YRS OLD OH PLEASE!,DO NOT HAVE SIMILIAR INTERESTS, A ROLLING DRUNK ,LOOKING FOR A ONE NIGHT STAND ,A SCORPIO MAN,AND THE BEST ONE OF ALL A PLAYER....YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?.... THE SO CALLED NICE GUY WHO HAS UMPTEEN WOMEN ON THE GO , AND NEVER CALLS YOU WHEN THEY SAY THEY WILL...IF THATS YOU?....STAY AWAY!!!!!

I think a dinner date is a good Idea,it does not have to be fancy or expensive but the atmosphere must be romantic and intimate , a good place for conversation and body language... and besides I want see if your lips are the ones I want to kiss at the end of the evening (are you scared yet ha ha).Any other kind of activity is fine but do not suggest a walk on the beach because you do not want to buy dinner unless you think it is worth it!....that does not sit well with me.I think talking to someone before you meet can give you a good idea as to whether you have a connection or not, life is a game of chance and opportunities...why have it any other way.
