My friends would describe me as outgoing, friendly and easily excitable. My grandmother always said I could strike up a conversation in an elevator. I sincerely enjoy people and engaging conversation. I always try to look on the bright side of things. It is important to me to be liked by others. I enjoy a wide variety of things from the theater to amusement parks. I love to learn and enjoy being in the company of anyone that I can learn from. I really miss being the "taxi" driver for my two children as they are now grown and off my payroll. I am an only child and have been showered with attention all my life. I'm a little bit spoiled, but in a good way. I give 110% at anything I am passionate about. I am sensitive to the needs of others and affectionate. I have a wonderful job at which I feel successful and am goal oriented.

My perfect match would be a lot like me. . .have similar interests as I and would be an optimist. He would be friendly and smile often (beautiful teeth are a plus). He is confident, yet not arrogant, and is successful in whatever he attempts to accomplish. He will be as excited about me as I am about him. He will enjoy holding my hand as we walk in public and will open doors for me. He is a gentleman and knows how a lady should be treated. He will respect my opinions and will agree to disagree instead of engaging in conflict. He is healthy and drug free. I am looking for someone who is easy to be with. He is comfortable and at ease among strangers and interacts without me having to be beside him. It is important to me that he be accepted by my friends and family. . .and that I am accepted by his. I enjoy planning ahead for dates/events. 50% of the joy is in anticipating the fun we will have. At times he is spontaneous and unpredictable. He is intelligent, honest, dependable, sensuous, sensitive, lovable, witty, and a good conversationalist.

I prefer to meet somewhere fairly quiet so we can have conversation and get to know more about each other. A fairly short first date is good...perhaps coffee or a diet coke. If things click, then perhaps a second date would be in order.
