I'm an easy-going, happy girl who appreciates honesty and respect for people in general. Ultimately, I want a solid, meaningful relationship, but don't believe in rushing into one. Chemistry is vital and I'd like to meet the man who, when I look at him, he takes my breath away and there's no other place I want to be, and I know he feels the same. To get there, you have to have fun and date around, so here it is: My guy has to be honest, strong, attractive, intelligent, secure in who he is, have a great sense of humor, and somewhat stylish (no rebel flag t-shirts please). Ability to cut-up and have fun, and a positive outlook are non-negotiable requirements. The right guy would like snuggling at home, but can also enjoy nights out partying it up a bit---drinking, dancing, or just hanging out at the local pub laughing and having a blast. I love the simple things: cookouts, good friends, cold beer, great conversation, dancing, the lake or the pool, the ocean, playing in the snow, wild nights out, curling up with a good movie and a fire in the winter months--I simply adore being outdoors most of the time in good weather. I'm an extremely positive person---my life is mostly great; one thing missing is that man to take my hand and hold onto it tightly. I like to have fun, but truly understand that sometimes love takes mutual work, will, and respect, and I say bring it. If you're negative or boring, you are an alien from another planet and I probably don't speak your language. You're also disqualified if you constantly butcher the english language. I love good music, from Petty to STP to Metallica to country. MC Hammer and the big hair bands from the 80's still make me smile, as does some disco and motown. I'm a beginning tennis player and do the gym as well. Although I do drink and smoke, I'm in good shape, and work to stay that way. If you meet the above qualifications, drop me a line--I'd love to hear from you.

Drinks, appetizers, good conversation and fun. I think after an hour of conversation, both people know if there's some chemistry or not. If so, great. If not, have fun, be polite and say goodnight. Attraction matters.
