I am a chameleon and I change according to where I am and who I am with. I am looking for a really good friend which potentially might lead to romance and long-term commitment or perhaps just a friend. I would describe myself a little like a wild horse and I shy away at first if I feel crowded but I can be very loyal and passionate once I feel comfortable with someone. I am intelligent, analytical, fun with the right person, and I often find humor in myself and in life even when I have just fallen face first into the mud. I have a lot of integrity and I expect my friends to have that too.

I am looking for someone who is smart, curious, adventurous, a little bit competitive, (operative word - a "little" bit) culturally literate, self-supporting, moderately athletic, non religious, but at the same time has some sense of spiritual philosophy about life. We all need meaning and our own set of ethics but I don't believe it necessarily has to come from someone else's established beliefs. I am interested in a man who is passionate, warm, able to make me laugh, kind, and empathetic. I appreciate a man who knows how to cook, and even better, how to clean up afterwards. I love to cuddle on the couch while having long discussions on any topic (whether they are intelligent or quite silly). A little intellectual stimulation occasionally is necessary to keep a girl like me happy. It also helps if you have a curious nature and are open to other viewpoints. I rarely turn down a good massage and I'm happy to return the favor.

I like a clean cut, discerning man who can comfortably move from jeans and a T-shirt to a nice suit. I am quite tall (5' 9 1/2") with some curves in all the right places. I respect my body and take care of it. If you want me to be interested in yours, you will too. I prefer someone who is a bit taller and larger than myself and veres towards athletic. I can be described as a casual person at heart and almost never wear makeup but occasionally I like to wow the world and transform into Cinderella.

Want to take me to the ball?

Afraid you don't meet the requirements for Prince Charming? Well, you'll never know if you don't try.

As for my philosophy???
Here's something I got off of a box of Celestial Seasoning tea that sums up a few of the principles I like to live by:

The Wisdom of Daily Life

1. Watch a Sunrise at least once a year.
2. Plant flowers every spring.
3. Look people in the eye.
4. Compliment 3 people every day.
5. Live beneath your means.
6. Choose your Life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90% of all your happiness or misery.
7. Live so that when your children think of Fairness, Caring & Integrity, they think of you.
8. Don't postpone joy.

Think casual. Simple. No pressure. Keep it short. Remember, you don't have to tell me your entire life story on the first date. You will need to save some of that for the second date.

I love dogs especially big loveable ones so feel free to bring one along and we can go for a walk.

Must not smoke
