To know me is to love me. I am an affectionate, kind, and gentle woman. I get up front and personal in order to get a feel for who you are and what you are about. There is nothing phony about my personality. What you see is what you get. I am a die-hard romantic. I am not moody, and appreciate upbeat people who like to go out and party once in awhile OR in the alternative, like to kick back and enjoy a nice glass of red wine by the fireplace. I frown on criticism by others who look down on people who are less fortunate. I love to dance, travel as much as possible, see a good movie, and go to the theatre. I like men who are gentlemen and who respect women. I love animals of almost any kind, and I think people who have animals have a lot of love to give. It takes awhile to get to know me, because I am basically shy. I also appreciate a man who knows how to put himself together. I take great pride in the way I put myself together.

On a first date I would like to meet in an intimate setting for coffee or a drink somewhere.
