I am happy, open-minded, and focused.

I have been told more than once that I have “great altitude”. Meaning I relate to anyone and can talk about everything and anything (references upon request if needed). Just like many people who post their profile, I cover a wide range of interest and this profile could never tell you all the things that make me who I am. Things that make me different from the average person you might find include a passion for learning and exploring life, helping others through medicine and volunteer work, a love for art and being creative, and traveling the world (see above pics). Just in case you wanted to know more, I dance and dance pretty well. I cook and cook very well. To say I cover a lot of ground might be an understatement.

I don't really think the first date happens until the third meeting with someone. The first time is for figuring out if you want to get to the second time. The second time is to really see if you want to date the person. Then the third time is a date. So the first time we MEET will be something casual and relaxed. Drinks or dinner would be best, because no matter how much we talk on the phone or write random emails, chemistry really only happens face-to-face. It is funny that people want to waste hours of time writing emails or talking on the phone before they meet. I don't really understand why you waste time with 10 emails when meeting someone takes 1/100th the time and you know so much more in the end. Anyway, just a thought about this online experience.

As for a real "first date"... I love trying new things. Just FYI: If you get to the third date with a guy he is more than likely really interested. So by the time we have that "first date" I would try to impress by finding a cool show (play, musical, concert), some great event (art festivals, gallery opening, etc.) or maybe just do a Wal-Mart date, go shopping together, and cook you a homemade meal at home.
