Ok, down to business. I am going to start honestly and say that I can be rather shy when one first meets me, but that does change and when it does I can be very sarcastic and kind of a smartass, but I am also honest and I would never say something to deliberately hurt someone. I am not party girl, but I do enjoy getting together with friends for good food and a great glass of wine once in a while. Well I suppose I should say what I am looking for...I don't think I will though - not entirely. At the most basic level, I am looking for a decent guy headed in the same direction as I am. Personality, looks, attitude, employment status, etc. are all important aspects of that, but I am leaving it open because you never really know where you will find exactly what you are looking for. Often, the best things come in unlikely packages.

If you always do what you have always done, then you always get what you have always gotten. Oh my that is disproportionately profound (or it could just be stupid)

Good first dates really depend on the common interests of the two people coming together. Although I do think that experiences make for better first dates than coffee or drinks - though I am not opposed to either of those options. I just think that going to Pike Place Market or hiking down behind Snoqualmie Falls make for better dates because they create a bond between two people in a common experience.
