I'm just the girl next door trying to find her guy. I like to go out just as much as staying in. I'm close to my family and friends and we have some crazy memories together. I like the beach, concerts, coffee, hanging at the bar, sleep, dogs, kids, reading, and being with my friends. My match should have a good head on his shoulders, have goals, be funny, be respectful, and like me for me. Some dislikes are mushrooms, bad drivers, liars, and cheaters. I'm not going to list all the characteristics for a match because I don't think you can have it totally figured out. I just bought a townhouse, have a good job and great friends..the only piece missing is a guy to share it all with. If you're a chill guy and you want to know more then send me a message!

I think the first date depends on the two people going on the date. Dinner is always a good bet because everyone needs to eat and you can talk and get to know each other. Meeting for a drink, coffee, or ice cream is also an opportunity to talk. Something different can be fun too like going to the beach, going to a sporting event, going mini-golfing, walking around town/city, going to a touristy type spot. I think as long as your both having fun and getting to know each other any first date can be good as long as there is an attraction.
