I like to laugh and, although I am building my graphic and web design/marketing business, I set aside time to enjoy myself. I am articulate and conversant; interested in many things and involved with local politics and community service. I'm blond with hazel eyes. I would like to meet someone near my age who is willing to spend the time to get to know one another. Maybe go to a movie or out to dinner. I enjoy someone who can carry on a stimulating conversation and who shares some of my same interests.
I am originally from upstate NY, but have lived in the Arizona highlands almost 30 years. I enjoy meeting new people and love life. I am also thankful for good health and enjoy each and every day.

For a first date I would probably want to meet for coffee/tea or lunch and just get to know one another. I also think that you find out, within a short time of meeting, whether you feel any chemistry between you. Through correspondence and conversations, you already know if you even want to meet each other. I would hope for it to be a delightful, fun first date.
