I grew up in Massachusetts, and yes I am a Patriots and Red Sox fan. I've been in the military since 2003 and I'm the oldest of 2 other children in my family. I'm 1/2 Italian and 1/2 French, but I'm better at being an Italian!

I'm a romantic at heart, and tend to give it my all right up front which tends to have my heart crushed a lot. I'm not a self-absorbed person, except when I'm sick or upset. I prefer to wear jeans and a tight shirt or sweatshirt most days, and will get dressed up for occasions. I'm a laid-back type of girl who loves to cook and bake.

My ideal match would be someone who shares the same intrests as I do. I'd like someone who can have full trust in someone up front like I do. Someone who is honest and open. I want to find someone who not only can be my friend, but my partner too. Someone who is family oriented.

I must say that I can be very hard to deal with. I can be very stubborn and very opinionated too. Sometimes I can be the girl you want to chicken-choke, but at the same time give a hug to and say "your too cute". I'm like the girl next door.

I'm not too sure what I would do on a first date. Something fun and exciting for sure, and maybe make an afternoon into evening of it. It would probably be something at a lake or beach...because I'm a romantic and would love to walk along the sand at night getting to know someone more. Maybe a theme park or something "fun" where laughter would be a given to ease up the ackwardness that may occur...nothing is worse than ackwardness on a first date!
