Thoughtfully spontaneous, cautiously adventurous, frugally extravagant, energetically grounded woman seeking complementary companion. Be happy, secure, focused, strong, humorous, relaxed, intellectual, patient, curious, compassionate, kind, accepting, communicative, generous of self, affectionate, playful, and a leader by example.

Never married, no kids (and no cats, so no spinster jokes!!!)....but absolute animal lover. Very serious about career and enjoy going to work every day; sometimes married to the job but vulnerable to kidnapping!!

Just as serious about fun and relaxation. Can shut down the clubs or spend hours bobbing in the sun on the lake. As likely to doll up in a little black dress as to braid down and jump on the back of your bike. Often "Julie Cruise Director" to those needing a social chair, but happy to just say "yes" to someone else's planning. And if you have the time and freedom to travel, well, let's just say Julie's going to put in a few extra hours!

Like to fish as long as we're cooking it for dinner (of COURSE I throw the little ones back!); enjoy walking and hiking, especially where there's lovely scenery or a great destination (I'm a passport-carrying NPG); been known to go camping where there's running water (and cold mountain streams do count), though truthfully it's been a while so I might need a bit of acclimating to get back into the fun of it!

I appreciate a partner who enjoys guy time just as I enjoy girl time, and keeps it in balance with together time. And together time doesn't have to mean doing the same things at the same time--it can mean doing different things in the same room and sneaking a spontaneous, wordless smooch every now and again. It's all about staying connected (not codependent!) whether near or far.

Comments from friends and strangers: "Where do you get all your energy?" "Do you ever slow down?" "Do you ever stop smiling?" "You're not high maintenance, you just have expectations" (from a guy friend, mind you!)

First meet: grab a drink or a casual bite to eat, chat A LOT, laugh even more (assuming we click!), and have fun deciding on a first date!

First date: ride go-carts, run color commentary (quietly) in a movie, eat sushi, dance the Sweetheart Schottische, watch a football game, have a picnic, laze on a beach, see Blue Man Group.
