No kids! I don't want any and I don't want to deal with someone else's. Only like being the cool aunt where the kids go home after a few hours.

I like to go see live music and live theater. There is just something about being there in the experience that you cannot get from listening to a CD or seeing a movie. One of my other big interest is cooking. I like to try new dishes and only repeat recipes I really like. I usually end up making too much food though. My friends always benefit from when I make too many cookies. I hate doing dishes that come with cooking, so I don't end up cooking as much as I want. I also enjoy just having a beer and hanging out with friends once in a while.

No dogs or cats. I'm allergic to most furry animals. So if you are attached to your flurry pet, there is someone else out there that is a better match.

I'm looking for someone that has some shared interest but will also introduce me to new activities. I like to be trying and learning new things. I also want someone that doesn't mind spending a night at home just relaxing as long as it is not every night.

Casual. Relaxed. Nothing expensive (under $10 a person). Drinks or lunch (no fast food chains for dates) where we can talk to get to know each other initially. There is nothing wrong with just going to get a beer to talk over. If the first date goes well, then there will be more.
