Let me start off by saying i have kids(3). so if thats a problem move on. Now that thats out of the way let me tell you a little about myself.

I am a beautiful, smart, sexy, sweet,(can be kinda smart ass at times) down to earth kind of girl. I believe in karma, and you get what you put out in this world. I love conversation and debating anything from politics to the meaning of life, LOL :) My friends would describe me as being pretty laid back and easy to get along with. I love barnes & noble,(current favorite read is by Eckhart Tolle, and if you know who that is- would love to hear from you!) netflix, hiking, the beach,cooking sunday morning breakfast, starbucks, chocolate, strawberries, great food, a great wine or scrumptious martinis, warm summer nights, rainy days...

I am a pretty social person and love going out and trying new things. I enjoy going out to the occasional bar/club to just have a good time, meet new people, and people watch but, as a way of meeting someone for a relationship its just not my thing anymore.
I think anything can be fun when you are with the right person. I believe I have the amazing ability to have fun where ever I happen to be. :) LOL!!

YOU must be willing to try new things, have the ability to have a good time going out or just staying home and renting a movie. A guy that can handle himself in any type of social setting. Be it a dive bar or an upscale restaurant. You should be able to hold an intellectual conversation when the occasion calls for it. A balance of fun and smarts. Someone that knows what is important in life and has a good value system. Basically a guy that has it together. Oh, and a good sense of humor doesn't hurt :) I know this is alot, but at this point in my life I am confident of what I bring to a relationship and I know I dont need to settle. I already have a great life, I'm just looking for someone to share it with.
So if all this doesnt totally intimidate you then you are probably someone I would love to meet. Bring it on!

If you've actually read this all the way through type "pink hippo" in the subject line of your email that will score you lots of extra points! :) LOL

first dates are usually drinks/coffee
