I would like to meet a man who is a well rounded , self-assured (but not egotistical) with an awesome sense of humor (as life can be so serious and fast-paced that it needs humor injected into it in order to survive); and is a straight shooter, as that is what I am. It is also very important to me that he is open minded (open to new people, places, ideas and things). And most importantly, is a gentleman to the core who also believes that the foundation for a successful relationship is friendship first. It would also be great if he sees life as living it with no regrets as tomorro is only a possibility. And, hey, goes for all the gusto he can along the way.

Other qualities for my ideal man would include encouraging, supportive (as I would do the same) and doesn't mind being with someone who considers herself a free spirit who tries to see the glass 1/2 full -- living it with the dignity, style, and grace of Audrey, Katherine and Grace. I will warn you though that if you love your alcohol and/or into illicit drugs, or have a tendency to lie...Don't bother contacting me. I have been down that road one too many times and am not interested in the drama and chaos that goes along with it. Baggage? Well, I consider 1/2 full suitcases acceptable as I am focused on my end goals and do not have time to be distracted by lots of coddling.

P.S. Thanks for taking a look. By the way, Just consider me a modern woman who has old fashioned values and ideals at heart.

On a first date, I prefer to do something during the day as that takes the pressure off and there is a lot more to do during the day. I'm basically up for anything from grabbing a cup of coffee or a gelati to shooting pool, going for a motorcycle ride to miniature golfing or maybe hiking. I'm open to suggestions.
