I am interested in finding a smart, intellectual guy who loves to laugh and can laugh at himself. I am a pretty flexible person with diverse likes. I am passionate about my job and I would like to find a guy who is also passionate about what he believes in. I would like to find someone who is kind and generous spirited. Someone who is comfortable staying at home sitting by a fire and reading as well as dining out at an upscale restaurant. Someone who has fun at a ballgame and enjoys a walk on the beach. I am not interested in a one night stand. I would hope for a long term relationship starting with friendship and developing into perhaps a committed relationship over time. I love my animals and I would like to meet someone who also loves animals. Dogs are very good judges of character.I do believe today is a gift - have fun.

A first date might be a casual dinner alfresco or maybe lunch at a bookstore, maybe wine and conversation something easy, low pressure, relaxing.
