I have always been a very passionate person. The things I do and the way I live my life certainly embrace this about me, and others seem to find it inspiring. It is a very sweet compliment, but really I am just being myself. However that may come across.

I have a lot of interest and curiosities, but I never get too extreme about anything in particular. Sometimes I think it's FANTASTIC because I explore and enjoy so many unexpected things! Other times I wish I could say that I have something specific that I am fanatical about!

I love a good hike and to camp, but I am not an REI junky. I love to travel but it is not my goal to explore every inch of each continent. I love the ocean and can never be too far away from it, but I have no intentions of sailing around the world. I love live music, but I can't say that I have ever followed any artist I love around on their tours. I think you get my point! I just love a lot of stuff and I'm much more laid-back and appreciative about it than addictive and obsessive!

I am very active and lead a pretty healthy lifestyle in regards to nutrition and exercise. I enjoy cooking healthy meals and experimenting with new recipes and fresh ingredients! I also enjoy being out in the fresh air, moving my body and I am working with a personal trainer to reach my goals. In spite of all that I am also a full-figured woman so you must be able to appreciate that I am soft, curvaceous, and very feminine. I embrace my body as it is, though I think no matter who you are it is always important to keep your body healthy and make improvements as you can.

It's almost a joke to attempt to predict "what I am looking for" because if life has proven anything at all, it is that life is unpredictable! I am hoping to meet a man who is a truly good hearted person. I am a very loyal and loving person and the man I am with would always know where they stand with me. Love, support, and respect are each very important in relationships and they must be exchanged mutually. I guess I am just hoping to find someone who shares at least a similar foundation in their relationships. Someone who is not afraid to be himself with me and whom I can look up to and be inspired by.

Oh, well that AND you must be able to laugh and enjoy life! A fun and playful sense of humor is something I absolutely seek!!

The first time you meet someone from online it seems best to just do something simple so you can take the time to talk and get to know each other better. If things go well and a real first date is planned, it would be fun to explore something new for both of us. Maybe an unusual restaurant, a comedy show, a museum or just shoot some pool and share some****ails. It all kind of depends on the type of energy we seem to share I suppose.
