I won't bore you with a long prose about my hobbies. I know this online dating thing is sometimes a crapshoot and the best thing to do is have an interest, communicate to get a feel and then meet. Besides a lot of what people put on their profiles is inaccurate and fluff (boy did I learn that the hard way).

To sum up: I am a catch. I am intelligent, diligent, educated, mature, devoted to my family, friends and pets. I am a kind-hearted person and beautiful inside and out, if I may toot my own horn.

I am looking for someone of class, honesty, intelligence and couth. Someone with their priorities straight. If you are looking for sexual encounters only then there are plenty of sites for you...you don't have to be here. You're not for me.

Physical stuff: I don't need a super-hunk, but I don't want someone slovenly either. Attention to personal appearance is a must. There has to be an attraction, naturally. I prefer non-smokers (I'm a former smoker myself and finally rid myself of the habit..I guess it was easier for me because I was never a heavy smoker). And please, no heavy drinkers either. Definitely NO chain smokers! If you are, then you are automatically excluded. Yuck! :)

Character and kindness and class go a long way. If you feel you make the grade, I would love to hear from you.

Sometimes that requires prior discussion. There are a lot of fun options if you think and research. And with the weather in Minnesota, how can you really try to ever make plans? Sometimes you gotta be very impromptu! Loud bars are not always the only options.
