I am looking for casual dating and/or friendship at first as I am not in any hurry to rush anything.

The right man for ME will respect that and be willing to take things slowly. A gentleman.

I admire strong character and integrity. They are the main ingredients of anyone that I would choose to spend time with.

That being said....I am looking for excitment, adventure, laughter and anything spontaneous....Well...almost anything !

I prefer vanilla over chocolate....
Warming my butt up in front of my fireplace before bed (one of my favorite things to do)....
Love Lazy Sundays...
Love the smell of a bonfire...especially in the fall.
I believe that heated car seats and remote car starters are the best inventions ever made !!!
Love full moons that light up the sky...
Calm, quiet, starry nights away from the city...
I make the BEST roasted (not burnt) marshmallows (One of the few times that I would consider myself to be extremely patient) lol
I'm intense when I'm happy or pissed !!!
I love listening to old people tell "Their story"
Only child
Sleeping with socks on...
Favorite colour is green...
I love cinnimon hearts...
Interesting
Warm, friendly, kind, genuine
Tim's (extra large, one milk, half a sweetener) stirred once to the left and twice to the right !!! LOL
I'm opinionated...while respecting others opinions...
I never pass a child raising money for anything and not participate (especially if It's chocolate !!!) What's a few extra hours on the elliptical !!!
I would typically be judged as a girly girl by most first impressions...I'm 100 % versatile...I go from one extreme to the other.

While I admit the purpose of being on here is to hopefully find someone that you are compatible with etc....

I would also welcome any friendships made along the way....

I don't usually put too much enthusiasm into messages, texts, winks, pictures, or even phone conversations. While they may contribute to the beginning of a nice friendship....they by no means are a good indicator of physical chemistry.

Of course I want fireworks the same as everyone else...but I'm searching for substance over sparks.

NOTE: Partying for me is typically work related. Conventions, dinners, christmas parties and golf outings. I am not into the bar scene nor am I interested in anybody that is.

I have come to realize that I'm not a big fan of the "first date" !!! LOL

I am a firm believer that there should be "rules" put in place before the date begins !!!

1. A clearly marked exit
2. "No kissing" on the first date
3. A time limit

This will alleviate any need for the dreaded "coffee" date....With a clear set of "rules" in place before the date starts, both parties involved have a common safety outlet. You can relax without pressure and hopefully (at bare minimum) enjoy an evening out with some intriguing conversation, a few laughs and a bit of fun.
I am not doing my hair and makeup for coffee....coffee is frickin boring !!! :o)
