I'm a classy, sexy, open-minded woman ... pretty intense but love to laugh and have fun. I'm spiritual, perceptive, big on communication, very giving and loving, rather expressive, adventurous, playful, and quirky. I'm passionate about the things that are important to me. I live life to the fullest and am a risk-taker. I'm not a partier. Don't really drink much and prefer a quiet night in to any kind of scene. If any of that seems contradictory, it's really not :)

Currently going for my Master's in oriental medicine and am looking forward to helping others heal themselves.

I'm looking to meet someone who either wants a relationship or might be ready for that at some point in the future (should we really click). In other words, no serial daters. But chemistry is key, so until we meet, we won't know if it's there.

I'm interested in substance, not money or status. Someone who is down-to-earth, grounded, has a good heart and is able to share himself with me. What impresses me are people who are honest, caring, and treat others the way they would like to be treated.

I tend to be attracted to men who are off-beat, quirky, open-minded, adventurous, creative, unconventional, silly, quick-witted, spiritual, and intelligent. I'm not finding too many of those guys on LI, unfortunately, and fewer still where there is mutual chemistry. I am turned off by super-opinionated, narrow-minded people, as well as people who are overly impressed with themselves. Confidence is hot ... arrogance is not. Opinions are great, but it's important to respect others' viewpoints. And you never know what has shaped another's life and why they might have the views they do.

I look exactly like my pix, say 9 out of 10 people I meet. The guy I met today is apparently delirious ;-) I'm usually told I look better in person. These are pix of the real me, not the ones that make me look my very best. I'm 43 but people usually think I'm in my early-mid 30's. I tend to date guys in their 30's and that seems to be a good age range for me, but am very open to meet men who are older. I have a youthful lifestyle and frame of mind and prefer guys who have the same.

I used to be a pretty serious athlete but injuries and lack of free time have given me less time and less ability to work out as much and as hard as I'd like - as a result I'm curvier than I used to be. If you like skinny women, move on. But again, I look EXACTLY like my pix so don't get too worried. And I have a couple more full-length shots that I'll email you if you need more proof ;-)

I'd like to email or chat or talk on the phone a little and then meet - don't need any endless emailing. If you're interested, you'll want to meet soon. If you keep offering up excuses, I'll know you're not interested.

Hope to hear from you :)

Drinks, coffee/tea, something outside (when it's warm out) ... let's look at it as the screening process. If we connect, then we have a real date :)
