I'm an open, honest attractive lady looking for someone special to share life, learning, adventure, and simply kicking back. Kind and empathic by nature, I love helping others, refuse to back down on principles, but open to compromise. I'm comfortable dressing up or down, but always feminine, and pride myself at my ability to comfortably talk to almost anyone. I work hard at being non-judgmental, not worrying what others think and things I can't control. I'm very affectionate, confident in myself and expressing my sexuality with someone I care about, and expect the same in return. I'm playful, love a passionate debate flirtatious verbal sparring, teasing and intellectual conversations.
I enjoy fine dining and cozy cafes, but I'm also an excellent cook, so a meal at home is great too. Some favorite activities are indie movies, concerts, people watching, comedy clubs, get together w/ friends, the beach, summer festivals, hiking, parks, walking the dogs. My animals are very important to me; they provide a constant stream of unconditional love.
My match should be intelligent, quick-witted, honest, sensual, easy-going, love to laugh, affectionate and compassionate. He must be willing to share his thoughts and feelings. He's financially secure but never flaunts it. Considerate of others, but able to take charge in difficult situations. I expect to be treated like a lady and with respect.
These are deal-breakers for me: If you have no photographs, narrative and/or "additional facts" about yourself, I won't respond. The whole point is to learn about each other. If you can't take the time and effort to provide a bit of personal information, you can't be serious. I have asthma, so I will NOT date a smoker! If you're trying to quit, try me when you've been smoke-free at least 6 months. My goal is a serious long term monogamous relationship, so please don't contact me unless you're seeking the same. Also, please . . . no email pen pals, text addicts, IM junkies, short term players.
So if you're interested, maybe we could get to know each other. Thanks for reading my profile and good luck with your search.
