I'm a fun-loving, down to earth girl. I love meeting new people, trying new things, and spending time with people I care about. I'm compassionate, genuine, affectionate, loyal, laid back, and (I'd like to think) friendly and easy to get along with. I love my friends and family, traveling, dining out, wine, the beach, sushi, NE sports, lazy Sundays, reading, being in the sun, thunderstorms, laughing, and Burlington, VT.

I'd much rather go out for a nice dinner and drinks than a club on the weekends. I participated in my first fantasy football league last season, and ended up the champion - don't ask me how.. Beginner's luck? Already looking forward to next season!

My perfect match would be a guy who's a romantic at heart - thoughtful, understanding, sensitive, loyal. Someone who likes to travel and experience new things, who's a good communicator, independent, can make me laugh, is open minded, and knows that chivalry isn't dead. I basically want the fairytale dream - although I don't know if it really exists. I'd love to be proven wrong!

I'm currently working in finance and HR for a small consulting firm downtown.

I'm an excellent hugger :)

Probably my smile or my eyes.

My all-time favorite books are Pillars of the Earth and World Without End by Ken Follett. Loved The Shadow of the Wind, The Help, A Dangerous Fortune, A Place Called Freedom, Harry Potter, Dragon Tattoo series, and the Hunger Games.

My guilty pleasure is reality TV. Love the Food Network, Grey's Anatomy, Cougar Town and Modern Family.

I listen to all types of music. Currently really into OAR, Adele and Sara Bareilles. Rascal Flatts are always a favorite.

I'm a self-proclaimed "foodie". I'm always up to trying something new, but LOVE sushi and am a sucker for a nice dinner in the North End. One of my favorite things is trying out new restaurants around the city.

(obviously I'd say family and friends, but c'mon, they're not really "things" :)

What my future holds...and my next meal, haha

either out for dinner and drinks with friends, traveling for the weekend, or home on my couch relaxing with a glass of wine and catching up with what's on my DVR. I love going to improve shows, and would really like to explore the Boston theater scene.

I used to be a "band geek" - I played the clarinet from 4th grade through high school. Proud of it though, because it allowed me to tour Europe, which is where I was bitten by the travel bug.

you're looking for a serious relationship. Please don't waste my time or yours - I'm not interested in hook-ups or something casual.

Hint: put a little more thought and effort into an email than just "Hey, how's it going?". Also, opening with "Hey sexy!" might not be the best choice.. :)
