I am a very family and friend oriented person. I think of myself as open-minded and willing to try new things. I like to go out with friends, watch movies, travel, and just relax. When I can find some free time, I like to experiment with cooking, dabble in photography, and work on my house. I am looking for someone who is outgoing, has a good sense of humor, has a good head on their shoulders, and likes to go out and have fun but can also just hang out and watch a movie. I am shy at first but once I feel comfortable my sarcastic humor comes to life. I think of myself as laid back and fun but also goal oriented and hardworking. Right now I am looking to date but if the right person comes along I would be ready for more. If you are curious to know more, let me know.

I am a teacher and am currently going to grad school for my Master's in Reading.

Between reading for work and grad school I do not get in much pleasure reading. I readmore in the summer when I have more time. I like a lot of Jodi Picoult's books.

Some of the movies I like are Old School, Ocean's 11, The Bourne movies, Anchorman, etc. I like almost any type of music except I do not like most country. I like a lot of the mainstream music among other things.

It depends...sometimes just hanging out and relaxing and sometimes out with friends (dinner, drinks, movie, dancing, etc.)

I am looking for a down to earth guy who fun, has a good sense of humor, is pretty easy-going knows how to treat a girl, works hard and plays hard, and shares common values and interests. I would prefer someone who is more outgoing to bring me out of my shell and can take and give a good sarcastic joke. Down the line I want someone who can sweep me off my feet with their thoughtful gestures, interest in who I am and who I strive to be, and a person who I can make a better man and someone who can make me a better woman. Can you tell I am a little bit of a romantic?
