I'm hoping to meet someone I can look forward to everyday!!! I have a fulfilling life, but I’m never too busy to meet new people who add to my life in a positive way. I’m easy to get along with and can carry a conversation on just about any topic, which makes me a great choice for trivia nights, or just a night of drinks and conversation.

I’m a good friend who is there when anyone needs me, but I also make taking care of myself a priority. I run 3-4 times a week, except when it gets cold. Brrr! I have a bike and a bike rack, but I don't ride much. I'm still trying to find a trail where I don't feel like I'm risking my life with a head-on collision! I enjoy all outdoor activities. I travel whenever I can. Long weekend trips throughout the year are great. Thank you MLK and all the dead presidents! I have a passport so I can travel abroad whenever the opportunity presents itself. I am also SCUBA certified.

I like to eat out, go to movies, concerts, sporting events, the theater, wineries, etc, etc. Basically, the same stuff you like to do...except for watching tv. I have better things to do.

I am attracted to men who are smart, responsible, confident, sexual, playful, quick-witted, with a positive attitude. The guy for me is physically active, outgoing, and willing to share adventures and laughs with me.

If you have a low libido, please don't waste our time by contacting me. If you are unable or unwilling to be monogamous, please don't waste our time by contacting me. It will not go well.

Soooo, rather than looking for what I can get out of this, I am looking for someone who I can give what I have to offer...endless possibilities.

I'm currently teaching biology in a city public high school. It can be a little rough, but I'm always hopeful they will succeed in their own way. Prior to that, I worked at Wash U Med School conducting research on strep infections and have published my work. I also volunteer at a soup kitchen, spend time with friends and family, attend charity events, and I like to run.

My smile and my positive vibe

I enjoy all types of music except country. I will go to a run-down blues bar, a stadium concert, a smaller venue, the symphony, you name it. Just don't turn my radio dial to country or you'll get left on the side of the road.

I like all types of food. I regularly eat out and have been told I should have a restaurant blog. When I was contacted recently about submitting a recipe for a fundraising recipe book, I submitted a recommendation of 10 restaurants and my list was printed. But don't worry, I can cook. My specialty is BBQ ribs.

Family and Friends - they're the best
Running - makes me feel like a kid
Restaurants - love trying new things
Laughing -with you, not at you
Water - according to the doctor who removed my kidney stone
My brain - I really like mine

Ask me out and you'll know.

There aren't any typical Friday nights. My life is full of variety...

I'll tell you in PRIVATE!

You are totally cool, even if it's geeky cool, even if you are the only one besides your mother who thinks so.
