Hello, Please read my entire profile so you have a good understanding of who I am and what I am about.

I am an outgoing positive person who is passionate about life. I love being spontaneous. Enjoy lots of laughter and being silly. I truly enjoy anything to do with the outdoors. Especially biking, beaches, any sporty activities, festivals... you get the idea.

I enjoy relaxing nights at home just kicking back listening to some good classic rock, jazz, classical, or alternative rock with friends or a special someone engaging in good conversation and fine red wine. I also love trying new restaurants with a cool atmosphere and interesting foods. I love most 80's music. I pretty much enjoy all music except country and some rap.

Cooking is an activity that I get really creative with and Italian style gourmet meals are my specialty. I would love to find a companion who also loves to join me in cooking and creating some gourmet meals together. Wine tasting is another activity that I love to participate in and engaging in that with a partner would be even better.

Art and culture are very intriguing to me. I am fascinated by architecture and large historical cities. I love to meet new people from all over and discover more about their personal journeys and aspirations.

I am an intelligent, sassy, spunky, sensual woman that wears her heart on her sleeve and cherishes the moments that take my breathe away. I am down to earth, open-minded, easy to get along with who enjoys and appreciates the simple things in life. I am positive and enjoy an adventure. I am very honest and straight forward, and would like the same quality in you.

So what am I looking for you ask? Well... I'm all about quality... not quantity. I am searching for a genuine someone who can be my partner in crime. A person who is up for a little adventure and exploration of life. Someone who isn't afraid to get dirty in the kitchen with me... or for that matter trying new things out and about. Sense of humor is required and a good communicator is requested. A great dancer is a plus. I desire someone who is confident, comfortable in their own skin, compassionate, passionate, great sense of humor, outgoing, adventurous, who enjoys intelligent conversations and great listener, and who is down-to-earth.

I would like to just date for now, but I am open to a potential long term relationship too. My time is limited because I have 2 teens that are my # 1 priority and I am active in my profession too. So I would prefer someone with children, but would still consider otherwise. I am a one-man-woman and I don't play games and won't tolerate games either. It is NOT my style to date a bunch of men and I need someone who is straight forward like myself. Being active is also key to me and I need someone who can keep up with me. I am NOT looking for a texting buddy or only a sexual relationship. I want and need so much more!

I am an elementary school teacher who seeks to continue my education and grow in my career. I am also a devoted mom of two really great teens. Right now, outside of work and kids, I am enjoying learning about who I am and new experiences. With that said,
I am learning a lot about people and learning some valuable lessons in life. It is great to experience things, but being able to learn from it and move forward is very valuable and important. It is those who don't learn from their experiences who find themselves repeating the same mistakes.

I am a great communicator and I have a very kind and gentle soul. I can enjoy myself in most environments and find a silver lining in any cloud. I am a spectacular cook and quite organized.

the first thing that people notice about me is my warm smile, my green eyes, and my positive outlook/ mood.

I enjoy books that have adventure, mystery, and romance. Movies I enjoy are dramas, action, and some comedies. Romantic comedies are my favorite. One of my favorite movies is, "When Harry Met Sally." I love most musicals. I love 80's music, like The Cure, U2, Phil Collins, Replacements, etc. Some of my favorite foods include....Italian, Sushi, Greek, and Asian foods. I am pretty adventurous with trying most foods, and appreciate gourmet foods. I enjoy going to festivals and watching bands perform.

Not necessarily in that order.

I spend a lot time thinking about the goals I want to accomplish, and traveling abroad.

On Friday nights I usually like to dine out, go to a movie, or relax after a long week of work. Friday nights are my unwind nights so I enjoy unwinding with friends or a date.

You will just have to find out after we have met and know more about each other.

You are fun, witty, open-minded, love trying new things, are active, have a great sense of humor, and have a positive outlook on life.
I also strongly desire a more fit or athletic type because I am looking for an activity partner that is able to engage in sporty type activities. Health and fitness are important to me.
If you don't have a picture of yourself, don't expect a response from me.
Also, if you only message a short message like, "Hi" or don't have your profile filled out, then that won't get you a message back either. I am looking for someone who can start an intelligent conversation. Any way... thanks for viewing my profile!
