I'm a warm, fun-loving, curious and approachable person seeking the same for a long-term partnership. Please read on!

I love to get out there and explore new places and experience new things (that doesn't mean I'm a risk-taker though...I'm not really into sky diving or zip-lining, or black diamond skiing!). I'm very curious about a lot of things, especially history, people, and the way things are made.

I'm self-confident yet humble, a good partner yet independent, interested in people's thoughts and concerns yet mind my own business.

My humor goes from dry, sarcastic, witty and clever to down right silly (who doesn't love a good belly laugh now and then?). Clever conversation and humor turn me on....

I try to eat well and stay healthy. My next big purchase will be a road bike (I left my 20-year old 10 speed back in Boston, and I miss it!). I love to ride - it's a great way to see the Great Outdoors and meet all kinds of people.

Originally from Boston, I moved to NYC 8 years ago to pursue a career in merchandise licensing. I lost interest and changed careers, although with a "red thread" linking the two. I'm currently a Legal Secretary with a prominent firm, and the job and firm are absolutely great (the "red thread" is contract negotiation). Although I don't actually negotiate contracts anymore, I read and revise those that my attorneys draft. It's quite interesting!

.....making friends, learning new things, playing my flute, snapping pics, my job.....to name a few. I have a good eye for art and design - I design and construct quilts, enjoy playing with paper, pencils, and paint.
I'll probably think of more things later - check back often!

Physically, my lips! Next, my smile and sparkly personality. My hair is sometimes a topic of conversation (why, I have no idea - maybe because I change the style often?).

My Flute
My sewing machine/knitting needles/fabric
My curiousity

How things are made (or work) - I like to reverse-engineer things.

What to read next, what to eat/cook next, restaurants to experience, wines I've read about, places to go, things to do.

Since I consider myself a considerate, thoughtful and sympathetic person, I spend a lot of time thinking about other people.

out with friends or meeting new ones. If I happen not to go out, I'll be home doing the Sunday NYTimes Crossword Puzzle, reading something, watching TV, or editing photos on the computer.

I'm an open book. Nothing to admit here!

Our profiles match, you live near me, and you are a dedicated, loyal, intelligent person with a good heart and level head.
