I am a city girl through and through, but you won't ever catch me buying a Louis Vuitton planner. (If you know what I'm getting at, we're on the same wavelength!) I'm looking for a man who is romantically optimistic and ready to discover a meaningful connection with a genuine, intelligent, fun, self-aware, and loving person. (That's me!) Kindness, a sense of humor and authenticity are the qualities I value most. (If you have a pup, it's a plus! I have dog envy.) I love music, yoga, making jewelry, movies, books, art/design (I'm teaching myself how to sketch), travel (hey - who doesn't?), and cooking. (Even in The Land of Restaurants, nothing can compete with a fantastic home-cooked meal.) My favorite moments are with dear friends - concerts in the park, catching a movie, or grabbing a drink at a dive bar in the 'hood. Weekend getaways make me happy - a dose of open sky or ocean is essential. My career stimulates and challenges me - but it doesn't define me. If you are silly and joyful, find yourself jumping around to music on occasion, and can tell an amusing story (or joke) - we'll get along famously!
