Born and raised in the Chicagoland area!

I am moving in uncharted territory, but that doesn't mean I am naive'. I don't consider myself photogenic, so if you like my photos, you will be pleasantly surprised if we ever meet in person.

I enjoy spontaneity, but somethings just have to be planned just right. I love to socialize in small or large crowds. Communication is #1 on my priority list, because without it you have nothing! I usually handle things under pressure quite well, but would hope that my partner would share in that task. I like to be challenged and I am very competitive. I love to hold hands and take walks everywhere. I am not a shopper and I am very difficult to buy for. I'm an easy going person that loves to laugh and have fun. I get excited when it storms outside...one more reason to either run in the rain or stay in and snuggle next to someone that is very special to me. I am confident, outspoken and ready to explore new things. I don't sweat the little things because life is too short.

I believe the ingredients for a great relationship are, but not limited too, intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and sensually stimulating. If you share all of these, then everything is possible.

If you want a barbie doll, I'm not one so you may as well stop now. I would like to meet someone that wants to build a long term relationship. I would like to meet a man who is not afraid to say what he thinks, understands that there is no such thing as perfection, because its our flaws that make us different, accepts that mistakes are a part of life, pays attention to everyone around him, holds family values as high as I do, wants to share our space and also have our own. I would hope that he has dreams and goals just like I do and that we can share them together. I want to be able to look into your eyes and see that special sparkle of magic. Everyone has drama, but it is how we handle it that counts. I want 100 percent and in return you will receive 110 percent. I believe in chance encounters and love at first sight. I want you to want me as much as I want you. Jealousy is a sickness, that everyone can overcome, if you're confident in your relationship. I need someone that can communicate mentally and physically. He has to enjoy being touched and touch back. Even if it were just passing by each other in the hallway. You have to be able to handle constructive criticism as I do. If you need space, I should be able to detect it and if you need something else, I will know. I am not attracted to flashy men that always want to be the center of attention. If you are the center of attention it would be because you are charming and can capture an audience in conversation or your great sense of humor. I may be asking for a lot but I had it once and I know there are more men and women out there that want it too.
