I am intelligent, passionate, affectionate, and a hopeless romantic. I gravitate to people who can make me laugh. I have a wicked sense of humor, and I enjoy others who do—but they have to be able to take it, as well as dish it out. I can laugh at myself, and I WILL laugh at you and I love to learn new things, and I want someone who is willing to teach me, and to learn from me. I like to go out from time to time to a restaurant, a play, or a concert, but I prefer home, with someone dear to me, or someplace cozy away from home. I'm very touch-oriented. I like to hold hands as I walk with someone. I enjoy being close to the one I love, and I like to give and receive lots of hugs and kisses. I am very direct, open and honest. You won't wonder where you stand with me; but it’s not just the negative! I am as likely to tell you when I'm happy with you as to let you know when I’m upset. I don't hold grudges. I don't play games with people's feelings, hide my feelings, or pretend I feel things I don't. I also don't have any patience for someone who is playing games with me.
