Date someone special from Greenbrae, United States. Engaging, warm and intellectually curious, I am a woman who is looking to provide great happiness and fulfillment to the man who wants a full and independent partner. In great physical shape with a megawatt smile, I am attractive with a scintillating personality. My work is recruiting attorneys for law firms and companies in the Bay Area. I lived several years abroad - two years in Vienna studying at the American Institute for European Studies and a year in Bergamo, Italy studying Italian and Montessori teaching technique. One of my passions is to share travel with an inspired partner, especially to Africa and South America, neither of which I've seen. I love whatever the city and Marin have to offer in the way of pure culture - symphony, opera, ballet and live theater - and just as equally climbing to the top of Mt. Tam. I think Mozart's Requiem is probably the most beautiful piece of music ever written but love to dance to Western and Cajun music. I am the happiest when I'm engaged in conversation with someone who thinks deeply and philosophically about his or her life and the world...and making that connection with someone else. Some of the values I wish to share with a partner are adventure in any form, an authentic and deep connection, a sense of optimism overall, intellectual curiosity and a commitment to mutual emotional awareness. My idea of a perfect date is taking a gorgeous hike, grabbing a quick bite and going to a comedy club or to a play, talking about impressions during intermission and afterwards. An ideal match would be someone who values me for who I am, deals with me and others with respect and kindness, loves surprises and surprising, lives to laugh and naturally finds the best in others.The perfect match would be a man secure in his own right, both with himself and the outside world. He would not take himself too seriously, being willing to laugh at himself easily and help his partner to do the same. He would treat his partner with respect and kindess and take great joy in supporting her to be all that she could be to herself, knowing that it would be returned 10-fold to him. He would be intellectually curious and interested in most everything. Instilled with a poetic soul, he would enjoy reading poetry to her and she to him. They would love cooking and creating together, including deep sensuality and magic in the bedroom. Life is definitely a banquet but when shared with a soul and fun-mate, it should provide constant nourishment to both.
