Meet a soulmate from Richmond, United States. I'm a wildly independent college-educated chick. Well-established career, own a condo, my own car. Looking for a partner in crime to share adventures in music, conversation, travel, food drink and if there's chemistry the bedroom too.
Not you're typical chick...I'm relatively low-maintenance. More tomboy than girlie-girl. Can be very opinionated, sarcastic a wicked sense of humor.
I am a very social person, but tend to be shy at first.
In the process of attaining a healthier lifestyle after years of decadence indulgence. Eating better, trying to exercise more...less debauchery but not gone completely. I mean a girl needs some vices, right?
Passionate about NHRA (not to be confused with NASCAR which I don't do) the band TOOL. I have seen them in concert over 29 times...traveled all over the Western states to see them.
Life's too short to sit on the sidelines.

Date someone special from Richmond, United States. 200 characters minimum....I like poetry, walking, eating chicken soup at VH Noodle House in Richmond, playing ball with my cat. I like bookstores. I don't like to get too dressed up and I've almost never been to the opera. I moved to San Francisco from the East Coast in 1989 and then to the East Bay in 2012. I like the East Bay better, like the quiet and open space and open sky. I like to be alone but I am lonely. I'd like to meet a man with the same paradox,who wants company and conversation, but also want or needs to have time alone. Or maybe this would change with the right person and I wouldn't want to be alone anymore. Perhaps we could go bowling. I haven't bowled in the longest time, but I think it would be a fun way to get to know someone. I like to bike, also, though I'm not a super fast or athletic biker. I'd like to meet a man who is a mathematician or a scientist, an understated mensch, a man who it's nice to spend a day with doing nothing. I have been told my profile is not very romantic or passionate. At this point I do not want any more dramatic relationships, and I would like to start as "friends first," and the let the romantic be part of something larger.
