To escape the daily grind, I seek solace in nature. As Dallas is increasingly becoming a concrete jungle, I look forward to weekend getaways and enjoy scenic bike rides, hiking, strolls...I love animals and have a few feline roommates. I consider myself quite open-minded. Instead of adhering to religious dogma, I see the divine in all creation. Art and culture feeds my soul; ergo, I frequent museums, symphony, jazz, live concerts. I love to dance (and I can jam, believe me). My daily endorphin rush comes from cycling, weight training and practicing yoga. I am extremely strong with quite a bit of endurance. I often volunteer my time doing humanitarian work during my extensive vacation time, which teaching provides. Excellent food, whether it is haute cuisine, barbecue or down home cooking is one of the many pleasures in life. I see no point in depriving myself since I work out on a daily basis. (Besides, curves are natural for a woman!) I love to cook, and I take my wine seriously, so much that you may feel inclined to hand me the wine list at dinner. Overall, I am looking for a man equal in mind, body and spirit- someone who inspires me to be a better human being. I am not looking for just anyone- just someone who fits with me. With that said, I am looking for someone in my age range 35-45. This seems like a venue for sappy, over the top wording. If your profile sounds like a teenage boy's, we are definitely not a match. I was never a fan of Cinderella.
