I live north of Boston (but would probably love to make it to live in CA someday), and I enjoy being near the shore. I'm 38 (birthday is November 21st), a Scorpio, 5'6", 415lbs, dark red/brown, curly hair, green eyes, fair complexion, some freckles.

I'm single, never married, no children.

Without a bit giant update on this topic, I'm single. The text below is from 4 years and couple of good relationships that have come to end. The premise still stands, so I'm not going to bother altering it. Read on if you'd like.

I can't tell you how often I get this... yes, I am single. Single girl, have been single for quite a while now. I don't know if people just assume I'm not, or they have no interest in changing that, or what... LOL... but meanwhile... single life. :) I hope to meet someone and have a boyfriend, someone to hang out with, laugh, share things, get to know, share time/fun/memories, and see what happens. I am not working on some clock or timeline... whatever happens in life, happens.

I am not geographically limited. I feel it would be GREAT to have someone close by, but I'm certainly not arrogant enough to think that we find our attractions in our own neighborhoods. Two serious relationships were with men in the UK and CA - and it was worth the distance and missing, etc. I know the rewards that linger in a little bit of work. :)

So, what am I looking for?? Well, of course I can't answer that in a little paragraph on a website. A lot of people contact me wondering what I am looking for, so I'll just give you an idea of my "type" (not that I usually find him!).

I like fun, smart, funny, ambitious guys who like being affectionate and are talkative. I also like people who are funny, into pop culture, current events, intelligent in any way that becomes them, etc. Physically, I prefer pretty tall, relatively thin guys, earliy 20s-30s or so, that enjoy the same types of things I do. They also might enjoy surfing, skiing, biking, hiking, art, music, nature, etc. They are usually clean-shaven (maybe a goatee or something), and they love hanging out with cute, fat, pretty, fun girls!!! They may wear some cool silver jewelry or not, they may have cute little cargo shorts in summer... an x-games type of guy... or not... they may even have some nice ink or a piercing or something - or not! Just email me and ask. I'm pretty honest. I've dated many different types of guys, so please don't take these guidelines as gospel (although I do prefer someone taller than me, cute and with a thin/medium build - that doesn't really change). As with anything, people matter most. I'm just giving you an idea of the traditional type of person that might catch my eye and/or attention in a room. If you contact me about this please include a picture of yourself and some information about you. The general "so, you're single, wanna meet?" isn't going to get you anywhere.

I like swimming, travel (CA, Vegas, road trips), tv (it's lame, but true), playing pool (though I'm quite poor at it), cosmic bowling (yes, it's completely lame, you have to love it) and I love music. I'm really into current alternative (fnxradio.com or 101.7 WFNX in Boston almost exclusively), and I'm a sucker for all the 80s new wave stuff (I'm not bad at the trivia for it either!).

Some sounds I like? Ben Harper , White Stripes, The Strokes, The Raconteurs, The Killers, Foo Fighters, Weezer, and other things ranging from The The, to Nine Inch Nails, to Abba, Bee Gees and more. I have no real appreciation for country (except about 3 Garth Brooks songs - does that even count?)

Well, I went to college in Boston and graduated with a BS in Communication. I now work in a completely unrelated field (big surprise huh?). I'm in graphic arts and I really enjoy my work. It keeps me learning new things, and thinking creatively... plus all the free access to fun software, so no complaints to speak of. :)

I don't smoke, and I don't really like it, although it's hard to find someone who doesn't. If you're a courteous smoker, I can pretty much handle it.

I drink only when I go to events/dances and someone else is driving or I'm staying over. It's a rare occasion now to find me drinking... but I won't rule it out.

I don't do any drugs - nothing.

I'm very open-minded about others, and expect to be around people who feel similarly (read: no bigots, homophobics, etc). I'm socially liberal, a smidge conservative economically, and I would classify myself as a liberal, and say that with not an ounce of shame.
