I am a simple yet complex woman who wants a partner. I'm not here to match wits; I am ready to be the rib. Great conversation, food, and wine is my idea of a wonderful evening. I am a direct and to the point person who enjoys sports, walking in the park, music (especially in the park! ), and laid back environments. I enjoy trying new restaurants and cultural venues around town as well as easing back with a movie and take-out Thai from time to time. I have a pleasant and up-beat personality for the most part. I enjoy witty and interesting conversation with a little debate here and there. I like reading, traveling, and DEFINITELY spontaneity! I am very involved with community concerns and civic organizations. I like to chill and see where the river of life will take me. I want an educated, upwardly mobile, financially stable Black man. He will have high standards and morals. Together, we will be a power couple, sitting on various non-profit and corporate boards, host committees, donating time and money to worthy causes. He is confident, not intimidated, and sensitive yet, manly. He is ambitious, and makes time for me, exciting, and willing to grow and expand his horizons. This man is honest and direct with me regardless of whether or not what he says will hurt me. He is willing to communicate with me about his hopes, dreams, and ambitions. My man will have a vision, and supports me in my quests and allows me to support him as well. Ultimately, I want to be with someone with whom we can grow to be friends and ultimately lovers.
