How does one do this without sounding trite? I could give you all the standard adjectives: attractive, warm, outgoing, playful, smart, etc. but what does that really tell you? I'd rather tell you that I value friendships, family, honesty, integrity and making deep, personal connections. I have a strong sense of self but also have no trouble laughing at myself (I love to see the ironies in life). I'm curious and love to explore new ideas and places. I have many interests and enjoy lots of activities, including theatre, films, art, reading, walking/hiking and dining out (or in). I tend to prefer smaller gatherings or one-on-one encounters with my friends than big parties. I enjoy my work but value my personal time as much as my job and strive to maintain a healthy balance between the two. I have a strong Jewish connection and enjoy celebrating holidays with my friends and family. Although I have an active social life and have been blessed with several wonderful friends, I am missing that special "someone" with whom I can share the future.

I'm seeking my best friend and partner to share in life's big and small adventures. You will be kind and sensitive but also assertive about your wants and in your opinions. You'll probably be on the serious, maybe even intense, side but will also have a good sense of humor and can laugh at yourself. You're emotionally available and a good communicator. You'll provide a balance to me (and I to you).
