A little about me; I have a real zest for life, I’m spontaneous and I love to just wing it. I’m definitely the adventuresome type. I’m always open to new ideas, I love challenges and I’m very curious. Ask me about my trip to Costa Rica!!!

I’m looking for a relationship with someone who shares my interests and activities. I love exploring new ways to energize a relationship, it's all about having fun....right? I really like giving small gestures of love out of the blue just to make that special someone smile. I’m a true romantic but I would like someone who can work along with me, building a secure, happy relationship……..together.

My background is European, so I have visited often and love to travel. I also enjoy photography and art but I like to mountain bike, go hiking, and participate in group sports. Oh, did I mention I can cook? Pretty good too, but I need that special someone to cook for!

I have a great career (in Finance), and I’ve been working for the same firm for more than 5 years. I have a great family and lots of good friends. I get along with most people and love being in social settings.

If you like my profile, send me an email or smile and we'll go from there.

Cheers!

"A little about me; I have a real zest for life, I’m spontaneous and I love to just wing it. I’m definitely the adventuresome type. I’m always open to new ideas, I love challenges and I’m very curious. Ask me about my trip to Costa Rica!!!"

Spontaneous and winging it sound like you can't plan more than 5 minutes ahead of schedule. Is this true? If not, I'd remove the sentence. It should be "recent trip to Costa-Rica" if it was recent. So many people like to talk about their last vacation....20 years ago.

"I’m looking for a relationship with someone who shares my interests and activities."

What interests and activities in particular, your hiking and bike riding experience gets plugged in right here.

" I love exploring new ways to energize a relationship, it's all about having fun....right?"

Um, sort of brings to mind you are a sexual dynamo. Is this sentence necessary?

" I really like giving small gestures of love out of the blue just to make that special someone smile. I’m a true romantic but I would like someone who can work along with me, building a secure, happy relationship……..together."

Good, keep that.

"My background is European, so I have visited often and love to travel."

Are you from Bulgaria or Romania? What are you talking about here? Describe, sounds interesting.

"I also enjoy photography and art but I like to mountain bike, go hiking, and participate in group sports."

Group sports, like what? What type of photography and art? What museums have you visited, what mountains have you climbed? Did you climb a mountain in Costa Rica?

"Oh, did I mention I can cook? Pretty good too, but I need that special someone to cook for!"

What type of food? Don't make promises that you are a waiter and cleaner upper either, you will be getting more than you bargained for here.

"I have a great career (in Finance), and I’ve been working for the same firm for more than 5 years."

Not necessary to mention your job, some men may get the idea that you are loaded and are willing to support their unemployment habits.

"I have a great family and lots of good friends. I get along with most people and love being in social settings."

Nice, keep that.

"If you like my profile, send me an email or smile and we'll go from there.

These are just my humble opinions, feel free to ignore anything I have written.

What ARE your interests and activities? You mention a little bit with the photography, travel, sports and cooking, but give EXAMPLES. What do you like to photograph? Where is your favorite destination? What sports do you play and/or watch? Do you have a favorite sport or team? What do you like to cook? It's hard for someone to know if they share your interests and activities when you've been kinda vague about what they are.

OK, so you're adventurous - prove it! :-) What have you done that is adventurous and spontaneous? OK, so you went to Costa Rica - did you do something particular there? bungy jump, paraglide, climb a mountain?

What types of social things do you like to do? Bars, clubs, dancing? Again, you're kind of vague in that you "enjoy social settings". Mention some places you like to go and do with your friends and family. The more specific you can be, the more likely you will find a good match.
