I have a weakness for guys/girls who:

For me, a first date no-no is:

Telling a lie. No relationship, romantic or otherwise, should be built on lies.

What I would bring to show and tell:

A story you should remind me to tell you on our first date:

Any stories about my students. After four years teaching in the inner city, I have some great ones!

I secretly want to be:

a scuba instructor on an island in the Caribbean.

I want to be with someone who wants to be:

an eternal child at heart.

An infatuation of mine:

If I won the lottery and quit my job, I would:

Start a nonprofit that focuses on community building in urban areas.

I want to come home to:

open arms and a snugglefest.
