My life history in 5 sentences or fewer:

Grew up in rural Pennsylvania, went to school in Boston. Have lived in New York for 18 years and really love it here.

Obscure knowledge I possess:

I know classical piano literature fairly well (if that counts as obscure). Random facts and details about furniture or decorative arts.

For me, a first date no-no is:

Talking about former boyfriends or complaining more than a little about work or family. Lack of civility or common courtesy=major gaffe!

I want to be with someone who wants to be:

...in an equal partnership and satisfying relationship where there's both physical and intellectual attraction.
