I am a bibliophile and a nerd. I work full time, and am putting myself through college. I love to have eye-opening conversations about pretty much anything. I am interested in reading, cooking, drawing, photography, writing, hiking and trying new foods. My favorite authors are Salman Rushdie, Kazuo Ishiguro, John Irving, Edith Wharton and Jane Austen.

I'm looking for someone who can challenge me intellectually. The ideal relationship, to me, is one that can help both partners to be better than they are individually.
Please:
-have a sense of humor
-like to read, even if you don't get to very often
-like to cuddle
-enjoy quiet nights at home
-have a healthy appreciation for good food
-be willing to entertain ideas that contradict your own respectfully
-be able to broaden my horizons
