I love to go to concerts, the theater, sporting events, museums and I am willing to try just about anything at least once. Some nights, I prefer the quieter atmosphere of a lounge or cafe where we can talk and actually enjoy one another's company. I love to go out dancing and will literally dance all night if given the chance.
