The words that melt every girl’s heart.

Guy trying to pick up a girl at the Front Page:

Guy: “So, what do you do?”

Girl: “Oh, I’m an architect.”

Guy: “You know, I knew you’d be something smart. You look very…mathematical.”

Italian origins, well traveled, highly educated, professional woman with lots to offer to the right person. Romantic and sensual. I love gourmet food – particularly white truffles and foie gras, candlelight baths with Veuve Clicquot, moutain hiking particularly in the snow covered Cascades, travels, reading, cooking. I don’t like passive sports, TV, discussion about politics or religion. Some of my interests are mentioned on my home page, at datashaping.com/amy.shtml
