Must be between 5'4" and 5'9" tall, 19-27 years old, slim to average build, and attractive. Women only! With Elizabeth in Ecuador until February, I should try this "casual dating" thing. Here are some of the things my casual partner and I will do together:

• Go to the movies. I don't go to the movies all the time, but occasionally, I'll want to see a new film, and I'll want someone to come with me. Potential date must enjoy action-ey films (e.g. Casino Royale) as well as indie films (e.g. The Science of Sleep) and comedies (e.g. Borat). Date must also like Shakespeare, as I enjoy going to the California Shakespeare Festival in Orinda.
• Go out to dinner. I enjoy food, and there are lots of restaurants in this area. My date and I will go to restaurants every now and then.
• Rock climbing. I like rock climbing, and my date must, as well. I haven't been rock climbing recently because I have no belay partner. Date must be interested in rock climbing as well as hiking, camping, and going to national/state parks for the weekend.
• Discussion. I like to talk politics. Not a lot, but enough. Date must be able to keep up with political conversation and know what's going on in the news. I also like to talk about other things. Date must be able to bring some interesting intellectual background to discussion. Witiness appreciated. Some college education preferred. Liberal-leaning people only, please. Liberal-leaning people preferred, but conservative thinkers are also welcome.

If you know anyone that fits this description, please let me know. I'm at a loss in finding out where to meet new people.
