About Me

Hello there! Okay, here's a little bit about myself...I am a Guidance Counselor in a public K-8 school. I love my job and wouldn't want to do anything else. To make this easier, I asked some friends to describe me and here are the results: fun-loving, sweet, adventurous, motivated, family oriented, considerate of other's feelings, and energetic. I am quick-to-smile and somewhat inquisitive! I enjoy all sorts of activities and will pretty much try anything once - I’ve gone sky diving, cliff diving and accomplished the knee-hang catch on a flying trapeze! I enjoy fine dining, traveling to tropical islands, rollerblading, roller coasters, hiking, some snow skiing, pistol shooting, obstacle/adventure running/races (i.e.: Tough Mudder 2x), and CrossFit for exercise! I am the type that loves getting dressed up and going to a nice restaurant one night and maybe camping out by a fire the next; I can suit the occasion and enjoy doing so. I spent a great deal of time in college and working hard. I own my own home and am financially independent. Ive had several (very) long term relationships (8 years, 7 years, and 6 years each) and although none of them developed into a life-long future, I feel that I am a better person because of them.I have fulfilled all of my academic and career goals and hope to meet a man who has done the same...hence, who is ready for a committed relationship. I am looking for someone who I can share myself with - someone who will be my love, as well as my best friend. I am finally ready to meet the man who I am meant to be with. Although I am not looking for a relationship that is only "convenient", I have tried the long-distance thing once or twice and have found it difficult. I do also understand that everyone is on their best behavior during the get-to-know-you stage...which is why I do not tend to jump into things. I will try to be as up-front as possible in this.Having said that, I prefer to meet sooner than later. As much as I appreciate good writing technique, as illustrated in *** &/or text messages, I would much rather meet early on to determine if there is a spark between us - which is absolutely necessary!! ;)

    Woman. 44 years old. Zodiac sign: Capricorn.

    Looking for: man. In age: 41-51

    Hello fine sir!I am a passionate foodie/chef and animal loving singer/musician. My favorite pastimes are cooking, singing/practicing music, playing with my two kitties (and pretty much anything that has hooves or paws), reading and watching a really good cerebral film. Speaking of cerebral, I am definitely a sapiophile. There is nothing sexier than a rapier sharp mind and wit with a great sense of humor! I also get a tremendous amount of fulfillment out of volunteering for various organizations, in various capacities... I enjoy helping others in whatever way I am able.Presently, I am a full-time student and a part-time server working on my first degree, an AA in Music. The plan is to transfer to continue/complete a double major: a BA in Communicative Disorders and Music Therapy; after which I plan to obtain a Special Education credential and MA in Speech-Language Pathology. So, I have quite the road ahead of me, however my path is clear and my commitment is absolute. This is my version of a "midlife crisis"...other people want a younger mate, a sexy sports car...me: I abandoned my 17 year restaurant management career to return to school full-time to follow my heart/dreams and maximize my potential in life. If all of this sounds exciting to you - you may be just the man I'm looking for! ;o) At times things are difficult, especially on the financial front, but it is definitely temporary. As many wise friends have said, "This too shall pass."One of my best life friends once said about and to me, "You have always beat to your own drummer." I am definitely not "typical" in any way. My father taught me to always make up my own mind about things - to not follow the herd. Throughout my life, I have always felt like the salmon swimming upstream, going against the grain of what everyone else thinks is "normal" or "acceptable." Some of my favorite topics of discussion: religion, politics, philosophy, social issues, cooking and music - of course music!My musical tastes range far and wide...;;;;; Debussy. I also appreciate some Hip Hop and Country - they just aren't my "favorite" genres of music. As far as my personal musical ability goes, I am studying classical voice and I also love to sing jazz.Some other things you should know about me, I am an "old-fashioned" Christian girl. I am definitely looking for an "old-fashioned" Christian guy. If you are an ardent atheist, while we would most certainly have some interesting conversations, it is doubtful it would ever be more than that. Also, although I work with the public (always have) and enjoy it, I am definitely not an extrovert. I am an introvert who just happens to be bubbly and engaging. I am genuine and sincere, and extraordinarily compassionate towards others...all that being said to say simply, I am not really a "party" girl. My idea of a perfect evening is to have a great home cooked meal, a good bottle of wine, some great conversation and/or a good movie, and genuine intimacy with someone I care about. I am definitely not the superficial type. While physical appearance is important, it is nowhere near as important as the content of someone's heart and mind. Regarding personal appearance: personally, I am plus size - a very curvaceous and attractive plus size, but plus size none the less. I am continuously trying to improve myself and my health is of the utmost importance to me. I am highly affectionate and deeply loyal to those I love. Family is very important to me. Mine is small and we are close.Something important about you: You should be able to complete a grammatically correct sentence in the English language. One of my pet peeves is sloppy/poor grammar. (I even type everything out in text messages.) ...the other major peeve - don't be a super picky eater. I am an outstanding chef/cook, and love cooking for people that I care about. I need someone who enjoys all food types to be truly happy.Lastly, like many people who pursue online dating, I am extremely busy. I want to find someone to share my life with - long term. I will absolutely make time for someone I am interested in, but it must be a two way street.- respect for my personal character as well as my time...I will absolutely respect you and yours, please respect me and mine. Thank you so much for reading! Best wishes in finding your soulmate! Coffee, lunch, wine tasting...a walk on the beach or through a museum, a picnic...or just a nice evening out to a good dinner with engaging conversation. I'm pretty open...let's get to know each other.
