About Me

***Update:I first joined this site a few years back while I was separated; I think mainly because I was lonely and wanted new people to talk to. Then my husband and I worked things out and I stopped logging in. Sadly, he passed away about 6 months ago, but at least the sparks in our marriage had come back and we had some special times before I lost him. I've only been back on here for a week or so. Not even sure I should be here, but I know he would want me to have male companionship of some kind. So here I am.The diversity of those on this site fascinates me to no end. There are so many differences in personalities and interests, yet all sharing at least this one thing in common by being on here. People sure are interesting. :-) I hope to make some new friends while here. If I initiate contact with you through the site’s ***, I have read your profile and something you’ve written has caught my attention. I do, on occasion, write to someone that I already know will not be interested in me as a potential match (some of you fellas are more specific than others when describing what you’re looking for), or vice versa. Don’t assume my intentions are anything other than an appreciation of some part of you. Chances are, I honed in on your great sense of humor and thought I’d enjoy chatting with you, want to compliment you on your excellent profile-making skills, or am curious and/or interested to learn more about some content in your profile.Now on to an attempt to describe myself……I hold back opening up to someone until I feel comfortable with them…sometimes that happens quickly, sometimes it takes awhile and sometimes it’s just not gonna happen.I am not outgoing, but I’m not an introvert either. I love meeting and listening to people, yet until someone gets to know me, they usually think I’m shy. I tend to be one of the more quiet ones in a group setting. That’s because I’m trying to hear what everyone else has to say. If you’re looking for “the life of the party” type of gal…I’m not her. More likely, I’m one of her dearest friends though.I love music…just about any kind. Always have. Always will. I can’t imagine a life without it. I have a deep respect and admiration for musicians (and a bit of envy). I will listen to anything at least once.I love animals…especially the furry kind.If I’m with friends…I’m usually having fun, regardless of what we are doing or where we are at. I enjoy both indoor and outdoor events/excursions/whatever else you care to call them. If you’re with the right person ANYTHING can be fun!I love road trips, preferably unhurried. I like taking time to stop and see the little things that aren’t necessarily mentioned in any tour guide and watching people along the way, and hopefully hearing their stories. I’ve never been able to work any world traveling into my budget, but if my sister ever wins the lottery (because I don’t play, and she promised to share if she ever wins big LOL), there are so many places I’d love to see!Some of my turn-offs:LiarsCrueltyMeaniesFakesFreeloadersRacistsClosed MindsCheatersControl FreaksHatersHomophobesInsecurityTo find the key to my heart you will need to be genuine, young at heart, well-mannered, loving, self-sufficient (I won’t be your maid, mommy or bank), honest, kind, have smiling eyes and a sense of humor (if you make me laugh, you’re halfway there).I don’t understand the concept of people “looking for a long-term relationship”. That is not something you find…IT finds you. If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen, whether you want it to or not, AND not on your own personal preplanned timeline, but when it’s the right time for IT. I think some people get so caught up in the ‘looking’ that they forget to cultivate the friendships that could have been growing. One, of which, may have eventually blossomed into the exact thing they were looking for all along, but never end up finding due to their own haste and lack of patience. Look, if you feel the need to, but don’t throw away the friends you meet along the way.May you find joy in your life, Peace of mind, and laughter in your heart. Thanks for stopping by. xoxo I have not had a first date in years. No, make that decades!Open to suggestions. It seems obvious that it should be someplace we'd be able to talk and see if we're connecting at all. I suppose it would also depend on how much we had already talked on the phone or *** and forth. This is too generalized....to many unknowns for a definitive answer.

    Woman. 52 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.

    Looking for: man. In age: 49-59

    I am friendly once you get to know me, but I can be a bit shy at first. I am a kind, positive woman. I am happy with who I am but always striving to be better. I try each day to be the best I can be and the best example for my daughter. The northwest is an extraordinary place to live. I could do without so many gray days and rain but I have found this place to have some of the nicest people I've ever met. It also has a wonderful creative culture that I am drawn to. Glass and painting in particular.I am an artist, and sell my work in galleries across the country. I also work with a dear old friend ***helping him build things in his wood shop, currently we are building a loft bed for a friend's daughter. Additionally, I cook for friends a couple nights a week. I worked in the restaurant industry many years, and I like helping people out. Things to have conversations about at any rate, so I don't think I'm a boring person to know. Perhaps even a little interesting some might find.I'm looking for someone who is confident in who they are and passionate about their endeavors. Honest and open. Kind. Fun to be with. Someone interested in sharing. Who takes care of himself, exercises, likes to be outdoors, likes finding new things to do, not a couch potato by any means. Interests, music and hobbies different to learn from each other, or the same to can see from a new angle, hear with a fresh ear. Maybe interested in art, as I am. I want to have that spark, that attraction that makes you find yourself sitting and talking and laughing endlessly with this person, hours passing by without notice, maybe over dinner and a bottle of wine. Never a loss for words because there is so much to talk about so much connection. Kindness does matter. Indeed.Sorry but I do not respond to profiles without photos, oh and one more thing - you guys with the shirtless photos - not cool. Not at all. You may think women are looking for that (as I'm sure you'd love to see a shirtless woman shot) but it comes across as trying too hard. You don't need to sell us with your skin, when depth is really what we are after. Just saying

    I decided to give this another shot - Im sure it is easier for guys to find love on-line, as most women are beautiful in some way. However, you guys need to understand that women find men attractive through their personalities and who they are - so if we are looking at a picture then you need to make sure it does not include one of these; You holding up your fish You and your dead animal that you just killed You wearing sunglasses - we all look cool in sunglasses but women need to see your eyes You in a picture with 5 other guys and we have to figure out which one is you You from 10 years ago - take a pic today - women will not care if you are older but they do care if you show up being a different looking personThat being said - another tip for you is to understand that women are apprehensive about the on-line dating. If you see she has checked out your profile, then you should contact her. The woman should be pursued. Let your ego down for a bit and go after the chase. Even if I am not what you are looking for, I have helped a few of my guy friends on what women want. I hope this helps with your search....now about me; I am a hard worker, own a business that has occupied too much of my time - now its time to step back and find love. I believe in love, I believe in romance and I believe there is someone out there for everyone. I play tennis, take care of myself, love to go out to dinners, movies, flowers, the whole girly girl thing is who I am. The clothes, the shoes, the hair. But I am also a pony tail girl who loves her sweats! Love to snuggle and watch tv together, enjoy a glass of wine, make dinner for each other and walk holding hands. If this sounds like your kind of girl, then you should find me. :) First dates are always awkward.. so definitely not a movie, where there isn't any communication. A nice dinner and a glass of wine and good conversation to get to know each other would probably be the best.

    Woman. 55 years old. Zodiac sign: Leo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 52-62

    I am very family oriented, yet still enjoy having fun and going out. Currently I am looking for love and companionship. My friends, who are helping me write this, tell me that I am one of, if not the most, caring and nicest person they have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I am extremely outgoing. My goals and aspirations are simply to be happy myself and to make those around me happy to the best of my ability.-shine in everyday life. Generally without a temper, even angry I remain calm, collected, and best of all kind. My favorite kind of music is blues, country and soft rock. My days are pretty laid back, although I do really enjoy getting out of the house and having fun elsewhere. I have two sons, one is in the United States Millitary. I have one grandson that is a bundle of fun.
