About Me

UPDATE (June ***: I recently retired early from UPS after 32 years...lucky me!! I've never let demographics rain on my parade when it comes to dating. I'm all about quality over quantity and I've learned to not limit that quest to my own zip code. Relocate? Absolutely! Summer home? Meet you for lunch, minus any expectations? Yes, please!I appreciate hearing from you; if I don't get a chance to respond, I wish you the best in your search. (Not sure how others handle this, but if it doesn't look like a true match, it seems better not to initiate a conversation than to start one and then cut it off. My intention is to be respectful and kind.)I have been widowed for over ten years & have moved on with life quite happily. Since then I have enjoyed committed relationships and look forward to the next. I'm drawn to confident & competent men. Strong character draws me to you like a magnet. I want a secure man's man who is passionate about life! Someone that I can play with, have fun with, share with, laugh with (very important), partner with, and love/grow with. I am going to find a truly extraordinary man to create special memories with, unless of course he finds me first. (smile) I'm realistic when it comes to expectations, but I still dream large and wake up happy every day! I'm well balanced, savvy & completely void of hang-ups. I should be nothing but a delight to you!Life's curveballs have proven to me how precious life really is....therefore, I try to live it to its absolute fullest focusing on the present with an eye towards a promising future. I embrace today with an abundance of emotional depth. I live and feel deeper, love hard and listen longer more than most. Life has been wonderful, yet I continue to wake up each morning recognizing that the best is yet to come. When I find him, he'll be ready for a real relationship and an imminent life change. He'll want me both in & out of the bedroom and in his life today, not just someday.I am a TRUE LADY and I love being a woman!! I am decidedly feminine and fiercely loyal. I'm on this site for all the right reasons. You and I are both looking for a real connection. One that takes us beyond cyberspace, gains momentum and is unstoppable by either of us. You will embrace and cherish it should it come your way because you have learned, as have I, that the type I'm referring to is rare. I believe the most important prerequisite for finding a satisfying intimate relationship is wholeheartedly wanting one. Many say that is what they want, but are not willing to take the risk of heartache, afraid of change, fear of opening themselves up emotionally. Contrary to that, once I give my heart or commit to anything, I see it through to a successful place and grow from the lessons learned along the way.At this stage in my life, I am very comfortable with who I am and who I am not. I have readily accepted life and learned well what qualities I value and will hold tight to them and never let them go. I believe that laughter and conversation are at the root of all successful long-term relationships, as well as honesty and trust. I am ready to work collaboratively on whatever it takes to protect the bond of real love, for I'm secure in knowing that anything of true value is worth working for and will require a few bold and courageous decisions. I also know the extreme importance of chemistry...that magical, elusive quality that simply can't be described but rather felt. I love to touch and be touched often. No secrets and lots of intimacy!I like to treat a man like he's the most miraculous, wonderful creation on earth. Many pleasures and benefits result. I've learned a few things here. When I find him, we'll have a strong connection whether together or apart. I want to attract the man that meets the depth of my heart's capacity to love. I fuel romance automatically. It's innate, that switch is always on. I'm looking for a man who is driven by his own passions, but wants to make me one of them... I know he's out there. I'm a great catch if you have the right glove. I am not here to play games, rather, I seek a quality person & strong chemistry to develop something vibrant & real. I believe in the power of attraction. Just be yourself and I'll do the same. We'll find each other.I vaguely recall one musing that it were far better to enter the arena and be bloodied, scarred and even defeated... than to languish on the sidelines ever the spectator, timidly never seizing the opportunity, never knowing if success might have been yours. Physical and emotional intimacy are equally important... I'm looking for a lover who is also my best friend. Someone who both inspires and challenges me. I offer no less. I'm willing to take risks to find that very special person. I absolutely adore men, everything about them, but ultimately I'm looking for one remarkable man to be the focus of my adoration. The thought of falling in love makes me smile every day.Regarding matters of the heart, I agree with Harry when he tells Sally, "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." I have come to know that some of my happiest years lie ahead of me and I look forward to sharing each one of them. Although my life is very fulfilling in itself and all I have to do is look around me to realize just how blessed I truly am, I am still very much aware that I'm missing one extremely important ingredient. The type of love I am holding out for will conquer anything in its path.It's all about the journey....so let's have some FUN and see what develops!

    I am Enid by name, single never been married and have no kids ..I am a very caring and sensitive person, I am a level headed, down to earth person who is totally devoted to the one I love. I tend to be shy at first, but I will open up quickly with the right person.I am confident, calm, and happy. An introvert by nature, I am quiet, structured, and organized. i think I'm a pretty easy going person. I love to be shown affection and don't have any problem whatsoever showing the right person lots of of it, i always say if its better to give than to receive. I think that i have a pretty "strange" sense of humor at times. i look at it this way i'd rather make a joke than to sit around and dwell on things i can't do much of anything about.I literally despise people who put on or lie about things and think they can get away with it where I'm concerned.I consider myself a sensitive, kind, and gentle person who enjoys being with people. I like going to the movies, listening to music, taking long walks on the beach.Favorite activities are going to the movies,taking walks the beach, being healthy. Most of all I love to be romantic for that special someone

    Woman. 52 years old. Zodiac sign: Leo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 49-59

    I am currently staying at my folks helping them out. (my father has cancer) Not sure what the future hold for me as to where my butt will be planted for the long term but today I am here and I know I will be tomorrow.; 24. I love the arts and seeing all the ways others express themself through their work. I truly enjoy jam'n on some keyboards, pick'n my guitar a bit, good movies, laugh'n alot, playing games (board games that is!), nice walks n talks, camping by a creek and spending time with my family. I would like to meet a friend or two that has similar interest and would like to make a good friend. Am I looking for that perfect mate? Not really. I was always told that when I stop looking that is when he would appear. So I stopped. And now I wait but I always have room for another good timing friend. There is so much to do and see in the world and to be able to share those times with another makes it that much better. I am a very honest, caring, compassionate, loyal woman that loves to have a really good time and laugh alot. No expectations, no pressure, no games. I believe that we should treat another as we would like to be treated. I am open to chat'n alot, getting to know one another on here and then taking it from there. This internet way of meeting people can be a bit scarry, but I am a risk taker and not into the bar scene (alone) so I will just keep checking on here and seeing what alittle faith and patience can bring me!! I lost my dad to his cancer on March 3, ***and my life hasn't been the same since. He was my #1 Man, my best friend and mentor and I just am feeling alittle lost without him. But I pray everday to continue to find my way. I miss him terribly but I am very thankful that I was able to spend months of quality time with him and I was able to say good-bye. I ended up staying up here to support my oldest daughter while she was going through a difficult time and then I found out I was going to be a grandma so of course I had to stay for that. I don't get to see him very much and I have a pretty hard time with that so I also pray about that everyday. I was ready weeks ago. And the weather up here seems to just get darker, grayer and wetter and it sucks!!!! (excuse my language) But enough is enough.! Well that pretty much wraps it up. It is 11pm and I am about ready to call it a day. Play my guitar alittle, pray and hit the sheets!!! (well, couch, (I am staying at my daughter's)Oh and I am looking for someone I can find a common ground with, laugh with, share with, explore with. Someone who respects individuality, loves music, walking, animals, family time (of course fishing!) and believes in God. Time is going so fast and it seems to really get faster as we get older. My life line is a moving and I have a huge "Bucket List". Take care Let's see-a first date. Well the word "Date" makes me alittle uneasy. Probably due to the fact that the last time I went on a date was about 25 yrs ago and it was a blind date it was terrible! So yes it makes me alittle nervous but IF I were to go on one I would probably like a day time activity to start with. Maybe an art festival or outdoor concert. Possibly a trip to a zoo or museum. Nice lunch somewhere, good conversation and a small ice cream cone for the ride home. But then again, all that could change and I certainly am open to suggestions and always willing listen to your ideas. Just casual, no pressure, good time and a new good friend.

    Woman. 54 years old. Zodiac sign: Gemini.

    Looking for: man. In age: 51-61

    I like movies, action, adventure, sci-fi, not into horror - they give me nightmares. lol I don't have any tatoos - although if you do that's ok. I could never decide which one I liked above all others and where it should go. So I'm still thinking...I like traveling. I was in the Air Force as a young adult from ***thru ***, 4 years and 8 months.- I would like to say that I can travel at a moments notice but I can't - due to my job I have to plan ahead. I love the warm tropical times of the year. I like most kinds of music. I like to dance, when I do housework, lol. My friends would describe me as dependable, hard working, funny and a good friend. If I can make you laugh, all the better!. I know most people say that they have a sense of humor, but my friends tell me I'm funny, really!I like sports, I like to participate more than watch. Although my sister is very knowledgeable about football and basketball so when playoffs or the superbowl is on, I watch a couple of games so we can have something to talk about.. I have gone to flat track races, superbike races, nascar and nhra. I took a flat track class Dec 09 and had a blast! I like riding my motorcycle, I would not consider myself a 'biker'. My parents rode motorcycles and I've grown up with them. I really drove a replica indy car - it was a rush and I loved it, I wish I could have gone faster. I'm not a perfect body type, I've lived life, had kids (two).I work on my home, yard work and whatever I think I can handle. I'm not afraid of work and don't mind getting dirty as long as I can take a long hot shower! I like architecture and history - and how things work. I am curious about a lot of things and hope I never feel like I know it all! - I love seeing my grandkids looks of wonder on their faces when something catches their eye. I still believe in romance and love. I just got back on line after a couple of years. will post a new pic soon. hair is a lot longer, not much else different, same eye color. my first date would be over coffee/tea, talking about what we like to do. Maybe movies we've seen or books we've read, or things we want to do. Watching for a spark, and taking it from there...
