About Me

Exactly how does one write a profile to precisely capture the desired audience? What magical combination of words can possibly attract the personification of the traits I find attractive or adequately portray my true essence as a person and a woman? Most importantly how many men really do read these profiles? Myself: I am self-sufficient (capable of killing spiders, investigating loud noises in the night with large dog at side, and tackling minor home repairs and improvements), educated (degreed with a liberal arts foundation), intelligent (have my own opinions but, astute enough to know that "different" doesn't necessarily mean "wrong"), articulate (I guess you’ll need to converse with me to ascertain that trait! lol), and attractive (or so I've been told) with a deep love for children, animals and the outdoors. Some of my greatest passions are dog rescue, training and fostering. Spending time at the dog parks is one of my favorite ways to de-stress. Additionally, being outside, whether working in the yard with headphones and music, walking trails with the dogs or sitting on a patio listening to wind chimes and birds sing is a must to retain my sanity!My friends and family have remarked that I am empathetic, naturally happy, unpretentious, patient, and have a calming influence on others. Basically, I see the joy in life and the good in people, and more often than not, accept them on their own terms. My goal is to live each day with love, grace, humility and gratitude. I've lived a fabulous live but, the past has not always been “”. However, it has been a wonderful opportunity for learning and growth. As a result, I am free from the past and have moved forward as a better person with more wisdom and life experience. Traits I appreciate in a man: Attractive (someone attractive to me both on the inside and out), intelligent (the ability carry on a cogent conversation and participate in playful banter), articulate (The ability and willingness to speak your thoughts, both positive and negative....What REALLY catches my attention and interest is excellent writing skills with correct spelling and proper grammar.Oh my!!), optimistic, warm, patient (able to laugh at the daily frustrations in life most of the time and can see progress, above imperfection) and a professional persona. Also a love of dogs would be a fantastic bonus, but at least a "like" is necessary. Essentially looking for my equal and complement....someone who "gets" me and would never dream of wanting to change me. Have you seen him????In a perfect world of infinite possibilities..... I seek a man that I can respect, admire and adore for an eternity; a man that can tolerate and perhaps even nurture my creative binges, can find humor in the chaos of living with a house full of pets, has the maturity to weather the storm and the wisdom and faith to embrace uncertainty. However, today, I'd like to start SLOWLY with a developing friendship and see what progresses. Down the road, who knows?.....Perhaps you will make my heart skip a beat. ;) Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I wish you abundant success in finding what you seek. :) For that first meeting my preference would be a quiet location, e.g., coffee shop, to facilitate getting to know one another better, to determine the presence of that initial "spark" OR potential friendship.

    Woman. 52 years old. Zodiac sign: Scorpio.

    Looking for: man. In age: 49-59

    I am a fun loving, confident, down to earth, and happy woman who loves to laugh and enjoy life to the fullest. I am passionate, compassionate, expressive, and smile a lot. I have strong family values and always put my family first. I am intensely loyal and believe in complete honesty. NO GAMES or DRAMA for me! I love spending time with my family and friends above all else. I love to walk on the beach, take my dogs to the park, ride my bike, explore new places, go wine tasing, go to the movies, relax at the beach, share great conversation over a glass of wine (or beer), or spend a cozy night at home. I am young at heart and in spirit. I enjoy all types of music from Jazz to Hip Hop.I live by the golden rule and don't take my friends and family for granted. I express my feelings openly and honestly.I am very independent, yet I would love to find someone to share all the intimate details with, to be my best friend, my lover, and to compliment my life. For me, when the chemistry/intimacy is there we become one and there is no better feeling. I am looking for a man who is not afraid to talk about his feelings, is honest, kind and has strong moral values. I want a REAL man that can share all of himself with me. I believe intimacy, communication, honesty, friendship and mutual respect are the key components to a happy long lasting relationship. I am a "hopeful romantic" who still believes in love.... Lets meet for coffee or a drink to see if there is "mutual" chemistry....

    Woman. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.

    Looking for: man. In age: 50-60

    I am just a woman that leads a pretty quiet life. A lot of changes coming my way, but I am used to that. I try to roll with them now, and let things happen the way they are supposed to....naturally. However, being that I live a pretty quiet life, I am pretty sure that I am not going to meet someone of the opposite sex randomly. So I am giving fate a little nudge and saying "Hey Fate! Help me out here!" by online dating. Yeah, this is pretty much the world in which we live now. I don't want to *** endlessly. I pretty much am willing and able to meet someone for coffee or a glass of wine fairly quickly. Because all the *** the world don't matter if there is simply no chemistry when you meet someone face to face. Finally really LOVE my job. However, I want to lock the office at the end of the day and enter my LIFE. I want the work/life balance. I love to read and take photos, and I write. A lot. I have 3 grown kids that are all out on their own and doing amazing things. I couldn't be prouder of them. I feel that I must have done a few things right to end up with 3 great kids. I live with my dog Bing and she really likes to drag me around and around for walks. I also love to cook but so rarely do it for just myself. It's a shame really that we tend to feel that we aren't worthy of those things. Oops....I mean it's a shame that I do that I mean. I am excited to be a new Eastsider and I am having a lot of fun getting lost and ending up going around in circles. Hm....I think I sense a repeating pattern of behavior. :-) I love to travel, but don't because it's just me. I love to go to movies but I don't because it's just me. I love to go out and listen to music and dance but I don't because it's just me. I love to......yeah....but I don't, because it's just me. So....this is me trying to fix those things. If it happens, great, if it doesn't, well I guess I will still be a generally happy person that has great friends and an amazing family. Whatever works for us both.
