Looking for: man. In age: 48-58
A mean spirited person recently did a line by line critique of my profile, and though I in general didnt take it too personally it did remind me that my profile was do for an overhaul.The basics:I am moving to NC and will be there mid September. And yes I do have a southern accent. I have two grown children currently living in LA and Chcago. At this age I realize that eating healthy and gym time are going to have to be a part of life if I want to stay being small. As the that reference, I am short and small but I am by no means a twiggy girl. I have curves and muscles and would have described myself as curvy but was told that was code for fat and I am by no means fat.I do try and eat healthy most of the time but life is too short to not indulge occasionally! I am an interior designer and have spent the last twenty years managing flooring stores. I had a poly sci and pre-law double major and sometimes I wonder how in the world I got from that to here, but life happens! I am a good cook and I love to bake. I just need someone to bake for so I dont eat it! I love to garden and do yard and do have a bit of a green thumb. I have my own power tools ( well they are currently in storage, explanation to come) and have done several remodel projects thanks to hurricanes and new houses!The contradictions:I love to shop! I shop more for entertainment than for need usually. I love the challegne of finding that rare item at an unbeleiveable low price. However I am not one of those girls that likes to spend the day out with the girls shopping, I would much rather spend the day watching football! So although I might look like a girly girl and have tons of hot shoes, I am probably a tom-boy at heart! I love most all sports, but probably football , baseball and hockey are my favorites. I am a huge football fan, college and pro.- Roll Tide! And I have recently realized you dont have to be a sports fan to catch my attention! The next contradiction! Although I have done building interiors for the last twenty years, I prefer exteriors! I love buildings and architecure. I like the mountains and the beach! Spring and fall but will admit I do prefer fall! There are times I will talk your head off and other times I set back and take it all in. You will particularly notice that on long car rides. The journey:My recent critic pointed out that the following information makes me sound unstable. This did hurt my feelings since I felt I was sharing something very personal to me. First off, I own a home, had a very successful career and raised two terrific, stable , successful children on my own. I dont think you can get much more stable than that! That being said, on my 49th birthday I realized I was not happy and needed to make some changes in my life. I got back in shape, sold my big SUV , rented out my house, and decided I needed to find what was going to make me happy for the next 50 years. Yes this was proabably a mid-life crisis but there have been several important people in my life that didnt live to see 50 and I realized we take for granted that tomorrow is guaranteed. Well a few months after I got there my daughter left to go to LA and business turned bad and it seemed crazy to stay somewhere alone and unhappy! So I gave some thought to what I really find joy in, alone or with someone, and that was travelling. With that knowledge and that this inner feeling I have had for years that there was something I was supposed to go out there and find, I set out on my current adventure. I packed up my household goods and put them in storage and set out to find that person, calling, or just the place I am supposed to be. I really don't know which it is and I really hope it is all three. I can and will provide all the details on that in person. I try to tell everyone, that although NC is where I am now, that if I find that person I am suppose to find and they are not here, I am in a position to go wherever I need to go. So just because I am currently not the girl next door, don't discount me because tomorrow I might be!The man:Hmmm... that is the hardest part! We all have our typical physical types we are attracted to but I have found with age I like all types! What I am looking for is someone who can put a smile on my lips and my in my heart. I want someone who I cant wait to share my crazy stories with! I am at a point I want to find that person to spend the rest of my life with, so it would be my hope that is where you are too. I want someone who is open minded and not judgemental. Someone who has the strength to tell me to stop when I need to stop but the insight to let me fly when I need to soar. Someone who knows it takes two to make a relationship work and is willing to put the time and effort into a relationship. I will tell you everyday what you mean to me and I would hope to find someone that can express their feelings and feels secure enough with me to let me share theirs dreams, desires and hurts. It is a big chance we take putting our hearts out there knowing full well we can get hurt, but I need someone willing to take that chance. Great rewards only come with great risk and I know it is hard to risk your heart, but I am taking that chance and putting mine out there, and I hope to find that someone also willing to do the same. After having written this now twice I know there are things I left out, but I have bored you enough! If you want the sequel all you have to do is ask! And if you fell asleep reading this you can thank the jerk who prompted me to rewrite my profile! Good luck with your search and I hope we all find that which completes us.

Hry guys! I am sitting here going through endless profiles as all others looking for that "someone special". I have raised two children for the most part alone and I am very proud of the young adults they have become. I am not the most beautiful but I have been told I'm "a cutie". I am definitely comfortable in my own skin are you? In July my daughter made me a "Nonnie" thats grandma to some LOL. I have a ***year career as an X- I work hard and I enjoy my time off. I took a weekend position so I can take care of my grandson a few days during the week(gives my daughter peace of mind). The weekends are a sacrifice for now but well worth it.....I know my schedule doesn't fit with most.....they get weekends off.I am confident, open minded, sincere, independent, loyal, honest, intelligent, kind, straight forward, spontaneous and someone you would like by your side in hard times. My friends say I have "IT" and can't understand why I'm single. My kids say I'm "picky". I like to think of it as being selective. I know what I have had in my life and know what I don't want.I enjoy hiking, NASCAR, hanging out on a boat or at the beach, online games, taking a drive no map involved, working in my garden, mountains, fishing (even ice fishing), horseback riding, quadding, snowmobiling, motorcycle riding and a lot more. I have become very active working out and it shows(smile). I grew up listening to rock & roll (50's-80's) but I dig country, blues and jazz....it's all good. I recently received my motorcycle license (on my birthday) and definitely will be getting a bike in the near future. My daughter says I am going through midlife crisis. I feel your never too old to learn and expand yourself. For my next "midlife events" I want to get certified in SCUBA Diving and get my pilots license (first lesson is in April ) I am taking up guitar....serenade anyone???? What I am looking for is my best friend, lover, partner in crime, confidant, someone that can laugh at themselves(I laugh at things I do all the time)someone that isn't afraid to show their "softer side" and hopefully someone I could trust my heart to. I am ultimately looking for a long term relationship. I put "dating" as to what I'm looking for I think you need to do that before it moves further don't you? I am looking to starting out as friends if thats possible and I hope I can find my best friend here and experience my last first date/kiss. What are my chances?Take a chance and say Hi you may be pleasantly surprised. Smile it makes people wonder what you have been up to !!!! It could be a drink, coffee, motorcycle ride, walk, ice cream or dinner. I am not picky just somewhere to talk and get a feel for someone. ***\\***Please***\\\***Put This***On Your***account If***You Know***\\\***Someone***\\***Who Died ***\***Of***\\\***Cancer***\\\***Or whom maybe suffering from it***\\\***OR A SURVIVOR !! I Miss and love you Pop, Bacci, Joan....Keep fighting Deb !!!!!!!
