About Me

I am a woman, a mother, and successful career professional who is in love with life, the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the beauty of nature. I maxed out my retirement at my job with 34 years of creditable service and I retired as of July 1, ***. While I do think I can adjust to this new lifestyle, I expect it to be temporary and do intend to return to work until my youngest son is through college. For now I'm decompressing, having some fun, doing some house projects (yes, I'm quite handy for a lady) and eventually I'll seek employment again. I'm not a lady who sits idle, so for me busy is good and my guy needs to be able to keep up the pace.I thrive on soaking up the sun, love digging in the dirt to see what flowers I can grow or landscaping project I can undertake. I enjoy live music, sports, almost anything that takes me outside, arts, traveling, family time, fine dining, casual entertaining, the beach and the mountains. The beach recharges me and time at my mountain house provides down time, fresh air and is always a nice weekend get away. In ***I was introduced to the fun of couples dancing and came to enjoy East & West Coast Swing, and a few other dances. If you enjoy couples dancing, you get bonus points and if you love swing, then double points for you, as I really do want to dance regularly again.Having lost loved ones, I know how fragile life can be. I value life, family, honesty, health. I try to be positive, make the most of each moment, eat healthy, exercise and work hard at everything I do. I made the switch to a vegetarian diet June ***. I value both organic and vegan diets, but am far from those diets at this point. I have no expectations of a vegetarian partner, but I do want a partner who will encourage me to exercise as I continue my journey to a healthier lifestyle. I work hard to remain at my ideal weight, am far from perfect and don't seek perfection, but I'm not attracted to men who are over weight. Therefore, I seek a slim, toned or athletic individual, not someone significantly over weight.I am emotionally and financially stable, so I don't "need" but do "want" a relationship. The quality man I seek should be of similar age, and understand that with a 17 year old son, I am first a mom. While dating, I hope to meet someone with whom I can eventually build a trusting relationship with a view toward an eventual long term exclusive relationship. That having been said, I seek a man who is happy, makes me laugh, values nutrition, health, shares values, pleasures, respects me and is a true gentleman. I want my partner to know how to dress when we go out, to know and use manners, open doors for me and his reassuring arm on me should give me that, "I am his his lady" feeling. Don't be mistaken, he should have enough bad boy in him to cause me to smile and shake my head in amazement at times. A beginning with physical attraction, common interests, friendship, laughter, respect and trust should be a great foundation for a solid friendship and potential relationship. My children include a married daughter, a son age 21 and a son age 17, who have always been the center of my world. My daughter graduated college, works and gave our family a beautiful child Nov ***. My oldest son is a Senior at UGA this fall (Go Dawgs!) and my youngest son is a Junior in high school. As I reflect, their childhood days have passed at lightening speed. I'm enjoying the last couple of years with a son still home, yet beginning to consider and embrace the many transitions ahead, this new phase of life....retirement, returning to the work force for a second but brief career, and the youngest son eventually leaving the nest.I am a woman with many skills,enjoy order, a well maintained yard and home. I'm comfortable in jeans/shorts and a "T", but also have an assortment of little black dresses, heels and jewelry to dress up and join you on the town. I love concerts, dancing, live music, or a quiet evening at home with my man sharing a beer by the pool or a bottle of wine as we make dinner. I want to meet my new best friend, and eventual long term partner. We are not all going to have that essential chemistry or be partners, but I will try to respond to those who contact me, for everyone deserves words and acknowledgement.I never planned to grow old alone and I still don't; However, I won't settle, so this search seems to be long and ongoing. Thanks for reading my profile. God's speed on your journey and may good health and happiness be abundant in your life as we each search for that one person who may become our life partner. "It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best you very often get it". ~W. A coffee shop in the morning, a restaurant for lunch, an appetizer, a beer, a glass of wine, dinner, a frozen yogurt or a walk in the park. Anything goes as long as it affords both the opportunity to determine if we each wish to spend additional time together. Following us meeting, if we wish to see one another again, a first date could be anything we mutually decide. Surprise me and make a suggestion!

    Hello. Like most people, I hate writing about myself, but here we go...I love to keep busy and travel and learn new things. Life is an adventure and it is too dang short to sit around and not enjoy it! I consider myself to be fairly bright, sophisticated and professional. In addition, I am extremely independent. I am goofy and fun too. Enjoying life and socializing are my hobbies. By trade I am an "at-risk" high school teacher for a program called "CSS". How did I end up here?..... I have been separated for years. Ex lives with his girlfriend and we are both just good friends...more on that if you want to know more later. I have 2 grown boys. One will be home this summer and goes to MSU. If you are interested maybe we can talk, if not....good luck out there. :)

    Looking for: man. In age: 52-62

    Last year I retired with 32 years from Verizon and felt like I was being released from prison! I'm now back into real estate which has always been a passion for me and the economy has been coming back. I studied fine art and when it comes to open mike nite, I've been told I'm more of a words person than guitar player or singer.....( I knew that!) I've had alot of life changes in the last year or so but am excited with life and all its possibilities. I love to dress up and dine out. I love travel. I love animals and I love the South and everything Southern. I am a good hearted spiritual woman, a bit of a joker and just a tad bit crazy( or so they say!)...lol....... I'm a true beach bum and may be planning to buy and build somewhere along the coast in the Carolinas -- I'm looking for someone with looks and a personality who likes to laugh with a positive outlook - Someone who has worked hard to get themselves where they are today, who has goals and dreams and plans for the future who like me is now looking to enjoy the finer things life has to offer. I run a real busy schedule but would like to meet someone I get along with whose company I enjoy...Ciao, talk soon, Jeanette Coffee or a drink somewhere interesting...........

    Looking for someone is a lot tougher than I thought it would be. Don't you all agree? Although many say the same thing. I think maybe we all get hung up on pictures. Looks are a great thing to have but let's face it, we are in our 50's or close to it. Looking for a 20 year old isn't what we need unless you are 20 but if you are 20 you won't be looking at my profile anyway. Lol.....Rejection absolutely sucks but if you've been on here a little while you have experienced it in some way. I have been called sweetie, baby, honey, and told how beautiful i am. Taken to lunch, dinner, motorcycle rides, boat trips, and picnics. I am real people. I am exactly what you see. I will make you a good mate. On the flip side i have been told, sorry, not looking for heavy weights, not looking for a career woman, they want someone free to travel and whatever else What I said is true and I want the same in return. I don't want to be your everything, I want to be everything to you and want you to be everything to me. I have been married twice and might again if the right man came along. The first marriage was 13 years, the second was 22 years. I haven't dated too much but looking to change that until I find who I'm looking for...... I work a full time job that is my career but time off to spend with you can and will happen, it's not my life. All the pictures in my profile are current. Nothing earlier than March ***. Most in middle March. The picture is the red shirt was taken last week. What you see is what you get. I'm not fake, I'm real. I like country music and old rock the most but don't mind any music except Rapp...yuck. I like to cook but don't mind if you cook either. I like to go to movies, watch a movie at home with a bag of popcorn or a glass of wine, riding motorcycles, going out on boats, being with mr right would be awesome in any adventure. Let's see how this works out. Feel free to contact me and we can talk about it. First date to be something easy, like coffee where we could talk and be alone to get to know each other.
