About Me

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I'm just getting back into this, and planning on taking things very slowly...baby steps....just sticking my toes in for now. Your patience is so appreciated :)I believe any good relationship starts with a great friendship. And that is where I hope to begin as well. Ultimately, would I like a committed relationship? ABSOLUTELY!! But the friendship foundation needs to be there! So, looking forward to meeting lots of people, making new friends, and hopefully, ending up with someone perfect for me!I know I am looking for a friend, an activity partner, a companion, and hopefully so much more. I've learned that although I don't NEED someone in my life, I really enjoy being in a relationship...it makes me a better person! I've recently hit several milestones and am now welcoming this new found freedom and all of the opportunities ahead. I do hope to meet someone close in age and fairly local. I would rather spend my time with my man, than driving to get to him!I find myself to be very particular about what I am looking for in a man, so please don't take it personally if I don't think we are a match. You may be absolutely fabulous, but just not what I am seeking. I don't mean for it to sound shallow, but I feel most people have a 'type' they are attracted to...you might not be able to necessarily describe it, you just know it when you feel it. It's a personal preference. I know what I am looking for, and respect that you do too! Initial attraction and chemistry is a must for me, so I apologize, no picture, no response..... it's only fair. MUST LOVE TO KISS, enjoy affection, and sometimes even spoil me! I think I was a princess in a former life! LOL! But trust me, I love making the man in my life feel special as well. And he must love to KISS! Looking for someone who can't help but touch me every time he walks by me! A relationship that our friends wish they had! And did I mention that I LOVE KISSING?!? I am hoping I find someone who thinks of me when I'm not there, and enjoys when I let him know that I thought of him throughout the day, too! Looking for a man who occasionally likes to make the effort to plan a date...doesn't have to be extravagant, just show the effort. Would like to find someone who asks good questions and listens to the answers. I want to be courted....A romantic at heart...maybe sending flowers on Tuesday....because it's Tuesday!! A female basically wants a polite thug! Someone who will open the door for her, but still smack that ass when she walks past!I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle and hope you are too! This includes eating better (Do you like to cook?) and more exercise (Accepting applications for a personal trainer, just sayin'...I sometimes need someone to whoop my ass at the gym)ME: Sometimes shy, silly, affectionate, love shopping (who doesn't), calm, happy, good communicator, a giver, always learning, willing to try, willing to fight hard for what I believe in, believe in paying-it-forward, rainbows, Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes, four-leaf clovers, fate, The Secret, and True Love!!-keeled, willing to try new things, romantic, strong, available, willing/able to communicate, have good character (it's about what you do when no one is watching), a man's man, a little bit old-fashioned AND a little bit BAD BOY with an edge, appreciate the little things, enjoy being spoiled!Thank you for reading Chapter One! Again, I appreciate the patience of a man who understands me! I wish you all the best in your search! Happy Fishing!! I prefer to have a "first meeting" (meet-n-greet) *** a first date! Then we don't have to worry so much! Maybe we meet for a drink after work! If all goes well, we can look forward to our 'real' first date....butterflies and all! I prefer something simple and casual....talk a little and see if we both feel a connection! It is usually pretty clear if we feel the desire to make a first date! And if not, we part as new friends!! Just excited to make this happen. Hoping to find someone who wants to put in the effort as well!

    Well here I go changing again! for those of you who've read my profile before you might like this new thing changing it often. Lol. Truly though I feel like there's no point in talking about the past it is the past. My marital status will be separated untill it's divorced if it matters to you you'll know when that happens, I want to say more about me and what I want (of course). I am a woman who enjoys getting dressed for an evening out with my man, I like to take my time, to do my hair, have my nails done, pick the right dress, shoes,etc. I want you to be proud to be out with me and I want to be with someone I can be proud to be out with. Now with that said I can get down and dirty on game day with the best of them. I love live sports and whatever it is I'm going to I can represent my team with the best of them as you can see! I love boating, snorkeling, I am a certified diver but haven't been in a while (not much right here in this area). I love live music all kinds if you played my ipod you'd swear it was stolen and someone couldn't figure out how to erase some stuff. Theres everything from country to rock, hard rock and enya! and some obscure artist not too many would recognize. I have gone to many concerts even by myself that's how much I enjoy them. I am not afraid to do/go anywhere on my own if I want to. Life is to short to miss it has it happens and it seems I make friends wherever I go. I love just to have fun, I love to laugh, I am joyful, I love to challenge myself learning new things and I enjoy that in my man as well as long as where here right! I don't like drama I've been there done that, don't want to fight to be quite honest theres really not that much worth getting that upset over and two grown adults should be able to talk and compromise to a happy medium. I am very warm and affectionate, I like to hold hands, I love long slow kisses, I have discovered a new openess to a certain level of pda. I am looking for someone who can rise to meet me, who can challenge me to be better, yet still love me as I am. It is the heart, soul and character of a man I'm looking for and I hope there looking at mine! I want my guy to be my best friend although I think a healthy amount of time with our friends apart is important. I want my guy to be the one I want to call first with the exciting news, or cry to when it's rough, or celebrate the best. I also want that great chemistry-- part of that long slow kiss is so you can feel those butterflies in your tummy or your nose tingle whatever lets you know this is special and it doesn't come around too often hold on too it. So here I am, but I would like to find the special someone to take me away from here (POF) no offense :) I think the first date should be very casual no pressure check each other out meet for coffee or drinks see how we mesh and go from there, if nothing, nothing lost. If good the rest of the evening is ours to do what we want.

    I am very easy going. I enjoy doing anything outside - weather permitting. I love being outside in the summer but usually prefer a good movie on a cold night. I am an old-fashioned Italian girl and it gives me great pleasure to cook and feed my family and friends. I've been told I'm pretty good at it. I also LOVE going out to eat. Food has always been a big part of my life growing up in an Italian family. I love the ocean - being on it in a boat and/or relaxing on the beach with a good book. I could spend every day in the summer on the beach and never get bored. Exercise and healthy eating are important but I do love good food and have a weakness for ice cream.I go to the gym, run, really love yoga and I play softball on a coed team in the summer.Family is very important to me. I have 2 great children (both over ***who mean the world to me and I enjoy spending time with, AND a 5 year old niece who I adore. I also help to care for my grandparents who are 95 and 98,I would like to meet a man, become friends first, and see where it goes...Just a side note: We (women) want to see pictures of YOU. Not your pets and not scenery. You could show us that when we meet. And your pictures should show your face. If the pictures of you show you in the background of a beautiful landscape - very far away - we can't see what you look like. ?? Good luck! A first date should be light and casual. No pressure. If that goes well - a nice dinner with a bottle of wine and good conversation.

    Woman. 49 years old. Zodiac sign: Aquarius.

    Looking for: man. In age: 46-56

    I'm finally at a stage in my life where I can start doing things that make me happy. My family and children have always been my biggest priority and still are but they do not need my full attention anymore. Most of my children now have families of their own. With my free time I enjoy traveling, camping, hiking, motorcycle events and most community activities. What I would like to find is someone who has similar interests, an awesome sense of humor, is creative, hard working, and honest. I am not in a hurry to settle down into a serious relationship but I would not rule it out if I were to find Mr. Right. I suppose I have to start somewhere so it might as well be here. Fun is top on list for a first date...either there is a connection or not. There is no reason to waste each others time if there is not a mutual interest. If there is that's great...if not I heard there are plenty of fish....lol
