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!

    Woman. 48 years old. Zodiac sign: Capricorn.

    Looking for: man. In age: 45-55

    I can see my life entering a new phase soon, and I am determined to find the right person to share it with. I've raised my son by myself and as such my personal life has taken a backseat for oh say the last decade ... but I don't regret it at all. As I find myself with more time and freedom, I look forward to meeting the one person I can build a lasting, intimate partnership with. My past was quite turbulent. It's mostly uneventful now, and I like it that way. Don't confuse that with boring, however, there's fun everyday and I laugh so so so often. My first job in life is my son, and I have worked hard to give us both a great life. I am eager to invite the right person to join the fun. My job-job is hi tech sales, it's high pressure but I love it. I seem to be always on the run and I like to decompress at the gym, hiking, riding my road bike or of course a great happy hour. I love my small circle of friends and am eager to share the joys in my life with those around me. Taking the time to get to know me, you'll find that I'm independent, energetic, successful, low drama, funny, smart .. .and one heck of a cook! My match? I appreciate height, intelligence, humor, energy and independence. I'm looking for that connection, that person who's got my back while I have his, who makes me stretch farther and experience more than I will on my own. You're still reading? Without strong family ties of my own, I'm definitely searching for that in a LTR (have no fear, your mom's gonna love me!) I have a huge heart that gets hurt easily, so if you're not sincere please click to the next profile (I hear she's easy). Seriously, please be at least a year out of your marriage. I almost forgot the most important part. I make a great partner! I'm there, but not incessantly. I give and receive love, but am not needy. I am passionate, but not psychotic -- and old enough to know the difference. My ideal first date? A quiet spot, coffee shop, wine bar, park bench .. Someplace relaxed so we can share more about ourselves, hear and see each other. This time should give us both ample opportunity to size each other up :-) Ha! That sounds a lot colder than I intended, but you get the idea!

    Woman. 50 years old. Zodiac sign: Taurus.

    Looking for: man. In age: 47-57

    Hi! If I meet a man with whom I experience great compatibility, I will be a marriage-minded person since I believe that this is the sacred way of commitment and love between a man and a woman.I have been deeply dedicated for the past 18 years to raising my son; most of those years as a single mom. I am a non- I am extremely proud of my accomplishment in my rewarding journey as a mother. I love to dance, read, study and am spiritually focused. Both the mountains and the beach bring me a deep sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. I definitely enjoy quiet contemplative times on a regular basis but also need my out in the community, extrovert opportunities. I am currently exploring going in business for myself.I am looking for a man who is successful in his life, like I am - even though his success will likely look different from mine. What I am saying here is that I consider myself successful even though I am in a modest place financially. It is also important to me that a man takes care of himself physically. He does not have to be a bodybuilder, no need for that please, and I don't mind a solid body, but health should be important to him. Also it is important to me that he has done some inner work. All of us experience things in life that challenge us, but it is what we do with those difficult experiences that will make all the difference. Did you use it as a vehicle to get closer to Spirit/God? I have used my life experiences as a vehicle for personal growth and to come into a deeper spiritual understanding of myself, God, and life in general. My main motto is: Always choose back into the joy and love of yourself and others.I am interested in creating a relationship based on awareness. Creating such a relationship to me means that my partner and I would make certain agreements and commitments about how we communicate with each other and how we support ourselves and each other in being fully and lovingly present in most moments. Other ideas or philosophies welcome.I am an open and excellent communicator and share from my heart and intuition. I prefer to be in my feminine softer expression, but it certainly is helpful to do that in the loving company of a strong but sensitive man. It took effort and a deep trust as well as a deep belief in the beauty of my femininity, to maintain that femininity and I hope to find a man who deeply understands this. Many blessings.-year old son and me.-!
