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!

    I’m a great friend, very affectionate and loving. I am a loyal and honest person. I like to try new things, go places I’ve never been, take a road I’ve never been on to see what I can find. I love to go out for dinner, dancing, listening to live bands downtown, walking on the beach and going to the movies. I also enjoy staying in enjoying a barbeque and watching tv snuggled together on the sofa.I find serenity in being near the water.I’m looking for a confident take charge type of man. I am here searching for the love of my life. I want a man who can make me smile across a crowded room as though we know a secret that no one else knows. I’d like to find someone who is caring, affectionate and intelligent.Looking forward to hearing from you.

    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!

    Fun, romance, friendship and love. Why does that seem so hard to find? I have been on here a little while now and I have found so many men are not who they say they are. Why say you are romantic, buy flowers and open car doors only for the woman to find out you are not like that at all or any more? You have been burnt so many times and are bitter that she does not get to see that side of you. Or you ask a woman out, she arrives and the man has not decided which groupon he wants to use after having days to plan the date. Or by the second or fourth date he is just trying to sleep with you. It is no wonder I hear so many men say women are serial daters. Aren't so many men too? A drama free life...really? When have you ever had or seen a drama free life? Lol. Even pastors in church have problems and drama. I have my kids ***. Is my life drama free? No. Are my kids perfect? No. Any parent who has their kids all the time cannot say they live a drama free life or that their kids are perfect. I have been witness several times to a man thinking that way. Or bitter because he has to pay child support. I am NOT bitter from my past relationships and believe me I could be. I believe in friendship and love and their are good people out there. I choose to believe that way and I don't take out my past on my relationships. Am I scared? Of course, no one wants to be hurt. But you never know until you give someone a chance. There are no guarantees when it comes to love. I am an attractive woman who likes to have fun and laugh. I like to hold hands, kiss and be romantic. Go on picnics, sit out and look up at the stars at night while snuggled by a bonfire. I very much like hugs too. : ) I would also like to find someone to play sports with and teach me about them. I am a diverse individual who has many likes and I am not afraid to try new things...except jumping from a plane. I do like to go out to dinner as well as cook at home. Cooking together while nice music is playing and maybe sneaking in a dance and kiss. Outdoor activities as well as indoor fun. I also enjoy spending time with my kids. So it is important that the man I am with also likes kids and not someone who just wants to ALWAYS be alone with me and not include them. I am their mother first and foremost. I will not settle. Life is to short to live in the past. You can not change it, only learn from it. Build a better relationship from what you have learned and don't punish others for what you have been through. conversation and a nice dinner getting to know one another
