About Me

Hi!Thank you for stopping by! I enjoy the outdoors, the warmth of the sun and good friends. I have a 23 y/o daughter and she is currently living at home. She is a recent graduate from Hamline University. I asked her to say one good thing about me for my meetville profile. She rolls her eyes and says, "ugh...really? I guess you would be the cool mom." I realized that being the cool mom is not so bad. .......... I have never married, however I was in a 23 year long-term relationship with my Daughter's father.I am the property manager at a ***unit residential rental home community. I am in the process of finishing my last semester towards my Bachelors Degree in Law Enforcement/Criminal Justice and currently enrolled in my last two classes. I graduate in December ***. I volunteer for many non-profits, such as; a victim's advocate/liaison, the annual "Hope Rocks"-call for one of the Metro Sheriff's Departments. My journey has made me who I am and I feel good in my own skin. I tend to be competitive, walk off the beaten path, and I occasionally will step out of my comfort zone. I prefer honesty over flattery and I have a low tolerance for drama. Our vulnerabilities and imperfections are often what allow others to relate to us. My favorite types of food include; Sushi/sashimi, Thai, Indian, Mexican.....however a burger and a beer at a small town bar is always a great option. My musical tastes are all over the board, however I recently started listening to Cities 97. Does this mean I am growing up? I am 5' ***" and looking for someone at least my height or taller, between the ages of ***. I am attracted to men that are physically active, have dark hair, clean shaven (or have very little facial hair), adventurous, silly and playful. I am looking for laughter, "spark" (chemistry) and mutual attraction.-chain restaurants, bonfires, waterfalls, small towns, craft beers, margaritas, walking/hiking on the wooded trails and experiencing new adventures. Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it.One thing I want to do in the Spring ***is get my motorcycle endorsement/license. I always wanted to learn....plus my new bike is just sitting in the garage waiting. The happiest people do not have the best of everything, they make the best of everything! ;) First meet: Somewhere public and quiet. Happy hour, coffee, a local park or lake. If the chemistry is there, then a date would be the next step.

    Woman. 46 years old. Zodiac sign: Scorpio.

    Looking for: man. In age: 43-53

    so I guess that this is the place where I talk about me. I must first say that like everyone else I'm really not good at this part. Most all of my family are still there .I am an outside girl at heart and love going on adventures to new places.Please forgive my grammar errors. I am attempting to update my profile using my phone and I am about ready to throw it in the garbage... I have done a lot of soul searching this past year and have decided that I have spent a great deal of my adult life lying to myself about what i want. I have given up things I love and been afraid of rejection so I have played it safe. I don't want to play it safe anymore. I want passion with hot passionate kisses, hand holding and daring adventure and soulful conversations. I want butterflies in my stomach and my cheeks on fire because when i look in your eyes you know exactly what I want.. and that thought is enough to make my heart race and my hands roam. more later....or just ask. please don't take this to mean that I am looking for hook ups. I want a relationship. a partner. Confession time.. apparently I am horrible at the first date, I guess its nerves , not knowing how to act, not knowing how to show that I like someone. I am working on this flaw..I have very dry humor and I think that it may come off wrong..also working on this.. lolSide note... outward appearances you'll notice that I am a girly girl, I love my dress, doing my hair and wearing heels. But what you cant see is that I'm also very self reliant. I know how to spackle drywall I've done some light plumbing and Electrical. (I have changed out my garbage disposal and *** fans and dimmer switches) I can change a flat tire and change spark plugs. I took woodshop, auto shop and architectural drafting in high school. One summer our Father brought an old car home and as a summer project we dismantle that car bolt by bolt.I love to learn and thats all that stuff is. I read about something if I want to know how to do something. I think that a man that can fix things is sexy. There are a lot of things I cant do because im not smart enough or strong enough but damn it I will try. Please dont take this to mean that im a feminist in any way. I believe in equal rights but I love it when a man opens a door for me or offers me his arm and makes the first move and kisses me . I wasn't born in the south but I love thee Southern tradition. Something lightPlease have a picture on your profile. That is the only way I will respond. Thank you.

    Woman. 50 years old. Zodiac sign: Cancer.

    Looking for: man. In age: 47-57

    I'm a happy person who treats people well. I enjoy the beauty of all the seasons - yes, even winter. I grew up on a river and love to boat or kayak and never tire of sunsets over the water. I look forward to traveling more one day soon. For now I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, skiing, etc and writing new things on my bucket list - then checking them off. I've managed to get through rough times without losing a sense of humour, and knowing better days are ahead if you keep moving and stay positive. My partner will be smart, fun, be in good physical shape, passionate and trustworthy. A first date should put both people at ease. Lunch or drink in a public venue where it is private enough for easy conversation. The first date should make each person comfortable and if there's attraction, more intimate dates to follow.
