About Me

I would think that a lot of people would find this part of the profile process very difficult. Writing about oneself, honestly and objectively can be a daunting process. However, as I am a bit narcissistic, I am not one of those people. Here goes (be prepared, I tend to talk in bullet points): I am a 48-year-old, professional woman of Italian decent. I have a college education (B.A. in Communications and English). I am a voracious writer and rarely go anywhere without a journal and a book. I am a Certified Meeting and Event Planner/Marketing Director and contract out to mainly Fortune ***companies. I am as comfortable in a business suit as I am in my overalls. I made a commitment at the beginning of this year to “Create something cool every day” (ie; gardening, creating garden art, writing,creating new recipes) and have been 98% successful with that goal. I'm not a big fan of nightclubs but love live music. I would rather melt into your arms and dance than bump into others. I like the occasional outdoor activity but don't fish or hunt, but I don't care if you do. I would rather sit by a fire, read or write, or snuggle up next to you and just be. If I say I love you, I will mean it. If I say I'm sorry, I will also mean it. I expect the same. As I said in my headline, I think words are sexy. I'm just as likely to send you love letters filled with warmth and passion as I am a suggestive *** innuendo. I do a lot of different types of things around the cities. I would hope that you do too. As my mom always said, "You don't have to like it, you just have to try it." I am independent and self-sufficient (I can do basic car maintenance and minor plumbing repairs) but would welcome your help. I'm looking for a gentleman (I've kind of forgot what you fellas look like)who isn't afraid of my strengths and can off-set my weaknesses. I will do the same for you. I can take care of myself but am better as a team. You also have to not be afraid to tell me when I'm being nuts (because I can be). With regards to what I’m looking for, I think it might be easier to indicate what I’m not looking for but I think that would put an negative slant on this little biography and I try to always be a positive person. I’m looking for someone I can talk to. Someone with whom I can be a partner and a friend, as well as a lover. And, as much as I am looking for someone who is able to listen to and respect me, it is equally as important to me that he would offer honest advice and encouragement. We don’t have to agree on everything, but we DO have to respect each other’s opinions. I’m open to all physical types. It is more important to me that you are comfortable in your own skin. That being said, I am not a big fan of facial hair (although it is not a deal breaker). Education or profession aren’t as important to me as someone who is always searching for knowledge. Whether that is learning the history of the widget, how to re-wire a lamp or how to make great curry (all of which I know). I need someone who equally comfortable at a business dinner with me or at a coffee shop in Uptown. I love deeply and passionately. I know I might get hurt, but it is the only way in which to live completely. I need someone who isn't afraid of public or private displays of affection. Okay, now....sports. First and foremost, I LOVE football. Baseball I like to see live, hockey I like to see live and everything else I mostly tolerate (and am happy to do so - I can easily read or write while you are watching any one of the aforementioned events on television). I like golf and have played on many occasions. However, I am not good at it (I lift my head too soon) and will take lessons when I have the time. You should too. There are SO many delightful restaurants, shops, parks tucked away all over the cities. I love hardware stores. I can't explain why. Perhaps its because I love to build things. I have a storage unit full of stuff acquired from Goodwill, salvage shops, junkyards or the side of the road. Lest you think I am a hoarder, please note that it is well organized and that each item is in the process of becoming something else. To that point, I also love power tools and own my own.I am smart, funny and confident (and clearly modest) but like everyone else, have moments of doubt and insecurity. These are the times that will define our relationship. Sometimes I will need your help and advice and other times you won't be able to do anything but hold my hand. You need to be okay with both scenarios. I fight passionately (but fairly) and make up the same way. You won't need to guess with me. I will tell you what I mean, what I want and what I need. You will need to do the same and be comfortable with doing so.Okay, I guess that's it for now. Its your move.Cheers!P.S. One last thing...bobble-heads crack me up! Our first date will be casual and public. Perhaps a drink in a quiet bar or a coffee in raucous cafe. Either way, before we get to that, we will get to know each other on line. Work out the bumps (as it were)and make sure we have enough in common to take that next step. As I've said...words are sexy.

    Woman. 48 years old. Zodiac sign: Sagittarius.

    Looking for: man. In age: 45-55

    This is the first time I have ever been on a dating website, and honestly I am not quite sure what to think yet. So, here we go...I enjoy spending time with my kids, my family and friends. I am a very independant, caring, creative, outgoing and honest person. As you can tell, I change my hair color often but I have never been a blonde, it's just not me! I have a few tattoos and want a few more, but I keep it professional. Fun is the only option...leave your drama at the door. I listen to all kinds of music but rock n roll is my favorite, old and new. I like to go out but I also enjoy my quiet time at home with a good book or movie. I like a guy who is attentive but I don't need him around ***...like they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. I would like to get to know someone a little bit through texting or phone calls to see if there is any chemistry and we can take it from there.

    Woman. 50 years old. Zodiac sign: Virgo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 47-57

    In the middle of creating new career focus which means little to no fun travel right now :-(.-). I consider myself strong and independent and enjoy a man who compliments that with personality, since action really matters most right now. I do workout on a regular basis, but prefer being active outdoors, hiking, biking or kayaking and would love a partner that shares the same lifestyle. I love real food and real people, although I have been known to eat fruity pebbles on occasion. :-) Although I do not have any of my own, I love kids and dogs and hope to have a part of both in my life again.I lead a busy social life, but find that Saturday nights, if I am not at a social function, I really love to wine and dine at home. As a sexy girl, I prefer to have a man who wants a threesome :-) comprising of my mind, body and soul. I can be very deep with conversation but playful is a must in any connection with me. ;***. You may want to also know that I am over educated :-) so I am a little brainiac . Well I am not into endless ***, ;-) and think chatting by phone a couple of times is a must. From there, I am open based on the chemistry of the connection we make over the phone. Options are coffee, an adult beverage or dinner, but you may want to knoI w I am not into chain restaurants. :-)
