About Me

I am a woman, a mother, and successful career professional who is in love with life, the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the beauty of nature. I maxed out my retirement at my job with 34 years of creditable service and I retired as of July 1, ***. While I do think I can adjust to this new lifestyle, I expect it to be temporary and do intend to return to work until my youngest son is through college. For now I'm decompressing, having some fun, doing some house projects (yes, I'm quite handy for a lady) and eventually I'll seek employment again. I'm not a lady who sits idle, so for me busy is good and my guy needs to be able to keep up the pace.I thrive on soaking up the sun, love digging in the dirt to see what flowers I can grow or landscaping project I can undertake. I enjoy live music, sports, almost anything that takes me outside, arts, traveling, family time, fine dining, casual entertaining, the beach and the mountains. The beach recharges me and time at my mountain house provides down time, fresh air and is always a nice weekend get away. In ***I was introduced to the fun of couples dancing and came to enjoy East & West Coast Swing, and a few other dances. If you enjoy couples dancing, you get bonus points and if you love swing, then double points for you, as I really do want to dance regularly again.Having lost loved ones, I know how fragile life can be. I value life, family, honesty, health. I try to be positive, make the most of each moment, eat healthy, exercise and work hard at everything I do. I made the switch to a vegetarian diet June ***. I value both organic and vegan diets, but am far from those diets at this point. I have no expectations of a vegetarian partner, but I do want a partner who will encourage me to exercise as I continue my journey to a healthier lifestyle. I work hard to remain at my ideal weight, am far from perfect and don't seek perfection, but I'm not attracted to men who are over weight. Therefore, I seek a slim, toned or athletic individual, not someone significantly over weight.I am emotionally and financially stable, so I don't "need" but do "want" a relationship. The quality man I seek should be of similar age, and understand that with a 17 year old son, I am first a mom. While dating, I hope to meet someone with whom I can eventually build a trusting relationship with a view toward an eventual long term exclusive relationship. That having been said, I seek a man who is happy, makes me laugh, values nutrition, health, shares values, pleasures, respects me and is a true gentleman. I want my partner to know how to dress when we go out, to know and use manners, open doors for me and his reassuring arm on me should give me that, "I am his his lady" feeling. Don't be mistaken, he should have enough bad boy in him to cause me to smile and shake my head in amazement at times. A beginning with physical attraction, common interests, friendship, laughter, respect and trust should be a great foundation for a solid friendship and potential relationship. My children include a married daughter, a son age 21 and a son age 17, who have always been the center of my world. My daughter graduated college, works and gave our family a beautiful child Nov ***. My oldest son is a Senior at UGA this fall (Go Dawgs!) and my youngest son is a Junior in high school. As I reflect, their childhood days have passed at lightening speed. I'm enjoying the last couple of years with a son still home, yet beginning to consider and embrace the many transitions ahead, this new phase of life....retirement, returning to the work force for a second but brief career, and the youngest son eventually leaving the nest.I am a woman with many skills,enjoy order, a well maintained yard and home. I'm comfortable in jeans/shorts and a "T", but also have an assortment of little black dresses, heels and jewelry to dress up and join you on the town. I love concerts, dancing, live music, or a quiet evening at home with my man sharing a beer by the pool or a bottle of wine as we make dinner. I want to meet my new best friend, and eventual long term partner. We are not all going to have that essential chemistry or be partners, but I will try to respond to those who contact me, for everyone deserves words and acknowledgement.I never planned to grow old alone and I still don't; However, I won't settle, so this search seems to be long and ongoing. Thanks for reading my profile. God's speed on your journey and may good health and happiness be abundant in your life as we each search for that one person who may become our life partner. "It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best you very often get it". ~W. A coffee shop in the morning, a restaurant for lunch, an appetizer, a beer, a glass of wine, dinner, a frozen yogurt or a walk in the park. Anything goes as long as it affords both the opportunity to determine if we each wish to spend additional time together. Following us meeting, if we wish to see one another again, a first date could be anything we mutually decide. Surprise me and make a suggestion!

    Woman. 51 years old. Zodiac sign: Capricorn.

    Looking for: man. In age: 48-58

    If you are looking to hang out or to be friends with benefits then please dont contact me. I want a real relationship nothing less. I am a professional female. I have a demanding career and work long hours typically 3 days a week. I dont like to be idle. I enjoy the job I do and the people I work with. Ive been alone for more then 12 years now. I have raised my children and love them dearly. Ive lived in several states and would like to stay in one place with someone that I dont want to be without. Now its time for what I want and need. Im an honest and open person, so ask if you've any questions.Im family oriented and very much think of my home as my sanctuary. I like it clean, neat and homey. I think coming into a home and smelling hot bread baking, the smell of a fresh baked ham or roast beef is a good day. Love a nice dinner, a walk in the evening or curling up together on a cold night to watch a movie. I miss sharing the day talking when snuggled close together in bed at night. I do believe in love at first site but also know it takes time honestly getting know each other. I think when 2 people honestly connect, it doesnt matter what they do as long as they do it together. I think a real relationship takes time and cant be formed in one date. You have to talk, spend time together and know that you can live with each others skeletons in the closet. Im looking for the passion of romance, the long kisses and being in a monogamous relationship. There is no such thing as perfect. Our quirks makes us unique and individual. Laughing is the best medicine in life and I love laughing. We have to be able to laugh at ourselves and all the funny things around us. I always look for the positive and want to see the good in everything and everybody. I take care of myself and take pride in my appearance. My pictures are recent.. If yours arent or there is a major change in them, then its only fair to post recent ones. PLEASE HAVE A PICTURE, its just not fair for me to respond to you if you dont. Sorry its a dis advantage! I think keeping it simple is good. Coffee, a drink and a chance to talk and get to know each other is good. If it doesnt work out then saying Im sorry and good luck is ok.

    Woman. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Gemini.

    Looking for: man. In age: 50-60

    I am proud to say that I am a 50 plus year-old woman, who can still kick up her heels to a good rhythm, find hope for the world and herself, and stretch her body and mind on a good mantra. My passions include social advocacy, history, dancing, and yoga. Rhythms that I enjoy listening to or have danced to are the following: folk, jazz, latin, square, polka, waltz,Bollywood, Belly Dancing and Spiritual.. (I especially like Cece Winas) Laughter is among my life mantras as a Laugh Yoga Leader, and the uniting of mind, body and spirit is my goal as a Yoga teacher and human being. Consequently, if you are looking for a spiritual journey with a diverse woman, you are reading the correct profile. Namaste! I believe a good first date would be in a public place where two people could talk and get to know each other better, such as in a restaurant. I prefer to eat where I know I can order healthy-light foods.
