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. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Sagittarius.

    Looking for: man. In age: 50-60

    So..where to begin.....I am a very laid back person who likes to spend as much time outdoors as possible. At the top of my list is boating and waterskiing, wake boarding and just relaxing on the water. I have a somewhat sarcastic humor so I would like to meet someone who can be themselves and make me laugh, not looking for a class clown. I would like to meet someone who can hold a conversation without me having to pull teeth. I have a pretty stressful job in the medical field so I try to get out of the house and play as much as possible even when my house may need to be cleaned. I enjoy traveling as long as there is water, a boat or both involved, prefer lakes over oceans, cuz I want to be on the water not looking at it! I have raised twin boys to the age of 21 by myself so I would have to say I'm pretty independent. I would have to say I am a fiercely loyal, caring and compassionate person who will try to help anyone when I can. I like to cook (although I don't bake, there is a difference), enjoy great seafood and steaks, wish I could indulge more in ice cream! I am looking for someone who has a great sense of humor, enjoys boating, has older children and who enjoys life and likes to have fun! Please only respond if you have a photo, sorry but some people aren't very truthful. Also, sorry but if religion is a big part of your life we wouldn't be a good match, I believe in living by the golden rule. My philosophy is live life to the fullest, make each day count and laugh a lot! Looking for a friend, companion, dinner date and possibly more with the man. Have a great day and good luck fishing! Not big into coffee so someplace quiet where we can actually talk and maybe have a****ail! Preferably outdoors. : )

    A renaissance woman, comfortable at Sharks game and executuve dinner party. Likes golf, painting, skiing, sun activities, wine, travel, entertaining, dinners out and at home, and of course a bit of shopping...hey I am female. I have two sons ages 16 and ***% of the time). I realize after reading many profiles, that many men in my age range, have grown children and that this may be a reason to exclude me from your "favorites" list. However, I am seriously looking for someone to share my empty nest years with, and that is just a few short years away. So let's take the time to get to know each other, have some fun and see where life takes us.I'm looking for upstanding man in the treatment of his family, friends, and dates... with a fun disposition and sense of adventure. I'm game to try new things if you are. I love to laugh and enjoy a man with a quick wit, who is not afraid to poke fun at himself, and sees the positive in life. I am attracted to intelligent men, who are confident, outgoing, dedicated and hard working...but can turn off the phone and computer for an hour during dinner...you would be suprised how many people, both men and women, can not do that....if you can't, I understand, I'm just not interested in competing with *** texting during our romantic dinner. Finally, i believe that if the woman is happy, the man will be happy. Why, because it is in the female DNA to nuture the ones we love, when we feel appreciated and adored. So if you treat me right, I will respond ***fold and love it, and so will you, I promise. I wouldn't recommend that but an after work drink, Sunday stroll, or casual meeting would be great.

    Hello, I' m looking for that special someone who is open to meeting a cancer survivor with an apparent scarring from surgery. This is a lot to ask of someone anyone so I am being forward about it so there are no surprises or bs. Having survived cancer has given me a different outlook on life that's for sure. I like meeting new people who are not judgemental. I have hobbies such as camping and fishing going to movies and of course shopping lol. As for goals I think I made the biggest one and I'm above dirt so what more could I ask for....... My idea of a first date would be to meet somewhere for coffee or maybe a drink spend a bit of time together to see if there is an attraction, I don 't want to waste anyone's time that's for sure. If we find we would like to see each other again then we could make plans for a second meeting if we're both interested.
