About Me

I'm a very busy entrepreneur in the middle of building business around the world. I would like to find someone to share personal time with that could lead to something more. I'm not in a hurry to find this person now, but I would make the time to make him a priority. I would like to have someone to share time with sooner rather than later.The things most important to me and about which I'm most passionate include animals - particularly dogs - and being outside in nature. I am a foster mom for a local dog rescue group so have several dogs around the house most of the time. Being supportive of other women who have difficulty seeing their attributes and children needing greater love and support with not-so-good home environments is also very important to me. I have developed several businesses that help the small and mid-sized business executive, so professionally, that keeps me passionate about what I do when I'm not outside with my dogs. I enjoy golf, participating in triathlons and generally being outside when the weather is nice (or skiing, sitting in a hot tub or in front of a fire with a good glass of wine when it's cold/snowy outside). I love, love, love blues music so enjoy places where I can listen to some good blues or jazz music without being overwhelmed by a smokey environment. I love to travel and experience different cultures, landscapes and foods and have many places I'd love to visit and to revisit. I also love to cook, so if you don't love food, music, dogs & the outdoors, we're not a good match. Or are these interests about as universally accepted as breathing?! I'm looking for a professional man who is confident (but not arrogant or bullyish), is committed to his role as a man with a woman, and who is also kind, generous and loving. He must LOVE dogs and he must be comfortable with my role as a professional woman and business owner who loves to come home and just be a woman. I want a man who understands that being a gentleman is who he is, not just what he does - it's how he thinks and not just a series of acts. I am a modern business woman who may not be home until late or may be traveling, but will always have his favorite drink stocked and he will always be well fed. He must be able to accept this. For those of you golf guys out there, I enjoy playing myself, but not with one of those crazy guys who throws his golf clubs or gets irritated because you just hit one in the woods and now we have to go find it. I'm a double-bogey golfer on average and I describe my game as having moments of brilliance steeped in pathetic mediocrity. I've had my fair share of birdies and pars ***but I have usually one of those dreaded "snowman" scores each 9 to balance those out :-(. So, someone who doesn't mind when I out-drive him or hit it into the woods and will help me look for it :-) would be great. Otherwise, I'll be out running, swimming, biking or hiking with one or more of my dogs in the spring, summer & fall mixed in with an outdoor event or two here and there.Boating is also a love of mine. Being on or near the water with a view of the water is like heaven on earth to me. Put some blues music, some good food &I'm far from perfect and certainly don't expect the "perfect guy" either, but I do expect mutual respect and some room for each other to be imperfect. I have no interest in anyone who wants to put me in their box of judgments or expectations of who someone "should be". Life is way too short to be with negative people, energy suckers, judges and hypercritical people. If you are over the age of 42 or 43 and you've never been married (nor been in a 5+ year relationship with some of it officially living together), you're probably not my type. I just want to be with someone who can accept me with my "less than perfect" traits and my professional life, who appreciates me and with whom we can just enjoy each other the majority of the time. I am more than willing to be the same non-judgmental and loving partner.I believe in a balanced but robust approach to life of work hard and play hard filled with intellectual challenge, appreciation of nature and art, laughter and a lot of love and fun with people with whom I connect.A few quotes that reflect who I am. . . Jack Kerouac quotes“the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn. . . ."“I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.”;Never love anybody who treats you like you're ordinary."**I usually respond to everyone except those who just say "Hi" or the like which is just a waste of time to me because there's nothing really to respond to. Whatever floats our boat for the night. Could be just drinks; could be drinks & dinner; could be going to see some music or an art event. Whatever is going on that looks interesting with an opportunity to part ways or continue on.

    I am a person who will try anything once, if I don't like it I won't do it again. I enjoy sports and sad football season is over, so the long wait begins. I like all kinds of music, but counrty is my favorite. I like to just make decisions and go with it, and travel for the weekend. I enjoy quiet nights in, cooking with each other and drinking a nice glass of wine would be nice. If your profile or your desire says you just want nothing serious, not looking for relationship etc. Please pass up my profile, I am only looking for something that could become a relationship, and hopefully marriage. I am open to any ideas, I do like just sitting and talking and getting to know someone so the first meeting just having a drink and seeing if there is a spark would be great. Other than that, I would like to try anything.

Of course, we will see how it goes!I am not looking for games so please be serious minded if you contact me.I am a professional in the beauty industry and I love my career! I am also a Mom and that is the best job of all!You must love children and my dog, lol! I love kids so am open to accepting a single Dad type of situation.I love the beach, I like to travel, I like to have fun and laugh a lot.I am outdoorsy, adventurous, and very active.I do not date smokers just to be honest. So no smokers please!I hope to hear from you soon if you like what you read.Until we meet, good luck out here! My first dream date would consist of coffee or a nice dinner somewhere. Talking and getting to know one another a little better. I really want to take things slow as we get to know each others interests and if we have a connection. Again, I am not looking for games.

    I'm a bright, funny, and warm person. My friends say I'm a good listener and many of them trust me with their problems and confidences. I'm also very interested in the world and what happens in it, politically, socially, spiritually. I love to learn new things and meet people from different backgrounds. This carries over into my dining choices -- love trying new cuisines although I always ask for very mild on the heat scale. My hopes/plans for the future include finding my next vocation (where my deep joy and the world's deep needs intersect), traveling to Europe and maybe Africa and the Middle East,and continuing to find ways to express my creativity.The man I'd like to meet would be past the stage of needing to prove himself to the world or himself, but still have a passion for life and his partner and serving others. He may be athletic or not, but will have a keen interest in the life of the mind and the spirit as well as physical health. He will be physically and verbally affectionate, as I am, and have a kind and generous personality. After e-mailing or messaging for a few days, we've spoken on the phone. We laughed together a lot and want to meet in person, so we schedule dinner or drinks someplace pretty casual, or someplace with fun stuff to do. Like, a walk on the canal, or at the IMA, or a bookstore. When we've both arrived, we hug briefly, then sit, our eyes meeting. The server comes by WAY too early and asks if we need more time. Um, YES. We make the server go away one more time before choosing from the menu. As we eat, we find more things we have in common. Maybe your dad was a gearhead like mine (did he run through the house snatching blankets off the beds to protect his cars when it hailed?). Or maybe your first girlfriend had Farrah hair like I did in 7th grade). After dinner (I'll expect to pay for mine, but if you insist I'll probably give in)we'll walk together or check out an exhibit or head for the bookstore and share some of our favorite sections/authors together. When it's time to go home,you walk me to my car. We can both sense the warmth and energy of our connection beginning. As you say goodnight you lean down and kiss me to check out our physical connection. We both go home grinning and thinking about our next date.That's just one way things could go...what are YOUR first date ideas?
