??I seem to back at the drawing board again, darn. Can't wait to stop logging in here. Great. If not, then we're likely a miss.Do you have a career you enjoy, or are you at least comfortably employed?....check.Do you like to exercise and take good care of youself as I do?...checkHonesty, loyalty, trustworthiness, reliability and integrity are extremely important to me. Are they to you?...anohter check (this is lookin' good!)Playful, funloving and romantic....fantastic!The dating wizzards here at meetville suggest we put in the types of music we like. That's far too long to list.- You make lovin' fun!Important note. Posting photos is a must. Seriously, have you ever had a pleasant surprise on a blind-date? If you do not have photos posted, or do not attached them to a message, please do not expect a response. My photos accurately represent the way I look... hope the same is true for you;-)As I am online quite a bit for my profession, I am not into corresponding for weeks over meetville ***, nor spending weeks texting. If there's some mutual connection, let's chat on the phone and then meet for a quick coffee or a drink. If there's a spark, great, if not, let's be honest, move on and wish eachother well. All the best and let's hope we both find what we're looking for here. Cheers! Safety in numbers? How about a walk along the lakefront with me and my Portugues Water Dog, Jib? If not, maybe couples yoga? Half kidding of course. Theater or Opera followed by a glass of wine could be nice. Got any other ideas?

Yep, I still believe in the fairy tale ending, but this is just the beginning.I'm trying to get this third attempt at a profile just right. First version attracted guys who wanted a relationship, but weren't willing to take their time to find the right woman. Second version attracted guys who only wanted sex. I'm hoping the third time is the charm. This time, I'm skipping subtlety and going straight to the point. I've kissed a few frogs, and although it was educational, I'd prefer to avoid the fly-breath if at all possible.Here goes...I am looking for a long term committed relationship. Ideally, that would be marriage.I am not interested in an ***, or in any person who needs to have exclusivity before we even get past the first few dates. We both have family, friends, careers, assets, and social obligations. Regardless of how strong the attraction is, and how compatible our interests and relationship needs are, it takes time to evaluate whether or not all those various components will mesh. I don't feel you can decide that by reading a profile or having a couple of dinners together. I will admit that I sound archaic here, but we used to call the exploratory phase "dating". Apparently, that term is now a euphemism for casual sex. Just to be clear, I am not interested in that, either. In fact, the chance of you getting in my pants before we are in an exclusive relationship with substantial long term potential is zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Ain't gonna happen, bro.I'm not judging. I've been there, done that, and what I find is that as soon as sex is involved, I lose my objectivity. I have skin in the game, literally, and its hard to walk away from a steady supply of sex or love, or any reasonable facsimile thereof. I plan to relocate, but I am reluctant to sell my house. I bought it after my husband died, and it has become a symbol to me that I can make it on my own even when it feels scary as hell.My daughter and I laid ceramic tile through the whole house right after I bought it. I have patched and painted drywall, refinished the kitchen cupboards, and have dedicated entire afternoons to researching the relative merits of Home Depot -vs- Menards. Last summer, my sister and I replaced the aluminum soffit and fascia with a borrowed nail gun and some expert advice.And yeah, I know, I could pay people to do those kinds of things, but I feel like this house has been my proving ground. And, yeah, I also know that is completely irrational, but that doesn't mean it's not true. I love being outside. I like to hike, camp, kayak, ride horseback, ride bike, and even enjoy shoveling snow, dragging brush, and stacking firewood. Anything to be outside. In case you haven't figured it out, I am a very physical person. I am a Chief Financial Officer, so I sit behind a desk or at a conference table all day, but that is what I do to pay the bills. It's not who I am. In a relationship, I need lots of physical contact. I don't like over the top public displays, but at home, I need to be able to sit beside you on the couch, touch you, wrestle, dance in the living room, play tag, hug, indulge in long bouts of passionate kissing, and initiate sex without feeling inhibited.Lastly, I am pretty traditional when it comes to the male/female roles. If you vacuum or wash dishes, I'll appreciate it, but in general, I will view the cooking, cleaning, and laundry as my job. Likewise, I'll expect you to either fix the sink or call the plumber, trap the occasional mouse, and tackle all of the burglars. I know that is not politically correct, but that simple division of labor works well for me. The last thing I want to do when I get home from work is to worry about whose turn it is to make dinner or take the car in for an oil change. If you have managed to read my entire profile without being tempted to send me a reference for a class on modern behavior in human beings, we might be a match. I'd love to hear from you.Samie You choose. I am interested in what you would decide.
