Woman. 48 years old. Zodiac sign: Sagittarius.
Looking for: man. In age: 45-55
I am the proud mom of two successful children who are in their mid-twenties, have finished college and Grad school, are financially stable, and live on their own. My daughter recently got married (July 14, ***, and my son has been with his gf for almost 4 years now. Family, immediate and extended, is very important to me. I am a 26-year veteran special education teacher. I teach children with emotional, psychological, and social disabilities. I consider myself fortunate to LOVE my "kids" at school, to LOVE my job, and to work with people who are my BEST friends! I not only teach during the regular school year, but I also teach six weeks out of the summer (It keeps me off the streets! LOL). In seven years, I plan on retiring from teaching. After that, I'd love to work with older people (lots of wisdom to soak up there) or with animals (lots of unconditional love).I am quick witted, and I like to joke around A LOT. So, if you can't handle a little teasing, please save yourself the time and the aggravation of putting up with me. Also, if you state in your profile that you don't take life too seriously, please be sure you know what that means. I just have to say that I'm an independent woman, partly due to need and partly due to personality! I rely on myself for almost everything, and, when I can't do it myself, it ticks me off to no end! LOL!!!! I lack skills in major automotive needs, carpentry, and plumbing (I'm getting better with this skill, though. I recently replaced the refill valve and the flexible line to the refill valve on my toilet... on the first try... with no leaks! Not a cure for cancer or an end to world hunger, but it's still an accomplishment. LOL). All of those skills are needed on a daily basis here at the "money pit". It's not easy for me to ask for help (MAJOR UNDERSTATEMENT), but I'm working on it! Also, since I am an independent "kinda" girl, I promise I won't be your "mom". I figure if you're on this site, and are an adult, then you don't need me to be your mom. And, conversely, I figure that you know that I had a dad (one of the greatest men I ever had the pleasure of knowing, btw), so I don't need another one. In other words, I won't tell you what to do and how to do it, and I am sure that you will treat me with the same respect. I'm also not a Cling-On (not to be confused with a Klingon from Star Trek... although, I'm not one of those, either), nor do I wish to be a conjoined twin. I will let you wear your big boy pants and play with your friends without me there, and I would hope that you would allow me to do so with my friends. By no means does that mean that I am not invested in a relationship. In fact, quite the opposite is true. If you're an adult, then you deserve to be treated as such. If you mess that up, you will have to deal with the consequences. If you feel the need to cheat or to lie, then I know you'll understand my need to say, "Vaya con Dios!" TOUGH LOVE HURTS, but I'm a firm believer that, by the age of 40, you should be able to be honest with yourself and others in what you are looking for in life. I don't understand the thrill people get from cheating or lying. If you must cheat, try doing it while playing Poker or a board game like Monopoly. As for what I'm looking for... I base things on personality and compatibility more than on looks or bank account/material possessions. I do look for wit and humor to be a large part of a man's personality, as well as someone who treats others with respect, kindness, and compassion. I love a guy that smiles... a genuine smile. Good heavens, if I can smile all the time, despite the freakin' huge dimples it creates on my face, then I think a guy can muster up a genuine one, too! Family must be important to him (or, at least, being part of a family or the idea of being part of a family), as well. I am not looking for casual encounters, and I really prefer not to be called "Doll", "Honey", etc., the first time a man contacts me. It feels a little cheap to me. Sorry, it's just how I feel. I prefer non-smokers, please.Apparently, some men feel that this profile is too direct and/or too long. If that is the case, I wish you well on your continued journey in search of that perfect catch! P.S. A cat "adopted" me last year ***. Trust me, even though I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE animals, I wasn't looking to be a "mom" again; however, Kaleb the Cat has moved right in, as if he has always lived here. No one has claimed him (It's been over a year now.), so, I guess, I belong to him. So, if you don't like cats, move on, please. Kaleb doesn't act as if he's moving out anytime soon!****PRIVACY NOTICE**** :Warning--any person and/or *** this website or any of its associated websites, you do NOT have my permission to utilize any of my profile information nor any of the content contained herein including but not limited to my photos.

Hey guys, I am a follower of Jesus Christ and put him first always. I am trusting God to lead me to his very best for me. If that might be you, please feel free to contact me and tell me about yourself. I am very active in Church, and also love sports, watching or participating. I have been very blessed with a wonderful family and great friends. I love life and am truly thankful for what God has given me. I have been out of the dating scene for awhile because I wasn't ready to commit to a relationship. I am at a very good place in my life right now and feel that the time has come to start meeting that special someone. That's all for now. My first date would be in a very comfortable setting, like starbucks for coffee or just taking a walk on the pier. I wouldn't even mind going to a redwings game or a hockey game, both sports in which I enjoy watching.

Woman. 50 years old. Zodiac sign: Aquarius.
Looking for: man. In age: 47-57
I'm baaaaack! Ecuador was nice but believe me, it is GREAT to be home!! I am a SWF looking for someone special to spend special times with. I tend to be on the adventurous side (see photos) and love the outdoors. Some of my hobbies include rock climbing, road biking, mountain biking and motorcycle riding. I camp, hike, backpack and have all the gear and bikes. Even though I love the outdoors and feel comfortable in no make-up and a baseball cap, I can also clean up pretty well for a nice night out on the town.-bodied wines. I am well traveled in the US and also abroad. My glass is always FULL! None of that half-full / half- empty stuff!! If you're going to be a bear, might as well be a grizzly!! : )It's amazing to me how many men say they are "looking for someone to date" but then never actually ask to ever meet and talk in person! What's up with that?PLEASE READ: If you don't have a shirt on in your picture (unless you are at the beach or dancing in the rain) I will NOT ***! Come on! I can't even begin to tell you how disturbing this is!! I REALLY am 5' 11", and even taller with heels! (gotta love that higher math!) so if you are inclined to embellish your height, and we ever do chance to meet, I WILL know it!! : ***more thing: if all you say is "hi" you will be deleted. You can do better than that! Please use the brain cells that God gave you!!AND one more thing: if all you have picture-wise is pics of you in the bathroom taking pictures of yourself - the ONLY thing that this says is "I don't get out much to play"!!IF YOU ARE IN YOUR 20's or 30's I WILL DELETE YOUR ***!! DON'T WASTE OUR TIME PLEASE!Are you still with me?? Good!! If you are interested, then send me a line. : ) Preferably somewhere where both of us can feel comfortable. Somewhere we can talk and not yell at each other over loud music.
