About Me

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ MY PROFILE WORDS. PICTURES CANNOT GIVE YOU THE 'WHOLE' ESSENCE OF WHO I AM. I KNOW IT'S LENGTHY, BUT WORTH THE READ AND I DON'T WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME OR MINE. I'M VERY UP FRONT AND HONEST. SO, ANY QUESTIONS, JUST ASK.I'm the 'girl-next-door' type, with an adventurous nature. However, if I had to describe myself with one word...I'd have to say 'Eclectic'. Because I definitely think outside the box and am an 'acquired' taste. lol I've done quite a few interesting things in my life and don't regret any of them. There's a quote I found which says pretty much how I feel about life. "Life is not a journey with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming "Wow! What a ride!" So, yes, I do have a few 'character' lines at my age, and I earned every one of them! lolUpdate: What am I looking for? Affection, warmth, holding hands, hugs, kisses, intellectual conversations, passion, have adventures, compatibility. I don't want to be married, but I do want a love/partner to grow older with. It's so much more fun with someone! lol I used to work for the County Government...8yrs as a police dispatcher, and 20 yrs as the Manager of the Admin Dept at a crisis center. I've retired from work, but not from Life! I want to go, do, see things, but still have some 'quiet' times with AND without my partner. Also, I can compromise on a lot of things, but not on compatibility. I need to feel a sense of ease/be comfortable with my 'date'. That is foremost. Unfortunately, you can't 'feel' that by looking at someone's picture or reading their 'words'. So, I like to meet in person sooner, rather than later. Only then will you know if that 'feeling' is there...by knowing that you are relaxed, feel your 'walls' coming down, and just enjoy talking and being with that person. However, sometimes, it takes more than once, to know the 'inside' of someone, to know if there is any 'physical chemistry' there as well. The first is more important to me. If that's there, then the 2nd will hopefully come, if its meant to be. Too many times, people meet for the first time and may not feel the 'sparks' they were anticipating. So they immediately 'write off' that person. Sometimes you have to see them again to really know for sure. Isn't it worth the 'extra look' ?? I am looking for a boyfriend/partner/lover for a long term, monogamous relationship. I'm a one-man woman and want a one-woman man. I do my best to maintain a healthy diet and stay active, but I'm a constant 'work in progress', lol No one is perfect and I don't look for that. We all have 'little things' we'd like to 'fix', but as long as we do our best to try to say healthy & active, that's all that really counts. I would like my partner to feel the same way. I joined a gym and work out at least 3 times a wk. NOT that i will stop going, but I am hoping that by the end of ***, I will be in even better shape, feeling good about myself, and totally awesome! LOL If I say I will accomplish a 'goal' (& this is one of them!) I WILL!! :) ****So, plz don't 'write me off' just because I may happen to have 10 or 15 lbs to lose, because it will be gone soon, and... I am just SOOOO Awesome inside and out, with or without them! LOLAlso, I saw this following quote on a gentleman's profile and so agreed with it that I wanted to share it. "Here's how I see it: our youthful physique is on the wane (hell, for must of us, it's already waned) and the elements of beauty have ceased to be based on physical qualities. During this Winter of our lives and as we seek our last love, shouldn't we base our search upon less superficial qualities?" ...Well said, don't you think? I have a passion for life and am a positive person who loves to smile and laugh (especially at myself). I'm trustworthy, spontaneous, unpredictable, attractive, intelligent & clever, love freedom, too sensitive & easily hurt, romantic on the inside(would you dance w/me in the rain? Kiss me during a tropical storm?lol), love reality and abstract, a bit rebellious when restricted, and a genuine happy spirit. Because I was a single parent and then the manager of a dept in a crisis center, I am used to being 'in charge/control' of things. Some men would feel threatened by that. Let me say right here, that I would LOVE to share that responsibility now!! I HAD to be that way because of the road my life went. If you are a strong, independent, confident man who is also kind and patient, then you can help me to sit back more now and let someone (you?) share that attribute with me. Like I said, I think maybe I'm an 'acquired taste'...you have to get used to me! THEN you'll either dislike me or love me! lolI'm 100% committed to those I care about and who care about me.I love my jeans, but 'dress up' nice. I have many 'interests' ...check them out on my profile. Most people think I'm in my 50s, because I think, act, and look younger, but I'll let you be the judge, because sometimes I wonder about that when I look too close in the mirror!! lol It would be nice if you liked good old fashion romancing...like holding hands, snuggling, hugs, long, slow kisses, PDAs. I look at a guy's eyes and smile first. They tell me a lot!*GENTLEMEN, PLEASE, if a lady has taken the time and gotten up the nerve to send you a message of interest, be considerate enough to send a response, even if your not interested! I'm sure a lot of you would want us to do the same thing. I think we are all on here looking for the same thing. Besides, it's just common courtesy. Your mom didn't raise you to be rude, I'm sure. So make her proud! lol Thanks!Depends on what you mean by first date! If you mean, First Meeting, then anywhere public is good, for a soda, drink, meal, whatever. However, would prefer maybe just having a cup of tea/coffee/wine on the beach watching the sun come up or going down. Or maybe a picnic, going to a park, walking the OC boardwalk, or just meeting in a quiet place. Since its not a DATE, then going DUTCH is fine by me.First REAL DATE could be anywhere and doing anything we are both happy with. We can decide together. **If you are looking for sex on the first date, move on to the next profile. Relationships are special to me. I am NOT into casual sex and I hope my date will think the same. ****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.

    Woman. 33 years old. Zodiac sign: Virgo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 23-43

    If my friends were describing me, I'm pretty sure they'd tell you I'm ridiculous, funny, intensely loyal and tattooed. A lot of people don't know I have the tattoos since they're all usually hidden. I love country music and have a recent Netflix addiction for tv shows which sadly all seem to be cancelled. I'm a good cook and I'm always looking for new recipes and new people to cook for.I go to concerts as much as possible, partly because I really enjoy live music and partly because I love the idea of thousands of people who are all excited about the same thing. I'm unique because I know what I want, but I'm still open minded about the paths to get there.If you send me a message that just says 'hey,' I'm not going to answer you. I do understand that dating can be a 'law of averages' type of process where you have to *** volume of people to get a reply. I also sincerely appreciate you taking the time to say 'hey,' but it's so impersonal. Online dating is cold enough already without having a conversation consisting solely of 'hey'...'hey'...'sup'... So, if you *** more than a 1 word greeting, I promise to write you back.

    I love trying different ethnic foods but would like some company to enjoy those meals with. Greek/Thai are my favorites. Would way rather be outdoors than indoors. Enjoy walking, bicycling, being on the water, and tending to my indoor/outdoor plants. I was introduced to yoga years ago and enjoy that form of relaxation and exercising.Love a few "older television shows"...like "The Middle, Modern Family, Seinfield".Grew up in Ottawa and ventured out this way over thirty five years ago and have never looked back. Favorite music for me is Blues, Rock N Roll. Some artists I never seem to get tired of are The Rolling Stones, Sade...Anyone ever heard of Rita Chiarelli?I love to smile and laugh and I have a good sense of humor and I hope that you do as well. I am affectionate, a good listener, a true friend and have just recently been told that I am ..."sassy"! I like that one!I'm flexible..meet in a coffee shop, lounge or a walk along the beach

    Woman. 57 years old. Zodiac sign: Scorpio.

    Looking for: man. In age: 47-67

    I'm not big on talking about myself, but I'll give it my best shot. I have been divorced 7 years. I have a nice house on a lake. I hope to meet an honest man to become friends with first, and then see where that takes us. I work a full 40 hours every week and am not looking for a man to support me. I enjoy bowling, fishing and dining out. I'm just as happy staying in, cooking dinner and renting a movie as I am going out. I would say that I'm more of a homebody and I enjoy doing yard work and small projects around my house. My friends say I'm your typical quiet girl next door. I'm honest, considerate and sincere and want to be treated as I treat others. As far as personal taste, I'd prefer a man with large arms who's not afraid to hold me.…I would also appreciate an animal lover, and so would my pets. However, my main concern is drinking habits and honesty, any big drinkers, party guys, liars or cheaters shouldn't waste their time getting in touch with me, as that is not what I am interested in. I hope that's enough to give you a clue of what I'm about. Have any question please just ask. Thank you for reading my profile and good luck with your searching. We are all looking for the one we are supposed to be with.
