Libra · Looking for: Man, 41–51
I've been divorced for nearly 2 years. Wounds have been licked and I'm ready to get into the dating scene again-I guess I am a glutton for punishment. Plenty of fish says I should talk about hobbies/goals/my uniqueness and taste in music...here goes:Hobbies: gardening, walking for fun and fitness, fishing, dancing, travel, camping, reading, card and board games. I am fairly competitive but can take a loss with minimal tears and tantrums.Goals: personal goals are finding a partner to share my life and interests with. I have 2 beautiful grown children who have been my primary focus, but now that they are grown I am excited to focus time and energy on myself. Currently I'm in the process of buying my first home as a single person and am looking forward to remodelling and decorating it. I think men who know how to use a hammer are SEXY! Though it's not a deal breaker to just hire an expert-recognizing and accepting strengths and weaknesses is attractive in and of itself :) Professional goals involve possibly returning to school to finish my master's degree within the next 5 years. What makes me unique...hmmm, with 6,000,000,000ish people on Earth, I don't know that anyone is really THAT unique. However, some qualities I have that make me who I am are an ability to be nearly always happy. I am genetically geared towards a positive outlook, and it's not something I have to work on. I have a permanent smile and a slightly twisted sense of humor. I consider myself to be above average in intelligence (doesn't everyone?), and enjoy conversations with funny, intelligent people. I know, I TOLD you it's difficult to be truly unique! Although my family is very conservative and somewhat religious, I am not. Through painful trial and error I have learned that I need a partner who not only "tolerates," but shares my liberal views.Music tastes: I gravitate towards Indie and alternative rock. Although I can usually find songs within every genre to enjoy, I really don't care for gangster rap and country music. The first is too hateful and the second is too whiney and depressing for my tastes. Guilty TV pleasure: toss up between Americas Next Top Model and So You Think You Can Dance (you would think I'm 15yrs old). Uh, I'm not...pedophiles need not apply. An ideal first date would be somewhere intimate with a good****ail where we could discuss our interests and hopefully find common ground. Best case scenario would be lots of laughing, though not to the milk coming out your nose extent, because that is almost never sexy. I think the mark of a good first date is losing track of the time. If you find yourself checking your watch every few minutes it's probably time to cut your losses and agree to "just be friends"...both knowing we will never be friends. :)Another fun first date would be deep sea fishing... because if you are still attracted to someone who smells like bait you are on the right track. Or maybe a wine tasting tour. I am completely ignorant about wines and would appreciate some guidance on the subject. Plus the smell of the aging barrels is much better than fish bait.
