About Me

Hello there! Okay, here's a little bit about myself...I am a Guidance Counselor in a public K-8 school. I love my job and wouldn't want to do anything else. To make this easier, I asked some friends to describe me and here are the results: fun-loving, sweet, adventurous, motivated, family oriented, considerate of other's feelings, and energetic. I am quick-to-smile and somewhat inquisitive! I enjoy all sorts of activities and will pretty much try anything once - I’ve gone sky diving, cliff diving and accomplished the knee-hang catch on a flying trapeze! I enjoy fine dining, traveling to tropical islands, rollerblading, roller coasters, hiking, some snow skiing, pistol shooting, obstacle/adventure running/races (i.e.: Tough Mudder 2x), and CrossFit for exercise! I am the type that loves getting dressed up and going to a nice restaurant one night and maybe camping out by a fire the next; I can suit the occasion and enjoy doing so. I spent a great deal of time in college and working hard. I own my own home and am financially independent. Ive had several (very) long term relationships (8 years, 7 years, and 6 years each) and although none of them developed into a life-long future, I feel that I am a better person because of them.I have fulfilled all of my academic and career goals and hope to meet a man who has done the same...hence, who is ready for a committed relationship. I am looking for someone who I can share myself with - someone who will be my love, as well as my best friend. I am finally ready to meet the man who I am meant to be with. Although I am not looking for a relationship that is only "convenient", I have tried the long-distance thing once or twice and have found it difficult. I do also understand that everyone is on their best behavior during the get-to-know-you stage...which is why I do not tend to jump into things. I will try to be as up-front as possible in this.Having said that, I prefer to meet sooner than later. As much as I appreciate good writing technique, as illustrated in *** &/or text messages, I would much rather meet early on to determine if there is a spark between us - which is absolutely necessary!! ;)

    Woman. 42 years old. Zodiac sign: Aries.

    Looking for: man. In age: 39-49

    Me: Ladylike but can keep up with the boys, friendly yet opinionated, honest yet not rude, outdoorsy (prefers nature over malls), artistic, nurturing, hard-working yet fun-loving, realistic, spiritual, down-to-earth, affectionate. I can spell without using spell-check. I'm as comfortable in my jeans and boots as I am in a little black dress and heels. Love animals. Love music. Love my family. You: Say what you mean and mean what you say, dependable, honest, athletic, mature yet playful, masculine yet has a soft side, strong yet sensitive, witty, good-humored, well-versed, educated, romantic. You love children, respect elderly, and are a gentleman. You love God and are a leader. You have good manners, hold open doors, and bring flowers. You are also comfortable in jeans and boots but can clean up good! You might even be a good dancer, singer, musician?On another note...not to be superficial but I feel there must be some mutual attraction involved. Please post some pictures...some honest pictures from within the past few months. Also, I have school age children and they are my priority. If that isn't your cup of tea OR your children are grown and young ones don't appeal to you right now, I get that. I really, truly do! I never thought I'd be in the online dating world at this point in my life. I'm not into serial dating. In fact, I'm finding out I'm a lil guarded and ultra picky...as we all should be, I suppose. I don't want to waste anyone's time and I don't want you to waste my time. Life is too short and I'm not interested in dating someone that we both know would be no future with. Let's all just be honest about who we are, what we're looking for, etc. Deal? Deal. :)P.S. I'm not *** Sorry if I don't respond but, chances are, I'm not truly sitting in front of my computer. I have a tendency to turn on my laptop and forget about it or get busy with other things. Sorry! WAIT...one more thing! Why do people select others as "favorites" or someone they want to meet but not initiate a coversation or send a message? I don't get that. *I couldn't update this without selecting "my personality in one word"....really?? AND, as if "animal lover" is considered one word!OH, one more thing...I prefer a man to be taller and stronger than me. :) And, well, I'm a little tall and a little strong. Just sayin.WAIT...one more thing!! Ok, just kidding. A first date key ingredient is conversation so anywhere that could be included...meet and greet over coffee? Take it from there.

    Woman. 45 years old. Zodiac sign: Pisces.

    Looking for: man. In age: 42-52

    I'm a happy, down-to-earth woman with a kind, easy-going personality. I’m honest, a patient listener, an enthusiastic talker. I live a fairly active life and have a demanding career, but still enjoy spending time with someone that has similar interests. I love dining out, cooking, taking photos, reading, and relaxing outdoor activities. I enjoy music and catching live bands and spending time at the beach or pool. My musical tastes are all over the place, I love hard rock and metal, and a wide variety of music I grew up with from the 60s, 70s and 80s. The man I’d be happy to spend time with is friendly guy with confidence and character. I think it’s smart to become friends first, and then see if a more meaningful relationship develops over time. It would be great to have someone in my life who is honest and fun to share experiences with. I have a warm heart and an enjoyable life, and it would be fun to share them with a man who is intelligent, caring and a positive thinker. Meeting for coffee or drinks and conversation.
