About Me

Simply put, I want to enjoy life with someone I care about--grow young together. Friends would likely describe me as as having a vibrant personality, articulate with a bright mind, and warm heart. I fall into the normal weight category--with curves in the right places and shapely, slender legs. I have light green eyes and recent photos. I don't care to mislead anyone--wasting their time or mine. I am intellectually curious, an avid reader of more than meetville profiles, and passionate about living life to the fullest! I'm loyal, and I forgive quickly. I bring an open heart. It would be great to find someone who can laugh along with me, as we enjoy all the zaniness that life surprises us with. I have yet to meet my soul mate.My intent in joining meetville was to meet an educated, professional, fifty something year old man that shares a few mutual interests with me, like travel and perhaps boating. I realize this site is a long shot, but I am trying to remain optimistic. I am capable of compromise. I believe two is better than one, two minds, two hearts, and that love is sometimes elusive, but a precious gift. I am a hopeful romantic, not a hopeless one. There is no perfect partner, or perfect relationship; however, I feel an ideal relationship would be two best friends supporting each other’s goals, as they share their envisioned life together. Wouldn't it be great to feel that magic again...If you e mail me please say more than 'Hi. It would be wonderful to find a person with a positive outlook on life, as "life is ten percent what happens to you, and ninety percent how you respond to it." This is according to Lou Holtz. I feel experiences shape our lives, even the painful ones force us to grow--like divorce. I enjoy experiencing different cultures, their art, cuisines and history. Isn't it comfortable when conversation flows naturally and is engaging, as it does between friends? I dislike conflict; life is too short. I feel it's better to focus on getting the most out of the ride. To me laughter is the best medicine, and I would rather compromise than argue any day. Would you agree that sharing love is essential to living fully?Do you like girly-girls? I like being told I'm sexy, so I enjoy being well groomed from head to toe, and looking pretty for my man. That said, I am attracted to well groomed men, which includes clean white teeth--a kissable mouth. You can count on me to take pride in my appearance--from clean teeth to sexy toes. I believe it should be a priority to lead an overall healthy lifestyle, not only to maintain ones looks, but more importantly, good health. Would you like to entertain friends/family, go boating, island hop, take a nature walk, treasure hunt, cuddle-read, cuddle some more, explore/travel, enjoy a concert, a show, a movie, admire artwork, enjoy a wine tasting, a sunset, then gaze at the stars together? Ok, I risk sounding too sappy here. I must admit--I still believe in happily ever after. a good man. My point--life is best when shared. Yes, I have a playful side. I feel, and act young! Becoming friends first is a smart place to begin, as it's essential to the longevity of any relationship. Anyone looking for a bucket list partner--only my bucket list partner must also be my best friend, and more. I especially like boating, and the way the scent of the ocean air can invigorate and melt away the cares of the day. I love secluded beaches, feeling the wind in my hair and warm sun on my skin. Someday, I hope to make it to Biltmore over the Christmas Holidays, which happens to be my favorite time of year. I find joy in many things, like sharing a romantic dinner together, traveling to a fascinating destination, passionate kisses once you arrive! Walks amongst nature-- I also enjoy: The Arts, museums, festivals, seeing great architecture--I admire historical places, family gatherings, and the laughter of children, and friends. It's really not what one does with their time activity wise, but who the time is shared with that makes it special. I think I lead a balanced lifestyle; I eat healthy, no fast food, nor processed (I am a good cook), and never have smoked. I conduct myself with class--no drugs, no vices here. I drink socially, not frequently. Are you affectionate? It’s easy for me to express affection to those I care about.I find myself attracted to people who are articulate communicators, and a sense of humor is the icing on the cake! As far as interests go, mine are diverse. The activity is secondary to the company it is shared with. I can be content in front of the TV if in the arms of the right man. I believe in God; and I am happy to discuss this at a more appropriate time. It's a pleasure for me to be the hostess at wonderful parties were great food and merriment abound, and having the people around me that I hold dear. I want to drink life in...Only it is far more pleasurable when one has a partner to share/celebrate life experiences with. Attracted to easy going, strong, yet nurturing men. I am looking to find one special piece of the puzzle to fit well with. Lunch, coffee, dinner, a party, I am very open minded. Make a suggestion-it's the company that matters most. Chemistry is important and usually can be ascertained within minutes, but certainly a place where we could share conversation would be the best first date. My photos are very current.

    Let's see...I'm tiny, about 5'2" ***pounds dripping wet :) I like just about anything outdoors. I love going to car shows, boat shows and NASCAR. I like wine festivals, long drives to nowhere in particular and finding new places to eat. I am as comfortable in my favorite jeans and t-shirt as I am in my fanciest dress. I'm happy staying home watching a good movie, going to the local dive bar to hear a live band or going out to a nice dinner. I'm a pretty much take anywhere kind of girl :) Married for 25 years, divorced for a little over 3. Here's one of my favorite quotes: Life is too short to be anything but happy. So kiss slowly, love deeply, forgive quickly, take chances and never have regrets. Forget the past, but remember what it taught you. I believe things happen for a reason, good or bad, everything that happens is a learning experience.As far as work goes I've been pretty successful, I'm a Software Development Director for the second largest software company in the world and have worked there for 23 years.

    I'm 80 degrees and always sunny!I'm an animal trainer for the movies, a job I absolutely love and feel blessed to have. I have been in the biz for 23 years and started my own company 18 years ago. How lucky to get paid to play with animals all day! I also have a non profit organization called Dream Fetchers which brings Movie Star Dogs to visit children who are sick, under privileged, and battling disabilities at schools, hospitals and where ever the need arrises. Our goal is to bring a smile to every child with the help of a Dog Star they may have seen on TV and in movies. This is something I am extremely passionate about. Cycling is my passion, I love to ride, ride, ride! Staying fit is a big part of my life.If you want to know more about me...you know what to do!

    Hummm.....Describe myself.....Well.. I love to laugh. I try to find humor in almost everything. I'm a music lover and honestly I think the only time I don't hear some type of music in my head is when I'm sleeping. I'm mom to an adult child. Being a mom has been the best thing I've ever done and the thing I'm most proud of. I'm not super physical and I have to make myself go to the gym. It's just not high on my priority list unless I have time to spare. Plus my job is kind of physical and do I want to go workout after 8 hours of a physical beating? Probably not. I don't do out-; such but I really believe that for the right person, all things are possible. It's the give and take thing. Besides, I like to think I'm open minded and would try something I've never done if I met someone I knew it was important to. (I do have a line though as I'm very afraid of heights) I like to dress up for a nice evening and I like to lounge around in my comfys. I love movies and live entertainment with music being my very favorite. I love to people watch but don't do much of that lately. I work with the public and for the most part seeing them all day is enough.I've been told I'm a good listener, that I'm funny and sassy... Sassy? does that mean "smart a--?" I'm kind of independant but that's really because I've had to be. As for the "dating" thing on my profile, I use that term because it's what has to be done to get the end result. I'd love to find someone for the long term but I don't want to put pressure on anything. I'd like to let it grow and form in it's own time. I'm not a serial dater. Reality? I haven't been on a date in over a year. We'll see if this site changes that.So I hope you were able to find out what you needed to know from this profile. Thanks for taking the time and I hope everything works out for you the way you want it to. Are they asking about the actual first meet? I feel the first meet should be very light so you can figure out if you really want to spend a "date night" with that person.For a first meet, it's just more comfortable to meet for a drink and a little conversation somewhere easy. Drink does not mean alcohol. It means whatever you drink. But it has to be in a place where normal conversation can be heard.
