Woman. 54 years old. Zodiac sign: Pisces.
Looking for: man. In age: 51-61
I am a woman, a mother, and successful career professional who is in love with life, the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the beauty of nature. I maxed out my retirement at my job with 34 years of creditable service and I retired as of July 1, ***. While I do think I can adjust to this new lifestyle, I expect it to be temporary and do intend to return to work until my youngest son is through college. For now I'm decompressing, having some fun, doing some house projects (yes, I'm quite handy for a lady) and eventually I'll seek employment again. I'm not a lady who sits idle, so for me busy is good and my guy needs to be able to keep up the pace.I thrive on soaking up the sun, love digging in the dirt to see what flowers I can grow or landscaping project I can undertake. I enjoy live music, sports, almost anything that takes me outside, arts, traveling, family time, fine dining, casual entertaining, the beach and the mountains. The beach recharges me and time at my mountain house provides down time, fresh air and is always a nice weekend get away. In ***I was introduced to the fun of couples dancing and came to enjoy East & West Coast Swing, and a few other dances. If you enjoy couples dancing, you get bonus points and if you love swing, then double points for you, as I really do want to dance regularly again.Having lost loved ones, I know how fragile life can be. I value life, family, honesty, health. I try to be positive, make the most of each moment, eat healthy, exercise and work hard at everything I do. I made the switch to a vegetarian diet June ***. I value both organic and vegan diets, but am far from those diets at this point. I have no expectations of a vegetarian partner, but I do want a partner who will encourage me to exercise as I continue my journey to a healthier lifestyle. I work hard to remain at my ideal weight, am far from perfect and don't seek perfection, but I'm not attracted to men who are over weight. Therefore, I seek a slim, toned or athletic individual, not someone significantly over weight.I am emotionally and financially stable, so I don't "need" but do "want" a relationship. The quality man I seek should be of similar age, and understand that with a 17 year old son, I am first a mom. While dating, I hope to meet someone with whom I can eventually build a trusting relationship with a view toward an eventual long term exclusive relationship. That having been said, I seek a man who is happy, makes me laugh, values nutrition, health, shares values, pleasures, respects me and is a true gentleman. I want my partner to know how to dress when we go out, to know and use manners, open doors for me and his reassuring arm on me should give me that, "I am his his lady" feeling. Don't be mistaken, he should have enough bad boy in him to cause me to smile and shake my head in amazement at times. A beginning with physical attraction, common interests, friendship, laughter, respect and trust should be a great foundation for a solid friendship and potential relationship. My children include a married daughter, a son age 21 and a son age 17, who have always been the center of my world. My daughter graduated college, works and gave our family a beautiful child Nov ***. My oldest son is a Senior at UGA this fall (Go Dawgs!) and my youngest son is a Junior in high school. As I reflect, their childhood days have passed at lightening speed. I'm enjoying the last couple of years with a son still home, yet beginning to consider and embrace the many transitions ahead, this new phase of life....retirement, returning to the work force for a second but brief career, and the youngest son eventually leaving the nest.I am a woman with many skills,enjoy order, a well maintained yard and home. I'm comfortable in jeans/shorts and a "T", but also have an assortment of little black dresses, heels and jewelry to dress up and join you on the town. I love concerts, dancing, live music, or a quiet evening at home with my man sharing a beer by the pool or a bottle of wine as we make dinner. I want to meet my new best friend, and eventual long term partner. We are not all going to have that essential chemistry or be partners, but I will try to respond to those who contact me, for everyone deserves words and acknowledgement.I never planned to grow old alone and I still don't; However, I won't settle, so this search seems to be long and ongoing. Thanks for reading my profile. God's speed on your journey and may good health and happiness be abundant in your life as we each search for that one person who may become our life partner. "It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best you very often get it". ~W. A coffee shop in the morning, a restaurant for lunch, an appetizer, a beer, a glass of wine, dinner, a frozen yogurt or a walk in the park. Anything goes as long as it affords both the opportunity to determine if we each wish to spend additional time together. Following us meeting, if we wish to see one another again, a first date could be anything we mutually decide. Surprise me and make a suggestion!

Hello! I am employed and I enjoy my job..., most of the time. I try to keep things pretty simple with a positive attitude on life..., and always try to live by the Golden Rule. I am Spiritual and belong to a fellowship. In the summer you would find me on the beach with my girlfriends...in the winter I am happiest with snow on the ground...or looking for it in the mountains. I prefer being outdoors. Traveling is part of me, German Father and Guyanese Mother saw to that...now I would like to try for more of Europe, maybe Thailand. I have a cousin living there for the next few years. Life for me is simple and I avoid drama at all cost. I never had children but have been blessed to have had and have many of them as a constant in my life ... I'm not sure how it happened...but my life has been full because of them! I believe that I am perfectly imperfect and my friends tell me that I am a Good Listener, Respectful, Trustworthy, Understanding, Funny, Curious and Infectiously Happy. I believe a healthy relationship is being able to show your feelings, all of them..and..I believe in the three C's, Conversation, Compassion and Compromise. I'm adventurous and still a bit of a thrill seeker, I like to drive fast ;). Although, I am at the time of my life where it just takes takes a bit longer to recover. My search is about a desire, not a need. What is most important to me is about sharing our hopes and dreams together..., being supportive to each other & cherish our lives where we can achieve our goals with endless possibilities. A partner that can give freely of themselves, and appreciates the same in return. I believe we should be both students and teachers so we both can learn from each other and other's in our lives. I am looking for someone who is realistic and down to earth and wants to live a wonderful life. It's not about what you have or don't have, it's what is in your heart and how you treat others that will show who you really are. And yes, let's be honest, chemistry is important to everyone and we all have our taste..., prefer athletic average or a little husky types. I know what I appreciate and also know what I don't want. Life is to short for Games, and it just becomes to disheartening. It's not what we get out of the relationship that counts... it is what we bring into it that gives it life. I know we are not all perfect, we are human and desire that Special Someone. FAITH, HOPE and LOVE..., But The Greatest Of These Is LOVE. As for likes and dislikes...practically everything is in the like column except dancing...I was not blessed with rhythm...I will always give it a shot though, not to proud to give it a shake! I love most music, ...and I enjoy singing too...although, once again, was not blessed in that area either. As for movies, I love everything but Horror flicks.So my question is; Is there someone who will be willing to take a chance in a friendship to see where it may bring us?"Thank You" for taking your time out and reading my profile. And if you are interested , please feel free to contact me. "Courage is not the lack of fear..., courage is knowing there is a fear, but having the faith by taking the risk to go through it, knowing no matter what, it will be all right". We never know..., unless we try. It is all about the journey, not the destination. I will be upfront and answer anything you would or should want to know about me...please do the same. HugsUpdated ***I live between O.C. and A.C., NJ so there are many options!
