About Me

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!

    I believe if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck.....yup, it's a duck! I have a great sense of humor, but the previous statement is no joke! Translation.......if you are sincere, it will show! If you are a player/liar, it WILL show! So, please, gentlemen (and I don't use the word lightly), if you are just messing around and want to mess around with allot of others, this profile is not for you. I am loving, honest, and work hard to keep myself looking/feeling as good as possible for me and for you! (so you should be in reasonable shape as well. You don't have to be perfect, but I have a general rule where physicality's are concerned......If you can't see yours ,you can't see mine! Sorry, but a big gut turns me off! and you MUST take care of your teeth) I am nice when you're nice to me, not when you're not! I will trust you as long as your words and actions follow each other. If all of this sounds harsh, please understand, I want someone who is hard working, loyal, honest, loving (passionate about us....and only a truly honest/passionate person will understand what that means) and cares about their appearance. Still reading?.... OK, I love all kinds of music, country, rock, rap, and yep...opera! I like to go bike riding and most other physical activities. I like to cook and have been told I'm pretty good at it. My favorite is to cook with my man, not for my man(but that is not out of the question I actually enjoy cooking). I just enjoy a good glass of red wine while we both prepare the feast! I have a dog and she is the sweetest thing...half Brittney, half blue tic coon hound. Traveling?...Oh, yeah! Hope I didn't offend anyone, just trying to be honest. keep it simple

    Woman. 51 years old. Zodiac sign: Pisces.

    Looking for: man. In age: 48-58

    Hello. Like most people, I hate writing about myself, but here we go...I love to keep busy and travel and learn new things. Life is an adventure and it is too dang short to sit around and not enjoy it! I consider myself to be fairly bright, sophisticated and professional. In addition, I am extremely independent. I am goofy and fun too. Enjoying life and socializing are my hobbies. By trade I am an "at-risk" high school teacher for a program called "CSS". How did I end up here?..... I have been separated for years. Ex lives with his girlfriend and we are both just good friends...more on that if you want to know more later. I have 2 grown boys. One will be home this summer and goes to MSU. If you are interested maybe we can talk, if not....good luck out there. :)

    Woman. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Leo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 50-60

    I am looking for a genuinely good person who has a great sense of humor and wants to be in a relationship with the right person. I am independent, happy, stable, and fun to be around. There is absolutely no drama in my life and want to keep it that way. I work out, enjoy being outdoors, hanging out with friends, reading, watching football, going to the beach or pool, boating and visiting my family. I like casual places and enjoy live music. My favorite type of music is classic rock. I would love to meet someone to share good times and more. Meet for a drink or coffee and conversation. See if there is chemistry.
