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!

    Hi! I'm easygoing, rarely in a bad mood, down to earth, friendly and fun. I can be a little crazy and playful but I can be romantic and sentimental too. I want a life filled with pleasure and joy, laughter and love. I look sexy in jeans and a t-shirt or "all dolled up" as my mother would say. You can feel safe to bring me home to your mother ( as long as you don't live there too!) My friends describe me as having a light in my eyes, smiling all the time, thoughtful, respectful and loyal. I am passionate, affectionate and feminine with no baggage and no drama! In my lifetime I have learned many lessons such as Don't put a nice Shiraz in checked baggage. You can trade sunglasses and c. Don't say " All In" Funny how we get on this site with the goal being to get off it! I want us both to feel like the luckiest person in the world. Life is so much more healthier, richer and more gratifying when two are together and passionately in love I think it's important to have friends ( yours, mine and ours) but you will be my best friend. I make a great sidekick and ally for this crazy but wonderful world. The internet is a good place for an introduction but it can't replace a few minutes of conversation. I would much prefer to talk on the phone and then meet person to person. Thanks for taking the time to read all this. If you made it this far I'd like to meet you for that alone! Good Luck! Be kind, Lots of love. We decide together!

    Woman. 52 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.

    Looking for: man. In age: 49-59

    I am ready to find the love of my life, my best friendship, partner and lover. Ready to enter the next phase in my life with that special someone. I have grown spiritually and mentally over the years due to life experiences. I'm not into head games or drama of any kind. I am conservative with old fashion values and morals. If your into porn, dishonest or a player don't bother. I am comfortable with myself and know what I want, and willing to give 110%. Communication is key and taking the time to turn a friendship into a long term love affair is what I long for. I love to laugh and have been told have a good sense of humor. My favorite places have the mountains or sunsets to view. I love romance and having butterflies in my stomach at the mere thought of you. I love all kinds of music except for rap. I like a variety of things and just the average gal. Would like to tell more after you and I talk. I like to hear the voice and see if we connect. Christian believing values. I am faithful and ready for the plunge. Young at heart. Ready to find that diamond in the rough to grow old with..:) Who knows, whatever we agree to.
