About Me

I'm a very passionate, deep thinking person. I value people and learning new things. I won't ask for anything that I'm not willing to give. I abhor inequity and will always fight for the underdog. I spent 20 year of my life doing something that I didn't really want to do and then changed careers "mid-life" to finally follow my passion. So, I'm in a really good place now and finally doing something meaningful that I also love. I love being a mom and am at once terrified and elated that my girls are getting ready to "leave the nest". They're amazing people and very important to me. I've been through a few relationships - each with their own unique positives and negatives and all of them have helped me grow tremendously as a person. Now I want to find someone I can settle in with. Life is unpredictable. I don't want to spend whatever is left of it alone. Right now, I really just want to find someone I can hang with, talk to about anything - someone who has some time and wants to spend it with me. I want to focus on friendship first. I have always told my girls, "Marry your best friend". It's so important. I want someone who doesn't have the kind of baggage that keeps them from moving forward and living life. I want someone who understands the value of time - who is self-confident, enjoys what they're doing, realizes that life isn't all about work, and also values relationships. I'm trying to be present in my own life, so I want to be with someone who is present as well. I can handle intense, but I'm trying to be more easy going - so if you are that would be great! I have a good group of friends, so hopefully you like meeting new people. I also like hanging with my kids occasionally, so hopefully you don't mind teenagers. I can just as easily sit around at home and watch TV or go out for dinner and drinks and prefer to have a little of both in my week. I'm a talker and a listener - very "open book". I'm definitely a people person and although I can talk to anyone, I prefer to fill my life with "real" people. If any of this sounds good to you then send me an *** I am pretty content to do anything, but for the first date probably meet out for dinner and/or drinks somewhere - spend some time talking and getting to know one another.

    "The world is full of hopeful analogies and handsome, dubious eggs, called possibilities."“Once you stop looking for love you will find it” but I do know they were wrong. I tried it for a very long time and found only apathy awaited me. The less effort I put in, I of course met less people and stayed in my safe familiar routine.I give more credence to someone who advised me that by pursuing your own interests and doing what you love, you are more likely to find someone who has the same interests. Unfortunately, my sedentary interests are not really conducive with meeting new people. I have come to realize that I have become stuck in my comfort zone. I guess I am probably like many of you who realize that looking online is a now a viable option whereas it once had a bit of a stigma attached to it.Which is not to say that I don’t like the outdoors since I do enjoy camping, hiking, barbecues with friends, that sort of casual stuff. I certainly would do more of it if I had a partner that shared those interests. I have lost 75 pounds in the last 2 years and continue on the path of better health and a more active lifestyle. I realize saying that you are “trying” to lose weight is a bit like people who say they are “trying” to quit smoking. That is why I have only brought it up now after I have done it long enough to know it is not something I will give up on. I also want to find someone who will encourage and join me in more active adventures, even just a simple hike.I certainly don't think it is wrong to look online, I just think we may limit ourselves. I have a friend who has dated a few guys she met online and said something that really made sense. She said that she probably judges too quickly. Some people she dismisses just based on pics or one badly written paragraph in their profile.She mentioned how one serious relationship she had years ago she never would have had if it were someone online. She worked with a guy that she did not find physically attractive, and did not think was interesting. After working with him over several months, he opened up more and his great personality came through and she found herself thinking he was attractive, both inside and out. Although it ended after several years, she looks back on it fondly, and wonders how many of the guys she went on just the one date with, or did not even respond to online, may have been her perfect match. I guess we all may be guilty of that, expecting *** So I am striving to be more open and hope others out there will do the same. I do crave and thrive on intellectual stimuli. This does not mean the subject has to be heavy or controversial, it simply means I enjoy verbal communication with someone who can contribute but not dominate the conversation. The know-it-all people of the world are the biggest turn-off! I really enjoy when a relationship reaches the comfortable level. I know some who need constant drama but I love when it becomes comfortable and even a bit routine. This does not mean boring or stagnant.One of my favorite activities with friends is “wine cheese” night. We buy all different types of cheese and crackers along with assorted toppings. We gather together and slice up the cheese and toppings while drinking wine and talking. Just the prep time can take an hour. A simple pleasure that I find never gets old.I know this might sound a bit cliche’ but the biggest turn-on to me is a wicked, sharp, self-deprecating sense of humor. I can find humor in almost anything and appreciate that in others. Here are my deal breakers:Sense of humor. Top of the list. Has to be there. Even if you are somewhat shy, as long as you appreciate and understand my sense of humor, we are off to a great start. If you are too serious, there is no chance for us to mesh.You must not use the word irregardless. You must have basic grammar skills such as never stating, “I seen that.”You must love animals. You must be able to eat without your mouth open and you do not scrape your teeth across the fork.You drink socially but events, meals etc. do not get planned around the fact that you will be able to drink at said event.I will in turn offer you loyalty, humor, adventure, conversation, hopefully everything you are looking for. I love good conversation and friendly debates. I love my family and although you do not have to be close to your family you need to accept that I am close to mine.There is this great song that really sums up my feelings these days.;I'll miss you till I meet you." :)I have more to share but if you are not interested by now, I don’t think the rest would change your mind. Hope you are out there! Something simple, like meeting for coffee.

    well here I go- I love many things in life. Especially smiling, I want to find people who are kind understanding, honest not a game player. And dosn't live for drama !! who wants to be treated special and will treat me the same way... Im someone that wants to meet people that don't judge a book by its "cover". I am so much that way!! .And would appreciate meeting more people like that.. I'm very independent and I live a life with spirituality not so much religion.I'm definitely spontaneous and can be ready in about 20 minutes to do about anything. I love all types of music especially live music.Some of my favorite lyrics are from Pink Floyd: For long you live and high you fly,For smiles you give and tears you cry, for all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be. I think that sums it up quite nicely.I'm very easy going and enjoy meeting new people and talking with them and trying new things.I feel very blessed in so many ways,I have one beautiful daughter who lives at home and is very independent. I also have two very good friends their like a brother and a sister to me.. I need my special person, my partner to understand these kind of relationships. I'm not looking for any type of 3 ways or jumping into a uhaul !! I'm always working on myself every day. I'm over weight and trying to lose some weight not for vanity but to live a healthier life. I definitely would say I'm loyal,understanding and a great listener. And have been told this by many.And I enjoy meeting others that carry these same characteristics. I'm self employed so I need to stay close to SD .I love dogs and have two their the ones I sleep with every night. I strongly believe in only adopting animals from shelters or rescues.There are so many animals in need of homes. I wish I could have more but two is a good amount. I love travelling anywhere, even if its just a road trip to get some time to relax. I love getting a good massage regularly, I do pamper myself and others and have no problem doing that.. I've been told by many that I'm a good cook and I love to entertain,I love the pleasure of cooking a delicious and beautiful meal and watching others enjoy. The two things I must have are HONESTY AND RESPECT because I deserve that and so do you.I feel that those two things are very important in any relationships!!!! Looking forward to meeting you. Take are GG
