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!

    Woman. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.

    Looking for: man. In age: 50-60

    I’m a lady and love to be treated as one. I’m comfortable in jeans but also love being a girly girl wearing alluring dresses and sexy heels being desirable. I love to travel.....guess all that military moving around stayed in my blood! I love music, movies, sunsets and quite times. I cry at movies, I’m passionate, loyal, loving, caring and a true romantic. I love to spoil my man, wear his shirts and brighten his day by just walking into the room. Love to send cards or leave little notes just because and show him how much I’m thinking of him. I play no games and want no drama, been there, done that, and never want it again! I’m not into one night stands, young boys or someone wasting my time. At this point in my life, I’m ready to love again, settle down, and give one special man my heart forever. I love a clean cut men who smells good and takes care of themselves. I like a man who opens my door, pulls out my chair , sends cards or flowers just because and makes me smile. I’m looking for my lover, best friend and someone to have a great conversation with and to be a great listener. I want to feel his breath on my neck and feel the Goosebumps and butterflies in my stomach when he touches me. I want to lay in his arms all night and wake up to his breath in my ear. I want to spoil him and to always take care of him and be there when he needs a shoulder to lean on. He must be honest, loyal, and above all faithful. I’m looking for a man who believes in God, family and loves children. I'm also looking for a man close to my age. I want a man who looks at me as my father did with his love, compassion, and adornment for my mother, to be there with one another until our last breath on earth together. I want a man who just can’t live with me, but who can’t live without me. I want to long for one another when we are apart and count the minutes till he walks through the door with passion in his heart and eyes for just me. I want to always make him feel he is as special, loved, respected, and adored by me and as I am to him. If you are this man, I'm the woman that was meant for you..... I don't do the whole club scene any more but do enjoy still getting out and listening to good music. I'm happy to just walk hand in hand along the beach, hold one another on the sofa and watch a movie, quite romantic dinners, and spending time with family. It wouldn’t matter what we are doing as long as we are doing it together. I am only looking for a meaningful relationship that can grow into a lifetime of memories and great times.

It feels toooo wide open. Thanks xo Looking to spend a bit of time having a drink, a walk, a hike, a bike ride, a boat ride, paddling a canoe, go dancing? ice cream cone place, a patio, share a meal. Life is short, we should do what makes us happy. Please no interviews at Timmys, this is not a job application. lol

    I'm fairly newly single, have lots of energy and enjoy hanging out with friends and family. I like to stay busy and am always juggling multiple projects. I'm in the process of opening an upscale thrift store and am busy scouting locations and gathering inventory. I'm positive and upbeat and try to surround myself with like-minded people. Let me get back to you on this one!
