About Me

I'm a very busy entrepreneur in the middle of building business around the world. I would like to find someone to share personal time with that could lead to something more. I'm not in a hurry to find this person now, but I would make the time to make him a priority. I would like to have someone to share time with sooner rather than later.The things most important to me and about which I'm most passionate include animals - particularly dogs - and being outside in nature. I am a foster mom for a local dog rescue group so have several dogs around the house most of the time. Being supportive of other women who have difficulty seeing their attributes and children needing greater love and support with not-so-good home environments is also very important to me. I have developed several businesses that help the small and mid-sized business executive, so professionally, that keeps me passionate about what I do when I'm not outside with my dogs. I enjoy golf, participating in triathlons and generally being outside when the weather is nice (or skiing, sitting in a hot tub or in front of a fire with a good glass of wine when it's cold/snowy outside). I love, love, love blues music so enjoy places where I can listen to some good blues or jazz music without being overwhelmed by a smokey environment. I love to travel and experience different cultures, landscapes and foods and have many places I'd love to visit and to revisit. I also love to cook, so if you don't love food, music, dogs & the outdoors, we're not a good match. Or are these interests about as universally accepted as breathing?! I'm looking for a professional man who is confident (but not arrogant or bullyish), is committed to his role as a man with a woman, and who is also kind, generous and loving. He must LOVE dogs and he must be comfortable with my role as a professional woman and business owner who loves to come home and just be a woman. I want a man who understands that being a gentleman is who he is, not just what he does - it's how he thinks and not just a series of acts. I am a modern business woman who may not be home until late or may be traveling, but will always have his favorite drink stocked and he will always be well fed. He must be able to accept this. For those of you golf guys out there, I enjoy playing myself, but not with one of those crazy guys who throws his golf clubs or gets irritated because you just hit one in the woods and now we have to go find it. I'm a double-bogey golfer on average and I describe my game as having moments of brilliance steeped in pathetic mediocrity. I've had my fair share of birdies and pars ***but I have usually one of those dreaded "snowman" scores each 9 to balance those out :-(. So, someone who doesn't mind when I out-drive him or hit it into the woods and will help me look for it :-) would be great. Otherwise, I'll be out running, swimming, biking or hiking with one or more of my dogs in the spring, summer & fall mixed in with an outdoor event or two here and there.Boating is also a love of mine. Being on or near the water with a view of the water is like heaven on earth to me. Put some blues music, some good food &I'm far from perfect and certainly don't expect the "perfect guy" either, but I do expect mutual respect and some room for each other to be imperfect. I have no interest in anyone who wants to put me in their box of judgments or expectations of who someone "should be". Life is way too short to be with negative people, energy suckers, judges and hypercritical people. If you are over the age of 42 or 43 and you've never been married (nor been in a 5+ year relationship with some of it officially living together), you're probably not my type. I just want to be with someone who can accept me with my "less than perfect" traits and my professional life, who appreciates me and with whom we can just enjoy each other the majority of the time. I am more than willing to be the same non-judgmental and loving partner.I believe in a balanced but robust approach to life of work hard and play hard filled with intellectual challenge, appreciation of nature and art, laughter and a lot of love and fun with people with whom I connect.A few quotes that reflect who I am. . . Jack Kerouac quotes“the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn. . . ."“I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.”;Never love anybody who treats you like you're ordinary."**I usually respond to everyone except those who just say "Hi" or the like which is just a waste of time to me because there's nothing really to respond to. Whatever floats our boat for the night. Could be just drinks; could be drinks & dinner; could be going to see some music or an art event. Whatever is going on that looks interesting with an opportunity to part ways or continue on.

    I would say Hello and thanks for stopping by my profile. As far as things to do... I try to be active. I own a kayak and would like to do some paddling this year. I plan to get up to Door County WI this year it has been a few years for me. I find online dating hard but I am willing to give it a try. I'm not sure how else to meet people as Im not much into the bar scene. Im more into the farmers market. My pics are current within 3 years although camera put old date. The last picture is from around that time. Looking for: Someone who can compromise, is respectful to women, who is in decent (not perfect) shape. Also looking for someone who wants a committed relationship. I'm not looking to rush into anything and want friendship first. Thanks for reading.

    I love to do gardening, sewing, cooking, reading, movies (especially while cuddling with someone special). I am open-minded and try to keep a positive attitude. I love and have a good sense of humor! I LOVE TO LAUGH!! I love to try new things with someone to enjoy them with. It feeds my soul to help others. I need to have someone special to share the rest of my life with to love and care for each other and serious intimacy is a must!!! : ) I love having someone who feels as strongly about this as I do! I am a great cook and enjoy having someone to cook for. I am easy-going and prefer a simple lifestyle. I am not flattered or impressed with material things such as diamonds, gold or money. When I am in love...the only diamonds I need are the sparkles in your eyes and the finest gold is within our hearts. Money is not something that I seek...its nice to have of course...but I cannot be bought with it. I have never been financially wealthy and probably never will be...I am okay with that. My idea of being rich is having a stable home...my family...and someone special to share my life with. I love giving and recieving great massages! I believe that the elements that make a lasting andhealthy relationship are honesty, loyalty, good communication and an amazing sex life!. I dont think one should be in a relationship with someone that they feel the need to try to change. If I cannot accept him for who he is...then why am I even with h im? Learning and growing togethimport.an.t and being supportive of each other's hopes and dreams is to grow together.. to love and and accept each other through both good and bad times and happy or sad....for rich or for poor. Its good to listen with your heart as well as you ears.

    Hi there and thanks for checking out my profile.I have a lot of girlfriends that I do things with, but sometimes they just don't cut it, you know what I mean? I'm an easy-going down-to-earth kinda gal! I am outgoing, independent, but yet passionate with morals and values. I'm friendly and respectful - incredibly sarcastic and silly... I love to have fun and joke around. I like just about anything outdoors! I love live music and enjoy going to concerts. I mostly listen to alternative/new age music, not too fond of country, but I do like some. I love to garden--it's a hobby of mine. I like to visit the ocean but there is something about the lakes and mountains that take my breath away!I'm hoping to meet someone who has a similar interest but that's honest, from the get go...is that too much to ask?! I am selective as I know exactly what I am looking for and what I don't want. It would be great to meet that guy that can relate and knows what I'm talking about. Is that guy you? I think we should first we meet up somewhere for a drink and see if there is a connection. Then, If it's meant to be, it's meant to be...time will tell, right?
