About Me

I'm retired but still full of spirit and silliness and think of myself as an individualist. My photos are recent and have been told I look quite sophisticated. It's how I look, NOT how I am. Actually, I'm very down-to-earth and unpretentious and prefer people who are the same. I was blessed to have inherited my Dad's sense of humor and you'll usually find me smiling or laughing at the absurdities of life. I usually make the best of things even when they don't go my way. I enjoy my home but like getting out, seeing new places and trying new things. I enjoy using my mind and have an interest in a wide variety of things. The things that make me most happy are very often the simplest things... time with friends, flea markets & yard sales (hoping to find an unexpected treasure), people watching, preparing a meal together (I'm a pretty good cook), going for a drive stopping for lunch at some charming spot we will find along the way. I've been single for a very long time and to tell the truth, I've never found the single life particularly satisfying. I enjoy being with others and what would make me most happy would be to find a parter I can love and cherish and share the joys life has to offer. I'm affectionate but not over-bearing, intelligent but not a know-it-all and I am considerate and thoughtful of others. There are many things I enjoy, but doing becomes delight when I can share it with the one I love. Honesty is most important and I treat others, including myself, with respect and fairness. Being able to share some of my interests with my partner is important to me but I think the most important thing to share is our values, our ability to communicate with each other and our willingness to compromise when we disagree. I think it's also important to respect our needs for private time.I have a delightful dog, a Havapoo (Havanese/poodle) who goes by the name, Shana. She's 12 lbs, very sweet and calm, and all who meet her love her. My music tastes run from jazz, the old standards, to the classics. I've been singing jazz all my life and a couple of years ago decided to study the craft and learn proper singing technique to preserve my voice till death do us part. I love a good discussion on many subjects: (currents events, what's been happening in our lives, sharing something we have recently read, thought provoking or funny movies, musicals and documentaries. Having said all that, I think the most important things in a relationship are the values we share, our ability to communicate with each other and our willingness to compromise if or when we don't agree and a respect for our needs for privacy. I am not a religious person but live my life with honesty, integrity and love. And after all is said and done, I'd love to meet someone who is kind, romantic, has some smarts, and is healthy with a healthy sense of humor and who lives within 50 miles of Portland. What's inside is more important to me than appearances although I must admit to finding excessive weight a turn-off.I think I'll end on that note and hope what I've written appeals to you.I prefer a first date to be very casual, meeting in a quiet, public place for coffee or perhaps to share a light meal. We'll get to know a bit about each other and share a few laughs. If all goes well we'll make plans to meet again. :-}

    Well to start off with my name is Melanie...but most ppl call me Mel. I am 32 years old,I work full time as a phlebotomist at a doctors office and am also in college continuing my education. I own my own home and car and have a stable career, I love to go out on the weekends...Love going to Cowboys to 2 step and line dance, bowling,movies etc. and just being out of the house, But also love staying in! My friends say I am funny and sweet and a definite "True Blonde" ~~ ;) I am really quite and shy at first but once I get to know someone that all changes! I am looking for someone who can accept me for who I am as a person and not try to change that and also have respect, this person must also LOVE to have FUN and have a sense of humor! I am NOT DTF so if all your looking for is a piece of ass move along! Also I'm not into the high school petty games and will not tolerate them at all! Also if your the type to just stop talking to a girl after a few dates with no explanation then please don't start talking to me! And if your into the skinny model types thats not me! One more thing....if your NOT 100% over an ex girlfriend/wifey etc then you shouldn't be on this site! Well if there is anything you would like to know please feel free to ask!!

    Woman. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Scorpio.

    Looking for: man. In age: 43-63

    I am a real woman.Sharp mind, soft body, slightly cynical but with an optimistic streak. Can be a bit of a handful (I call it passion) so I get on well with peeps who are not easily intimidated. I love cooking, literature, film and travel. I enjoy developing property and planning interior design. Quite good at shopping both a skip hound and an auction-goer. I am looking for an Alpha Male with old fashioned values and a modern outlook. Manners are important. Charm, wit and charisma are good. Energy, drive and confidence are a bonus. I would be fibbing if I said looks weren't important, but I am more attracted by personal style than even features and a six pack. I am attracted to self-assured, single men so if you are too shy to post a photo or are worried that someone you know will see that you are on a dating site then I wish you all the very best of luck .....with someone else Footnote: Photos: Guys, what is it about posing in a swimwear, singlet or football strip or with a large glass of beer that is supposed to make us want to meet you? Likewise the motorbike/car/boat. Women dont respond to these visual cues the way your mates might. I want to date a Man not his toys ;-)Words: I can be wooed with words, Hi doesn't cut it. Many men on here describe themselves as "genuine, honest, sincere" and "tactile", "love cuddles", "don't bite" and "ask for more info" zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz If I haven't scared you off I would love to hear from you.For the first meeting I would go for a low-commitment cup of coffee in a relaxed environment where we can hear ourselves speak but others can't eavesdrop.If that works and there is some chemistry I'd be happy to follow up with a Proper Date.
