About Me

My first day as an online dater, a "gentleman" (perhaps appropriately self-titled as Kidneyshovel) asked me to come over and hang out in his basement at 11 PM. Hmmm.....not really a basement kind of girl.And so it goes, here I am, again, giving it a try...I love books. I fantasize about being trapped in a library for months and reading all the books on my wish list (IQ84), and all the books I'd love to experience again (Of Human Bondage), and all the books I didn't really like, if only to give them the second chance they deserve (sorry Moby-Dick).I am deeply affected by beauty--even something as small as the way light makes shapes on a dusty floor. Colors, fabrics, fashion, buildings, birds, all attract and hold my eye. I can't help but assign meaning, which probably isn't there, to the smallest visual details.I love dancing, well, any kind of movement really. I like to tiptoe and twirl, cartwheel and climb, leap and lunge, sway and swoon. Take me dancing and we're off to a swimming start. I don't think adults are playful enough. I'd like to meet someone who has a healthy sense of play and fun.These are a few of my favorite things:TV: Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire (loving season 4), Six Feet Under, House of Cards, early seasons of Parks and Rec.-Up Bird Chronicles (love everything by Murakami), The Executioner's Song, The History of Love, Sophie's Choice...A few of the things I can do:**Palm a basketball (a woman with very large--yet feminine!--hands)**Dominate the scrabble board (a woman of many words)**Recite a few Shakespearean sonnets (a woman inspired by beauty)**Knock back a dozen cookies in one sitting (a woman of serious appetites)**Fall asleep within 30 seconds of my head contacting the pillow (a woman with a clean conscience)**Rock funky leopard heels, skinny jeans and t-shirt (a woman with a sense of fashion)***I am a few years older than my age posted here, but men often cap their search at ***an age I can easily pass for (: If you find the fact that I've done this dishonest (which is weird since I'm stating it here), then there are certainly no hard feelings on my end, but chastising me as your opening line, well...honestly, I'd prefer to be invited to a basement by Kidneyshovel. Something short and sweet: a walk through the park or at the beach (not the boardwalk though as I was run over by a drunk bicyclist on a meetville date!), or a glass of wine.I don't exchange phone numbers (and for very good reason--the whole one bad apple spoils the whole barrel thing), so we will have to arrange things via messages through meetville. If we meet and, god forbid, we are not a match, let's end things gracefully. And by gracefully I mean no hard feelings and no need for follow up *** the initial recognition and so-be-it-I-wish-you-well exchange. We've all been there, or at least had the impulse to want to keep writing, but my lack of interest is not a statement about your value and vice versa.

    Are you looking for somebody who loves to have fun? Someone willing to try new things with? A girl that you can relax and be yourself around? If you don't take the chance you never know, I might just be that one?!I would like to meet a man who cares about themselves, takes pride in what they do and doesn't let the everyday little things get to him. It all starts with a hello.... hopefully one that never ends

    Woman. 41 years old. Zodiac sign: Taurus.

    Looking for: man. In age: 38-48

    I am a working professional that is fun and outgoing. I love what I do, helping people to get better and back to their daily activities/sports. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I would love to start a family of my own. Definitely more of a summer/beach person. The last few NY winters have been pretty rough! I am looking for someone who is interested in having a real relationship and is trustworthy and honest. "Players" need not apply. A good first date would be good conversation, good food and a nice bottle of red wine.

    Woman. 40 years old. Zodiac sign: Taurus.

    Looking for: man. In age: 37-47

    I do believe that we are not put on this earth to live alone..... I am new to this online dating thing... I figure what do I have to lose.... I like camping, scuba diving, horse back riding, swimming, riding bikes, I prefer to watch movies at home & home cooked meals. I do not like the clubbing life I never really cared for that kind of scene...... I prefer a man who has God in his life and is not a shame to tell anyone. I dont care about how much money someone makes Just as long as you are a saver not a spender. To me that shows responsibility.I am a true lady I dont care to share sexy pics or like to have sexual conversations on the phone..... I am not looking for a short term relationship. The only games that I play are with my six year old daughter...... I am a very independent women..... I will also teach my daughter to be the same.......,I am very affectionate but not at first.... I love to cuddle, hold hands and some times kiss but only at appropriate times....... If I look at your profile that pretty much says that you have caught my eye already but like I said I am a lady I feel that is the first move and will wait for you to talk if you are interested............I do not believe in Karma But what I do believe is that God is in control. He allows the good and the bad things to happen to the good and bad people.Looks are not everything to me but how you hold your self is what I care about....... Age is not another issue...... But I am not looking for a father for me or my daughter..... I like all kinds of music but not really a fan of country.... a casual walk in the park would be an ideal date for me. I feel thatis the best place to get to know one another without any interruptions.
