I am not your typical Orange County gal, I just happen to live and work in the OC, but I am an East Coast transplant. I am "real", down to earth, and easy going. Guess you could say I am the real deal. I am a very open, honest, caring and sincere person and I am looking to share my life with ONE special man who possesses the same qualities. I am looking for a man that is interested in starting a dating relationship which would turn into a long time exclusive relationship. I AM LOOKING FOR A MAN WHO IS AVAILABLE PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY and has the time to spend in getting to know me. I am not interested in a long distance relationship, or a phone, email or text relationship. Just be honest, if you do not have the time to cultivate a "real" relationship, and are interested in dating numerous women to "find" one for the flavor of the week, DO NOT CONTACT ME. Too many men claim they want something "long term", but do not have the time or are not in a position in their life to date or become involved with anyone.

I am intelligent, humorous, fun loving, like the outdoors, especially the mountains, enjoy movies, listening to music, wine tasting, traveling, the beach, sitting in front of a cozy fireplace, just about anything two people can do together. I also enjoy fine dining, dancing, cooking with that special person at home and cuddling on the couch to watch a movie.

Because I look younger than my stated age, I am looking for someone between the ages of 47 and 58 for dating. I am very open to a long term relationship if we hit it off, are attracted to one another and have chemistry. The attraction and chemistry are very important to me, as well as your intelligence, sincerity and confidence. I am not into playing games or wasting anyone's time and would expect the same from you. Just looking for one great guy to help me enjoy life to the fullest. Communication, spending time together and frequent contact are very important in getting to know each other.

I would prefer if you have older children as mine are grown and I have a pretty flexible schedule.

A drink at a place near the beach or just a quick cup of coffee is fine. Some place where we can quietly talk and get to know a little bit about each other, one day at a time. Let's meet and see what develops.
