Good luck everyone in finding love, sex, companionship.. whatever it is you're looking for... me... well after the last one.. I think I'm done with "looking for love" for awhile... maybe I'm just one of those not meant to have it in my life.

Am I the only who sees a couple walking into a bar/resturant on a friday night and has a little pang of envy? I'm ok alone.. but I miss having someone to share those everyday occurances with... not to mention just "have fun" with.

Don't be shy if you're not located locally... I don't have anything tying me to Michigan and IF things worked.. well I'm open to all options

I've been told I'm an old soul with a tom boy's spirit... a true study in contradiction. If you're looking for a barbiedoll with an IQ to match her dress size.. keep looking, because that's not me. I am a strong woman with a soft soul (just don't tell) who isn't afraid to run with scissors and eat desert first. I love the finer things in life, the Arts, Fine Dining, traveling, but appreciate the simple things too.. the first flower of spring, puppy breathe, waking in the arms of someone you love. Nothing like spending an afternoon laying in bed listening to a good thunderstorm, laughing, talking...

I will admit to a few vices... first being sexy high heels. which is part of why I like guys over 5'9 (not a must, simply a preference), I can still look up at you while I batt my eyes, even in my highest heels. next vice... I'm a travel junkie. I keep a suitcase half packed in case the mood strikes me to just GO. I love to see new places, whether its an hour away or 13 hours flight, I find it thrilling exploring new cultures and have recently gone to Germany, Paris & England on my own, but would love to have someone to go and ooohh and ahhhh over things with me, would make it all that more special having someone to make those memories with.

Other then that I enjoy a variety of things... from kissing to cooking (to me it's a labor of love, a special way to show you care and I've been told I'm pretty good at it!), snorkeling (would REALLY love to learn to scuba!), antiquing,enjoy sports, especially college football, hockey (Wings, Gryphons & Whalers) & since my trip to England a BIG rugby fan! I enjoy just about anything outdoors from camping to horsebackriding, canoeing, fishing... to just bbq'ing on the porch for a few close friends. Love the sound of leaves underfoot in the fall, bonfires, moonlit nights, the electricty of a thunderstorm, vegas, A2 or anywhere I can sit back and people watch. I'm always up to trying something new.. never know when a new passion may strike you. MMM now speaking of passion...

I've been alone for a bit now, and while I don't NEED a man to make me happy, as I have a pretty good life, I do miss having someone special to spoil, to share those little things with, to make memories that last a lifetime, and sit in comfortable silence with. I have no Baggage and not into games, well... unless you count Babyoil Twister *wicked grin*. I took my time to heal, now I'm ready to move forward. Since I'm a smart strong lady, I'm looking for a strong, smart man(sorry THIS is a must...)who has a sensitive side... who still remembers how to treat a lady like a lady, cause I'll spoil you in return, if you're the one. Should be over the party boy stage, cause I'm not looking to be anyone's bootycall, I'm worth much more then that! I don't care what you drive, who you wear or what you make, those things aren't important and don't impress me nearly as much as the MAN you are. Common interests and a love of life is a start, as is a chemistry that makes you melt and leaves you waiting to hear his voice again and makes you smile whenever you think of him. I want the passion again, the type of PASSION that you can see in his eyes whenever you're together or in that look he gives you across the room at a party that says "just wait til later" that comes not just from an intense physical attraction, but from much more. I guess I want it all, willing to wait, not willing to compromise.

My ex regularly commented that I was the best woman he'd ever known, had the biggest heart and was the best friend you could ask for and while some see these qualities as flaws, I am and will remain true to them. I'm not afraid to admit that when I love, I love well. There are no walls, nothing barred...I do not know how to love halfway. I'm looking for that man who realizes that life isn't about the whirlwind but the quiet that comes afterwards... the true friendship, the respect, the little things that show you care even when the words aren't spoken... who realizes a daisy can mean more then a dozen Roses. I am a one man woman, true to a fault (but don't get me wrong, I'm no doormat) We've all been hurt, but I Still Believe.

So... if you dare, if you want a strong, sensual woman, good cook, sports fan, who has a brain, then talk to me. Bonus points if you like animals and if you give a great massage...DING DING DING, go right to the Bonus Round. You must be willing to laugh with me (at me?) every day...

A quiet public location... good conversation... a few blushes and shy smiles... perhaps a hand settled warmly on your arm as I listen to you speak... instant physical chemistry as well as intellectual and personal attraction... and of course, lots of laughs! Let's not forget the cardinal rule, either... a real "date" ends with some sort of kiss. If there's no kiss, it was a business meeting or something, not a date (or at least not a GOOD one)! *grins*
