strange to write about yourself.. but.. *deep breath* here goes! I am self assured, open ,caring, sometimes too much! I am a true Pisces...artistic, creative, and emotional, but the good things Pisces have too, like compassion, attention, and i give my all in every situation. I am 47 years old and 5'5" and have 3 kids who are grown and on thier own and great young adults. I have a few extra pounds and am curvey but not fat, im working on the weight thing but hey i love me anyways. I am a very sensual and a truly tactile person. I love to tease and be teased.. laughter is more important then anything! I'm an artist and pro photographer, just moved here to northern indiana (valpo area)from Colorado so do not know many people, and i'm firmly slamming the door on one life, ready to open the door to a new one. Im ready for an adventure! who wants to go with?

First date should be someplace simple and casual, meet for a drink or a sandwhich somewhere.. times are tough all over! but im still old fashioned and love a guy with a single rose, or a romantic plan, or whos willing to say I like you lets do something else now!
but now here is what im looking for....
(checking my list) im looking for a partner in life. I need a man who is funny, self assured, caring and likes himself. You cannot give to others if you don't like who you are. I love tall men, and believe family is the most important thing so would need a man who felt the same. however my kids are grown and im not ready to raise another family, so prefer someone with grown children as well. I love a man who works with his hands, and smart is important since i love to have intelligent conversations.

Guys PLEASE fill out your profile and have a good photo, I don't judge on looks alone but i am a pro photographer so a very visual person. also if you cant get my attention in your profile its not going to happen. I am looking for someone 44-55..and i dont smoke, never have, so cant see myself with a smoker. sorry.

please no alcoholics or recreational drug users! Life is to be enjoyed and is far too short to waste time on that. you have to love travel and art, as that is very important to me, and yes, sex is high on the top of my list so a sensual playful man must be attached. drop me a line here or iyd39@msn.com
