I work in an exercise facility with older individuals continuing their exercise after cardiac rehab. Sometimes it's almost scary how well we get along but there are a lot of wonderful people that exercise there. If you would like some references I know several older ladies that I'm sure would give a glowing report :). I motivate myself to exercise by doing an occasional race or triathlon. So I do stay fit but I still have time for other things. I have 2 young children (ages 9 and 6) that I spend a lot of time with and of course love dearly. I consider myself honest and open-minded. I enjoy good conversation and making others laugh. I'm easy going and can go with the flow but I don't always follow the crowd. I am unique and that's just something you'll have discover for yourself.

Now let me say something about how I see dating. I've always been what I would call a serious dater (probably too serious) and it's honestly hard for me not to be. I never really dated "just for fun." I always dated to the for the purpose of finding "the one." Well that didn't work out too well so I'm trying to relax and chill out a bit on the seriousness. Now don't be confused, I am fun to be around and as I mentioned earlier I enjoy making others laugh.

But after a failed marriage, I'm really not in a hurry to get married again soon. Sure I would like to be in a mutually enjoyable relationship I just can't make any promises for what the future holds. And I know nobody can but I think you know what I mean.

I don't have all that much time to be dating more than 1 person at a time but if I did, it wouldn't be because I'm a "player" but because while I think I know what I'm looking for, dating different people can help you learn more about yourself and what kind of person is really best for you.

Having said that, when I am interested in someone I don't like to play games. If I think about you or feel like it, I will text or call or whatever. It doesn't mean I'm clingy or co-dependent (I'm very independent and enjoy my own time) it probably just means that I'm enjoying the whole initial infatuation period- something that should be fun. [shouldn't I be racking up some serious points for communicating my feelings and for communicating in general? :)]

For a first date I understand the desire to do something safe where you can talk and get to know each other but every once in a while it's fun to be a little more adventurous and move a little outside one's comfort zone. For dates in general I enjoy movies, dining out, some dancing. I like some active dates. I also like to check out different community events for a variety of things to do. But I can stay in and relax too. If you enjoy someone's company does it really matter what you do?
