I appreciate SIMPLE things in life...music, long walks, deep conversations, quiet moments, snuggling, lingering kisses, chocolate, travel, short weekend trips, and good old fashioned RoMaNcE. I'm cautious, dependable, domesticated, extremely inquisitive and have been blessed with a great sense of humor and common sense. I'm certainly not perfect, enjoy sleeping in occasionally, and don't always make my bed.:-) I dislike clutter, ignorance, rude and inconsiderate people, poor personal hygiene, bad teeth, and spiders. I'm unencumbered, childless and free to explore whatever I choose. :-)

My pictures were taken in March of 09, I'm certainly not into deceiving anyone, I know how it feels!

I'm enjoying life.... what a ride it's been! :-) It would be great to further explore it with a gentleMAN I could admire, respect, and feel safe to be me with. I'd like to find the gentleMAN who'll rock my world and shake it up a bit. :-) Being the mature man that he is he understands the value of exploring a woman's mind, spirit and soul before exploring her body. His great sense of humor shines thru along with his integrity & good character but occasionally his wild side surfaces! :-) He MUST be CLEAN, considerate of others, DRUG FREE, a LIGHT social or non-drinker, must have decent teeth, :-) and absolutely must be a knee weakening kisser! :-) Whew, he must be alot of things, huh? Of course.... as I like myself :-) and MUCH prefer my own company to that of the wrong man. I'm a giver so he must be secure enough in himself to respect my need for time alone to recharge and I'll respect his. I'm not "high maintenance", not materialistic and don't want a clinging vine. I admire a man who has healthy interests of his own so that he feels fulfilled in life and neither of us feels suffocated. I'm NOT seeking perfection, I'm seeking quality... I find it very appealing and sexy in a man. Why would anyone want less?

Because I desire only to enhance rather than fix a man's life, he MUST be free from the CHAOS of addictions and past relationships. Anyone else just plain tired of the chaos out there?? I'm not equipped nor do I intend to waste time dealing with it, it is an instantly HUGE turn off! I'm looking for SPARKS generated from a healthy emotional and physical connection, NOT insanity. I want a partner NOT a project. I've seen firsthand the utter destruction addictions bring to relationships.... broken hearts, crushed spirits, and shattered lives .... if that's what you have to offer....gee, thanks but NO THANKS! I don't have nor do I want a complicated life. All I want is a PEACEFUL friendship/growing relationship with a good man that I can look up to. Is this really too much to ask for in this day and age? My faith tells me that it IS attainable! :-)

So... if you're involved with another woman or a booze/drug addiction PLEASE keep swimming as you're certainly unavailable. I desire to capture and then steal the heart of the worthy gentleMAN that IS emotionally & physically available. Actually, I won't have to steal his heart.... over time he'll grow to trust me and willingly give it up! :-) I SO WANT OFF this dating site! I'm not here to see how many "hits" I can get. My sole purpose here has been to find one gentleMAN to enjoy spending time with and date exclusively. If a strong connection develops perhaps there'll be a spark that will ignite the first flame of an everlasting huge, smoking, blazing red hot fire! :-)

The man I seek understands the importance of CONSISTENT and CARING communication. I find sporadic communication extremely frustrating and playing guessing games to be emotionally draining and unconducive to a growing romantic relationship. I have a life, my time is valuable and deserves to be respected. It's really not difficult....sometimes all it takes is a simple 2 or 3 minute conversation just to let each other know you're thinking about each other. If a man doesn't "get" this, and won't prioritize for this he's not for me. I'm quietly observing. I'll certainly "get" that he's not all that interested regardless of his words as his actions clearly do his speaking for him. I'll wish him well and move on. The man I'm interested in shows consideration and has no issue FOLLOWING THRU on his word. The way he lives his life speaks VOLUMES about him and inspires me to unleash my heart, become his best friend, confidante, and devoted lover. He'll be absolutely adored, appreciated and occasionally might even be made late for work! :-)

I overheard a few frogs here say that my profile is tooo lengthy. Yes, I was eavesdropping! :-)... and I so agree! :-) I don't particularly like drawn out profiles either but I've found it soooo necessary to clearly articulate what I'm looking for to hopefully minimize the many responses from little immature frogs who frequent the pond. Who I am won't appeal to them and they wouldn't appeal to me so hey... we both win! :-)

I'm confident...so I challenge you....I KNOW my own worth as a woman, a potential partner and lover...and ohhhh how I love to pamper and tease. :-) I love being a woman! I embrace my sensuality with the RIGHT gentleMAN....it's a delightful part of who I am but there's SO much more. Having said that, if you're just looking for fast and easy sex, good luck but keep your worm to yourself, LOL.

The man I'm waiting for is courageous enough to SHOW me why we're worthy of each other's company. He's EAGER as he reads this, DECISIVE and knows exactly who he is. His confidence won't EVEN let him hesitate to explore the possibilities. :-) He's feeling inspired, NOT AFRAID, NOT INTIMIDATED and he'll excitedly take a chance and accept the invitation into my life.... swim to shore, dry off and explore some adventure with a little mischief mixed in and for gosh sakes he won't have to sit around & think about it!!! He understand if we meet it is just that.... a meeting not a marriage! If there's no chemistry so what?? We both took a chance....gently just throw me back in the pond....I'll surely survive and maybe we have found an interesting new friend in each other! :-)

With a friendly smile, warm heart and open arms I'm patiently waiting for the right man's arrival... after all I'm ready to keep him warm and cozy this winter! :-)

For a first meeting I much prefer to keep it short and simple, no longer than about 2 hours so that neither of us feels any pressure. I like meeting in a public place such as a coffee shop for a tall glass of iced tea or other beverage.
