I'm 46 years old and a mother of two amazing teenage girls. I know what long term commitment means. I was married for 20 years. Never thought I'd be doing the dating scene again, but here I am. I have a busy life so this is a convenient way for me to hopefully find someone who has the same qualities and zest for life as I do. I am looking for my soul mate...a friend, partner and lover. I hope to maybe some day find the one I want to grow old with. I'm looking for someone who wants to be with me and wants to explore life's experiences. I hope to do a little more traveling now that my girls are older. I'm a very optimistic person. I love the sun and the beach so any carribean island is good for me. I'm a sociable person. I love to laugh and always have a smile on my face. I'm looking for someone who is settled and knows what he wants in life and is not afraid to show his feelings. Someone who can make me laugh and knows how to have fun, yet also knows how to be responsible and serious when warranted. Communication is very important in a relationship so I'm looking for someone who is open and honest. I'm a true romantic and looking for someone who is affectionate, caring and giving and not afraid to commit to one person.

I am currently single and waiting for the right one to come along.

I think the first date is a special time to get to know one another so I prefer a nice quiet place for dinner or drinks. It's really not the place that matters but the company you're with.
