I have been a widow for nearly 15 years. I have many wonderful friends, and sometimes a man in my life. But that perfect match has somehow eluded me. One could argue that there is no perfect match but we can be optimistic here. I would like to find a man who is kind, generous, spontaneous, sees humor in everyday situations. Someone who has his own interests as well as sharing mine. I love to look up and catch his eye, or receive a gentle touch - and know that our thoughts and feelings are mutual. I would like a man to take our relationship seriously but also have a little devil in him. Someone who will keep me off guard. Someone who will make me laugh.

I am short, thin, been told that I am attractive, and it is a goal of mine to keep myself in shape. I eat what is good for me most of the time, but that doesn't stop me from going out and enjoying a good meal. I am young in appearance and young at heart with a high energy level and would like a man with the same - of course, he doesn't have to be short - LOL.

I enjoy all the things Florida has to offer - the restaurants, theater, Gulf of Mexico, shopping, museums. There is still much I haven't experienced but would love to find someone who would like to share them with me.

What else can I tell you about me? I'm an avid reader - always reading a book and listening to one in the car. I have dogs. You know the old saying, love me, love my dogs.

A quiet meeting somewhere with conversation. If that goes well, then maybe dinner. Keep it simple until we feel comfortable with each other.
