I am an educated, intelligent, fun-loving, sweet, attractive woman looking for someone with common interests and goals. I am interested in a long term relationship with the man of my dreams. I have been focused for a long time on my work and find myself in a transitional place thinking about retirement and/or going into another field. Being in education has been rewarding for me, but now I would like to take more time to think about myself and a significant other - whoever that may be.
(Maybe it's you!) I have family nearby, but have no children of my own. I would like to find a nice man who likes to do things with a partner. Some of the things I enjoy are fine dining, traveling, being near the water, reading, movies, arts, music, and relaxing at home. I have moved around some in the past, but I am a southern girl with a southern accent. I like to be treated like a woman, not like one of the guys. I am stylish in my dress, but I can feel comfortable in jeans and flip flops. I am pretty independent, but I would like to have a partner to share in life's ups and downs. I am not interested in guys who are "sport fishing". Read ACT LIKE A LADY, THINK LIKE A MAN, if you want to hear more about that. I would like to meet an intelligent, appealing, thoughtful, considerate, and fun-loving man who is interested in finding his soul mate.

On a first date, we could meet for a drink and appetizers at a nice spot like Water's Edge on Shem Creek. If we enjoyed that, we could continue on into dinner.
