I'm a regular girl. I like a lot of things, some of which are ordinary (watching a movie) and some are specific (architecture and politics). Certainly not the argumentation of politics but rather the process which I find full of intrigue, complexity and debauchery. I have a real good life for which I am thankful. I have two grown kids whom I love. I have two adorable Grandkids who I also love a ton. I am politically Conservative and would want my partner to follow suit. It's just easier. I am physically fit and would prefer my partner to be of similar persuasion. It's just fun that way. I like to laugh, to have fun, to even be silly at times. Life is just not that serious. However, I can be dead serious when the situation demands just that. I'm a one guy girl and don't enjoy serial dating. I'd love to meet a great friend with whom I can develop a language that only we share along with inside jokes and prompts. I know that from there a great twosome can evolve. I re-read Cavafy's poem "Ithaca" a lot and consider it to be my map in life. If you read it too, you'll get an insight into who I really really am. I'm a person who has learned a lot of life's lessons, been challenged by life's speed bumps and has emerged an Unsinkable Molly Brown with a joie de vivre.

First dates could be nerve racking. My philosophy.....so many good people are out there. If not a match, you've most likely met a nice person. Firsts should be comfortable to both!
