To get a few basics out of the way – I am sane, intelligent (I have an IQ of 140 if such things matter to you), I am right brained, not into head games or dramas. Also, after seeing a lot of couples' interactions, two things I will never do are NAG or ARGUE, they are not productive, cause resentment - I won’t participate in either and won't put up with them. I don’t believe in going to bed angry, I’d much rather talk about it, then kiss and REALLY make up. I don't drink or smoke and would not be interested in a smoker or someone who drank a lot. Social drinking is fine, drugs are not.

Have I mentioned yet that I know what I do and do not want in life as well as in a relationship and am not afraid to say it?

To describe me: I am a very nice, kind, generous, trusting and trusworthy, courteous, expressive, well mannered and respectful lady who believes that passion, love and romance from BOTH partners is important. I enjoy having fun (who doesn’t?), going out dancing, to movies, live theatre, star gazing and am told that I have a killer sense of humour.

I am very traditional and am looking for a person who likes that in a woman. To me, being traditional means supporting your partner in any way that they need, letting him be a man and him letting me be a woman and a lady first and foremost. I believe in a relationship that is built on trust, honour, respect, integrity and love. Not just saying it, but believing it and living it. Giving the person that you love what they need in a relationship and putting their wants and needs before yours as they will do so for you, not because they have to, but because they want to. I believe in the 4 "C's - caring, courteousness, commitment and (open) communication. I know there are more really good "C" words out there, but these rank high with me.

To be brutally honest, I am a BBW, not a huge one, but still, am on the large size. I have spent the last year losing weight, eating healthy but sports are not my thing. They’ve never liked me for some reason. In my opinion it is because I am a klutz and am very uncoordinated and THEY KNOW IT. However, if you like sports, either participating in them or watching them, I don’t mind and I make a heck of a cheerleader and would even come and watch you play/participate. I’d rather head to the gym and work out there; having said that, I don’t currently have a gym membership but plan to get one in the fall. By Christmas the plan is to being classified as “a few extra pounds/curvy” and I’ll be happy with that but if it takes me until spring, that’s okay too as I’m a work in progress. I am built on the curvy side (wide hips, big bust) and am large boned so will never be classified as less than that.

I am looking to advance in my field of administration, possibly take some more college courses if possible, perhaps getting my PMP designation. I am ambitious and not content to be where I am at. I am looking into the future both personally and professionally and would like to improve myself in both areas. I want to take several classes in the near future, singing, dancing, and cooking to name a few.

I love most types of music - as long as it has a good beat, and I'm in the mood, I'll dance to it. I want to take belly dancing (but would only demonstrate for my other half), ball room dancing - hope you are interested in either learning with me or teaching me and I so want to take Latin/salsa classes - it looks fun and sexy - to me that type of music gets your blood pounding and passion running through your veins - how could that be bad?

I love Canada's four seasons (ok, I know we really only have two: construction and the rest of the year), the great outdoors and heading up north either for the day, the weekend or for a vacation on a lake. I enjoy skidooing, seadooing, boating, swimming, horseback riding, making snow angels and indulging in a good, old fashioned snow ball fight :) Tobogganing isn’t out of the question either. Ok, so I like to revisit the good old days to the simple pleasures in life. Coming back into the house, warming up by snuggling on the couch in front of a fire, talking about our day, listening to some soft romantic music…

I like being fun and spontaneous. I am also very organized and love to plan - I know it is a contradiction but if I have something planned and then something fun comes up, the plan goes out the window for another time. Nothing better than to go for a drive for the day or the weekend and just explore small towns on the way to nowhere, visit flea or farmer’s markets, antique stores, used furniture stores – you never know what interesting thing you’ll find.

I like waking up on a weekend morning with my man to soft sunlight streaming into the room, a soft breeze blowing through an open window, crisp cotton sheets and being able to lean over and wake him with a soft but passionate kiss to start off a passionate yet relaxed morning. Spending a long romantic morning in bed, what can I say, on the weekend, I truly like my amaretto flavoured coffee, one cup or two will do me fine. Since that's him spoiling me, I'd definitely want to spoil him too.

Ok, I think it is time for me to shut up now and if anything that I’ve written resonates within you please contact me as I’d love to hear from you. I will answer all emails as I believe that is the right and courteous thing to do and if I’ve emailed you first, and you are not interested, that’s ok but please, afford me the same consideration that I would offer to others and let me know that you are not interested as I would do the same to anyone who took the time to contact me.

I would love to go for a nice quiet dinner where we could talk and get to know each other. Great food and good service where they wouldn't rush us out the door. Maybe share a desert together if we are interested in spending more time together. Afterwards, I'd love to go for a walk, preferably hand in hand, talk some more, window shop, star gaze if the night is right for it. Go for a walk on the boardwalk down by the lake. If the chemistry is right then a nice full body hug, and a lovely slow deep kiss would end the date perfectly provided we are both feeling the samechemistry between us.
