I am very sociable and love to go out, dining, dancing, concerts, etc. I also like to enertain my family and friends in my home and I also enjoy quiet times alone at home with a special person. However, I am looking for a long term relationship with a man between 45-55 years old and at least 5'10" to 6'4" tall. Smart with a good sense of humor is also a huge plus. Someone who knows how to dress and won't show up at the first meeting in work jeans and flip flops. This really won't work for me. I love to dress up and love it when my friends say I am a 'girly girl', although I am comfortable in casual jeans, too - not on the first date! Please be financially and emtionally secure and please have a picture if you would like a response. Please be gegraphically appropriate. I think more than 50 miles or so away is probably not going to work. I am not looking for pen pals, I want someone around her to do things with. All sorts of things....but in the structure of a RELATIONSHIP.

A believe good first date would be a casual meeting for coffee or a glass of wine, or meeting up at a public event, where there is no pressure but where we can talk a bit and determine if there is any chemistry between us. I believe that one can generally tell this pretty quickly. If we both agree that there is some level of chemistry, we can decide what to do next.
