Hello and thanks for taking the time to read my profile.

I am an open-minded, compassionate and intelligent woman. My friends would describe me as a woman of honesty, integrity and a quick witted spirit who can make anyone laugh. I love to be active and live a very healthy lifestyle. I work out regularly, enjoy swimming, long walks and being out in nature - the mountains being my ultimate place of serenity. I work with children and I absolutely love my job. The smiles I see and help create during my day tell me I'm doing just what I'm supposed to be doing. I am very independent and am not searching for someone to MAKE me happy, but rather I am searching for someone who can add to the happiness that already exists within my life. I have very strong morals and values and would look for the same in a partner.

My ideal partner: A mature man (doesn't mean age) who takes care of himself emotionally, physically, spiritually, and knows what he wants in life. He is ambitious, non-judgemental, compassionate and has outgrown the bar scene. I have never married, nor do I have children and would look for the same in my partner. I consider myself a young 37 and am looking to meet someone between 30-39. (Please, if you are separated or very recently out of a relationship, I'm not interested. I'm not interested in being a rebound girl nor do I want to be your therapist. Same goes for smokers...who wants to kiss a walking ashtray??? Gross!)

My ideal relationship: To accept each other for whom we are and seek to grow together. Enjoy each moment we have and share our hearts with each other. Respect that we both have separate lives, yet to make each other feel important and cared for. A relationship of spontaneity, lots of laughs and smiles, full of trust, loyalty, open communication and romance.

If any of this has sparked your interest, feel free to send me a note. If not, thank you for taking the time to read and good luck in your search.

PS...you get bonus points for no spelling mistakes, and if your profile picture contains an image of you without a shirt on, don't bother...

Probably the usual...meet for coffee at Starbucks or Second Cup to make the first meeting a safe and comfortable experience for both. If we hit it off, great; if not, well, nothing lost other than 4 bucks for a coffee!
