Hi there~
I know you are out there somewhere... so here is what I am searching for:
I am looking for a man that is optimistic and confident in his life. Someone that IS looking and READY to build a relationship that will last. (ok...we CAN start out as friends and work towards this - I am a realist). You look forward to taking on the challenges of the day. Ready to move past the past and your baggage is packed and put away.
You see the glass half-full, find fulfillment through your family, career, hobbies and other interests. You have a sense of humor and you are able to not take things too seriously. You are not afraid to stand up for your opinions, but don't always feel the need to do so. You are not an obnoxious know it all - but are well read and full of modesty. You are comfortable together and apart - TRUST being a key factor in a healthy relationship. You are able to communicate without frustration or embarrassment. Don't have a hidden agenda and don't play games with others' emotions. I am NOT into just dating or being an activity partner - I would like to find a man that wants to share life's little ups and downs and wade our way through together.

You have some similar interest to those I have, ( hiking, fly- fishing, music, concerts, movies, cooking, travel ) Also have interests of your own as well as want to build some interests of our own. Must love dogs! Sitting on the couch and watching football on Sunday is good too! You like to take road trips planned or spur of the moment. Or just snuggling at the beach listening to the waves.

I am a genuine person, what you see IS what you get. Not a plastic type woman that needs to be phony to gain the interests of men. I am honest and always there for my friends and family. Responsible, romantic, loving, caring, and well educated. I am an independent woman - but desire a man in my life that is the "protector" type. Someone that is in my corner for me and I am always there for him in any situation. I miss the little things in a relationship - the things so many people take for granted.

I hope that I have described some wonderful man out there. :) I have a GREAT sense of humor and a wicked laugh. If any of this has struck a chord with you - drop me a line...would love to chat. Good luck in your search if not.

The first meeting doesn't really count as a date...or does it??? - isn't it a check you out to see if there is any chemistry meeting? Ok - so maybe coffee or a drink and get to know each other's rest of the story...
