There are plenty of fish, it's true, but what kind of fish are you and what kind of fish are you looking for? Dating is the most daunting of feats and I've found there is no science in it. It's all art. Unfortunately, it seems to be art in the abstract form....smiles.

About me. I'm 48 SWF BBW. I live in the suburbs of KC, own a home, work FT and I'm searching. I'm a simple woman in that I don't require a lot to be happy. Definitely not high maintenance in the money department, but I also don't want to maintain anyone else's life. Yes, sometimes I pick up the check, yes, sometimes I might send you flowers, and yes sometimes I'll carry in the groceries. I'll do it because I want to. I'll do it because I think you are special and you make my heart sing.

I am definitely an indoor girl and won't pretend that I want to be your camping or fishing buddy. I probably won't watch the football game with you but happy to wish you good luck for your team, as I'm sure I'll have other things I could be, or need to be doing. I do smoke and think everyday about stopping, but for today I do. I don't do any drugs but I am a child of the 70's so I am liberal minded, just don't choose to for myself. I very rarely drink but don't care if you do if it's in moderation. No excesses please.

I am looking for a man who seriously has time to date and is seeking more than FWB. That's not to say that you would find it with me; you might or you might not. Are you smart, sweet and sexy? Are you curious about the world around you? Do you want a woman who will challenge you intellectually, and personally? I am searching for a man who remembers what it's like to be "the man". One who is not afraid of good manners, and remembers that dating is an art. He is willing to paint a picture from his mind....maybe not knowing what it is when he begins, but enjoying it throughout the entire process.

Do you want a woman who is compassionate, affectionate, smart and who still believes in the "art" of relationships? Do you want to laugh; think; hope and believe? Then what are you waiting for?

Quiet dinner and inquisitive conversation.
