Easy going, open minded and somewhat normal ... if there is such a thing. Too old to play games and honestly, simply don't have the energy these days. I do wonder about those of you who ask for "no baggage" though ... as how does someone get to be any age past the age of 21 and not have baggage? Would you really want to meet a women in her 40's who had no baggage? What are past experiences, kids, relationships, lessons, jobs, education, hurts, heart breaks ... if not baggage? AND ... is not the baggage we carry what makes us who we are? Also, what about drama? Life is full of drama ... for those of you who are looking for NO drama ... go live a fictitious life ... as any "real" life has drama ... AND you should understand ... drama is not the culprit ... it's how the "person" deals with "said" drama that is the wrong or the right of the situation ... we all have "crap" in our lives ... it's how we choose to deal with it that makes us positive or negative.

Would like to perhaps meet someone that also rides and enjoys some of the same things I do. Shouldn't be that hard, right? Then again ...

I enjoy the simple things in life however, understand the importance of trying new things and doing things differently every now and then.

I work a lot of hours and don't always have a lot of time ... as I believe a lot of us don't. The evenings and weekends are when I typically find myself with down time ... however, it's important to understand ... and I DO understand ... that if you are going to make a relationship work, or try to create a relationship ... build a relationship ... you have to make time. Making time may mean moving around priorities ... we should both be willing to do that. If you aren't ... well, then I think that says all that needs to be said, right?

Honestly? I simply miss having that person to call during the day and tell them about something funny or stupid or irritating that just happened. I miss having that beer at happy hour or that glass of wine while cooking something for dinner. I miss the laughter and the connection. I miss having someone in my corner and I miss being on someone's side ... I think everyone should have those things. I'm sweet by nature, tolerant most of the time ... however, I'm sarcastic and dry and honestly, will tend to remain so until I feel "safe" around you ... someone once told me it's a defense mechanism ... perhaps he was right?

I have found that a lot of people are on this site for different reasons than they profess. I wonder why they want to waste their time or someone else's? Who knows ... perhaps they don't know.

Instead of telling you all that I'm looking for ... perhaps it would be easier to let you know what I'm NOT looking for:

1. If you are going to send me a picture of your "stuff" ... the answer is no.
2. if you are going to ask me for a picture of my "stuff" ... the answer is no.
3. If you have a glamor shot ... uh uh ... no.
4. If you are going to start your email with "babe" "chick" or "girl" ... no.
5. If you are going to say something like "hit me up sometime" ... no.
6. If you are going to ask me for a ride on my bike ... no.
7. If you are going to ask me if I am into open relationships with no strings attached ... no.
8. If you are only sending a "drive by email" never to be heard from again ... no.
9. If you are looking for the perfect women ... no ... but good luck to you in your search.
10. If you are crazy ... crazy to the point of professing your undying love and devotion within the second email ... please ... no!

I think the most important thing is honesty. Honesty with yourself and with others and simply the fact that you are willing to take that chance ... if you won't take the chance? Why are you here?

Ok ... that's all for now.

Good luck in your search however ... truly, keep it real. Life is too short for anything less.

I have no idea ... perhaps these things are different in Texas? Perhaps meet for a drink and take it from there?
