How can one describe themself in a tiny box so that it sparks an interest without appearing self centered and all about them? This isn't an easy task, but here it goes.... I am a christian woman who has extreme respect for herself and other's. I find it sad that our society has become so cold and disheartened that we have all forgotten how to treat one another. Even though I've been burned, I truly try NOT to take that out on others. It isn't fair to them, nor to me.

I would like to find someone who is as old fashioned as me (I guess that's the best way to describe me). I believe it is important to take things slow and get to know one another. There is more to me than what you see and I know there's more to you! Although I enjoy playful banter with the best and I'm very witty, I am looking for someone who can spark my intellect as well. If you're shy, simply favorite me and I'll write you back.

I'm attracted to white, average to large men with well groomed gotees that smell good and know how to dress Sunday morning for church or for a night on the town. The rest of the time he's in jeans or shorts (he still smells great.. I have a cologne/perfume fetish. I love to smell good and look for that in my partner). I prefer a gentleman that is atleast 5'9 because I wear heels often and I'd rather not be looking down at him. Muscles are ok, but I prefer something soft when cuddling, not a rock.

I do have to be honest and say that I help care for my elderly parents. They devoted their lives to raising me, now it's my turn to care for them. I do not live with them, but I am visting quite often to help. Considering that I'm trying to maintain two households, juggle their doctor appts and have a demanding job, it is very important to me that someone be understanding of my responsibilities. Someone that would offer to cut my grass or help with my pool would be a dream come true! (just kidding...LOL)

Don't let my Christianity fool you. I'm not uptight or stuffy. I'm rather playful and fun. I don't believe in sleeping in many beds, if you know what I mean. I pick a single bed and that's the only bed for me! With all this being said.....If you are looking for someone that is comfortable camping in a tent in the woods or dressed in an evening gown. Or if you want someone who loves to laugh and tries to make you laugh, someone to keep you on your toes, someone that is outspoken at times, but has a heart the size of Texas...Your search is over!

I am not looking for someone to complete me..... I want someone who compliments me.

Could that be you?

P.S. Photography is a passion of mine that I would hope to share with someone.

I love first dates and first kisses! Those are moments that stay with you throughout the relationship. I love how your heart races and the anticipation builds. The best part is at the end of the night when he walks you to the door. You can feel the tension between the two of you as you long for that first kiss. Then he leans in and whispers "may I kiss you?". You say yes and as you prepare for a good long passionate kiss, he simply kisses your forehead and cheek and walks away with a promise to call tomorrow. When he calls, you both laugh about the intentions. Maybe this wasn't the intention of the question, but I just had to share!

An ideal first date for me would be somewhere public, yet private... romantic, yet fun. I want us to be able to talk and get to know one another without the distractions. But I also want to feel safe and know there are witnesses so that you don't murder me! (just kidding.... or am I?)
