First of all I want to address my status. I have been separated for 3+ yrs with absolutely no contact for more than 2 1/2 years. A divorce is imminent.

I am a kind, caring, romantic, an awesome kisser, sensuous and a snuggle bunny. I've been told that I don't look my age nor do I act it. Actually, I'm not sure how one is supposed to act at any age, so I just try to be myself. A touch-feely kind of person. I am considerate of others and always careful not to hurt another's feelings. I have the same emotional baggage most people my age have but I don't let it run my life and don't want to meet someone who lives in their past. I have a positive attitude, most of the time. So, if you don't keep a positive attitude, please keep looking. I am as comfortable in jeans as I am all dressed up for a night on the town. I like the simpler things in life. I enjoy photography, kissing and ball room dancing. Even though I am not the best dancer, I enjoy watching others and dancing whenever I get the opportunity. I like to laugh and to love.

There is lots more to tell and I will be glad to if you are interested.

My Dream mate will be a *Christian* and make me a Priority, not an Option. He's LOCAL... LOCAL... LOCAL (Sarasota or Manatee County), CLOSE TO MY AGE, Emotionally Available, Unpretentious, Non-Political or Politically Conservative, a Man's Man, a Gentleman with a little bit of bad boy mixed in for balance. Some tats and pierced ears are ok but I don't want him to be covered in either one. He would be Slightly Mischievous like me, mild-mannered, Compassionate, Nurturing, Loving, Attentive and more Passively natured than Argumentative. He would be mildly Possessive but without being Jealous, rather Calm, Laid-back, and maybe a bit more Extroverted than Introverted. I'm usually attracted to tall Men, who are built a bit more for comfort ... although I do find muscles difficult to resist and they could persuade me to reconsider the "Local" requirement ... however height and weight are definitely not issues for me, compatibility is!!! Oh, and did I mention... I won't travel far and I don't want to either???

I will tell you up front that my pic is not current...it is 3 yrs old. I look very much the same except my hair is longer. Please also have a picture when you contact me.

I like to meet in a neutral place....someplace that is rather quiet and conducive to conversation. I think meeting for lunch or dinner the first time is too stressful; Possibly the coffee shop at the local Barnes & Nobles or a small restaurant for coffee only; if you would like, you can contact me on messenger...anniemarymax
