I am a caring friend, loyal and honest.
I am pretty comfortable in my own skin and enjoy connecting with people in the same position.
I am looking for close friendship, companionship, a mutually affectionate relationship, in which both parties are open to love and commitment growing if it feels right.

I am honest about what I think and feel and try not to leave people guessing where I stand.
I like to share experiences and value listening to others sharing theirs. I have a great sense of fun and love to laugh.
If you get to know me, be prepared to be gently teased by me on a regular basis. And hugged .... and cuddled ...... and kissed ....... I love caring physical contact (and the more passionate variety too, of course!)

I have simple interests and mostly enjoy just being with someone I like and who likes me. Movies at home, eating out and in, sharing stories over a glass of wine, good conversation, eclectic musical tastes, singing, beading and card making, walking by the river, flying kites with my kids.....

I currently "stay-at-home" with my kids, and am a librarian by profession. I am currently counting the days until my youngest two start kindergarten and have just started retraining in the field of medical administration, coding and billing. Not the most exciting job in the world, but there is so much more to life than work!

When I am not studying or "being Mom" one of the things I enjoy most is good conversation - the type of conversation that is interesting and thought-provoiking, amusing, sharing, spontaneous and engaging. The setting can be almost anywhere. I am low maintentence in that regard! Your couch or mine ... coffee shops ... over a glass of wine .... walking in the park or by the river .... in a boat .... over dinner.
I also love companionable silence, the comfort of knowing someone well enough that I can just "be" with them.

When I am alone, I love to listen to music, do crosswords, make glass bead jewelry and handcrafted cards
For those for whom body type is important, I am definatly on the cuddly end of the spectrum. If that is more important to you than my passion and personality, then you are not the right guy for me!

So that's a highly abridged version of me! What about you??

I am looking for a man around my age, or older. I appreciate the maturity and experience of men in the 40-50 age bracket. I am looking for an independant man, who understands the rewards of inter-depedancy in a relationship. Most of all, please be fun-loving, humorous, confident and loving!!

As a previous lover said to me when I told him I was ready to start dating again, "Tell him from me he's in for one hell of a ride!"

My favorite first date is to go for coffee at one of the great independant coffee houses here in Louisville.
