I lead a clean healthy lifestyle, avoid the club life and have never smoked. Since I've also managed to avoid doing prison time, I'm a pretty gentle soul. Won't call myself 'Laid Back', but I am free of negative drama since I manage to find humor, awe and enlightenment in most things. Not perfect, but I am very honest, genuinely caring, and looking for a mutually respectful relationship. Articulate, capable, feminine -but not a pushover. Enjoy reading, cooking (cerified foodie), and volunteering. Don't have the body of a 20-something, but i don't look like I was dragged 40 miles down a bad road either. Adventurous, I love the great outdoors, and enjoy making my home welcoming. I'm a novice belly dancer; power-walker. Interested in taking up golf. Looking for a penpal/friendship/serious relationship--in that order. I would really, like to find a movie buddy. Enjoy museums, flea markets, outdoor festivals, jazz/classical/r&b/oldies/and sometimes rap music. Historical tours, adventure travel, discovering out of the way places and day trips.

Men who can hold their own in a conversation appeal to me. Your occupation is unimportant, but I respect a thinking man who works hard and plays hard too. Fun; reliable; passionate and compassionate; have a generous spirit and genuinely caring side. If you feel as I do, that this time in our lives should be about us, time spent cramming in every possible adventure we can think of, then you might be my kind of guy.

On a very first date we could meet for coffee or tea and chat. If the meeting goes well we could head off to a museum, or down to the wharf to get seafood. You'll earn extra brownie points for imagination, so if you can put together an exciting first date after we've established our mutual interest, then I'll be delighted to accompany you.
