I am a 62 year old widow of German descent, 5,4", blond, gray eyes, slender, attractive, retired, well traveled, easygoing, compassionate, kind, just sold my house and bought a condo, no children, no complex vicissitudes, a throwback to an earlier generation, looking for that perfect classy, distinguished looking gentleman, monogamous, who opens the door for me, is the first to call, and initiates advancing the relationship. - For love is not a panacea or free for all. It is not the place where we can just hang out and get ours. Love is a very high undertaking, an energetic enterprise. After the moonlight comes the major transformation; after the roses comes the hard work. When you ask for love you are asking to be extended in every dimension of your being, to transcend personal, social, cultural, and even gender boundaries, rules and definitions. You are called upon to discover, through what love asks of you, the things that are deepest in yourself, the things that will remain true in time beyond time. Love is a state of being, a feeling in the heart, but to generate that same feeling in the heart of another human being is a process of relationship. Could it be you and me shaping the quality of a long term relationship leading to more? - Your courage gives me hope, your honesty gives me faith, your gentleness gives me comfort, your energy gets me going.

Carpe Diem. Today seize the moment and invite the unexpected to happen over a glass of wine. Of course I have little insecurity monsters nibbling at me. What happens if we do? What happens if we don,t? To meet each other to discuss openly what we are afraid
of. To shower each other with the reassurance we need. To say the beautiful magical words, for the moment passes like the river is gone. - So stop reading this and give me a message right this very minute! - Thank you for coming into my life.
