User name change was necessary for reasons I'll keep to myself - still the same gal!

I am an independent normal gal (feminine but not fluffy) simply looking for a normal guy who is mature, physically healthy, emotionally stable and has a positive outlook on life. I am looking for someone to share in my life, not change it.

Very much a romantic and if the attraction is there, the rest should come naturally. We will figure it out for ourselves. I make no promises and expect none in return. We begin as friends.

I live in a country setting by choice though I do like to visit the larger towns and cities for the many activities they have to offer - was born and raised in Nepean/Ottawa.

I do have a preference for TALL men (I like to wear heels) just as you might have a preference for tall, sexy, brunette, nice legs, non smoker, etc. Not interested in endless "viewing" or endless emailing unless distance is a factor. Prefer to meet and see if there is mutual attraction.

Please provide a recent photo, in fact, I insist. There is a way on this site to foward a photo in a message that only the receiver sees. Appearance is naturally part of the initial attraction.

Speak kind words, hear kind echoes.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

You have to be a friend to have a friend.

Sincerity only, please. It is equally hard to express non interest as it is to receive it. If you are here to play games or are a serial dater - I am not interested. If age and distance are issues for you, just place these restrictions on your profile.

Something mutually agreed upon. If no MUTUAL attaction, we part as friends.
