I know I've written a lot but I'll know if you don't bother to read it! I don't like meeting a guy without getting to know him a bit thru emails, IM or talking on the phone. I am looking for something long term but in the meantime just want to keep things light, I really miss doing the 'couple things' like going out to dinner, dancing, seeing a movie, or having a drink together.

If you want to develop a relationship with me, I'm not one of your beer-drinkin' buddies, I am A FEMALE! (*You can find more detailed information on the differences between the sexes online, at www.GET-A-CLUE.com). I'm not your ex-wife and I don't need anything from a guy except fun, love, passion and friendship. I still believe in romance, flowers, gifts, being kind, polite, and considerate.

I like a guy who cares about the way he looks, and has a healthy lifestyle, as in working out, playing sports, etc. Need a decisive, assertive guy to keep me grounded, stop asking me to make all the decisions! Sounds obvious but a lot of guys don't like hearing that a woman needs to feel secure in a relationship- don't worry, I won't s/Mother you but show me you're committed to something real. I'm looking for a meaningful relationship, short or long term, NOT A NIGHT OF SEX WITH A STRANGER. Please stop reading now if you're only looking for sex!!!!

I'm creative with a lot of different interests, so I need intellectual stimulation, culture, current events, a creative outlet, can't just sit around and I tend to get bored with routine. I've run a business for 20 years and am ready to make a transition from career to home and family. I have a great sense of humour and love to laugh. I like to play practical jokes and tickle you 'til you cry so take it like a man!

Would love to find someone who'd ride with me: sportbikes, horses, mountain bikes, quads, snowmobiles, rollercoasters, fast cars, a tube down a hill in the snow! I feel young, look young, and have a wild side but I do know when to take things seriously, and I'm looking for the same. I'm a sweet girl generally, like helping people, believe in respect and manners, so I tend to run from obnoxious, rude men!

I like lots of romance and passion, open affection, silly kisses, holding hands, gifts, love notes, flowers - I exercise and watch my diet but I do love chocolate and if you have a problem with that I'll just eat more to spite you!

Won't tolerate cruelty to animals or people, racism, drug use, or lack of integrety or honesty. If you think I'll accept these things later after I get to know and like you you're wasting our time. Don't like a negative attitude, it saps my strength. Would like a positive, optomistic partner. I don't like to be taken for granted or patronized. I'm not naive or stupid, so even if you think you're playing me I'll probably already have you pegged even if I don't say anything right away, lol. I am looking for a partner in life. If your friends, hobbies and job always come before me or our time together, we won't work.

Love to dance, socialize, watch movies, play sports, and anything romantic! I do a lot of volunteer work and am quite passionate about the causes I support. I'm independant and will do my own thing, but most of the time I'm happier doing things with my guy by my side.

I am looking to relocate and am deciding where I'd like to live, either alberta, bc, or the north west states. I am starting a new life and can really begin again anywhere. When I say I enjoy travel, that also means traveling to new places to meet a guy, but if you want me to come to you, then I'll expect you to pay half the plane ticket!

I just read something in another profile I really liked: 'don't tell me what you believe, you'll show me in your words and actions', I think that's the best way to put it. I don't belong to a specific denomination or go to a particular church, but I do believe in God/family/career.

I think a man is at his strongest when he admits his weaknesses. I like to take care of my man, but expect there will be a mutual exchange of respect and caring. I do have my limits though, I lose patience quickly with pushy people and liars, and won't have a problem letting you know if you start crossing some boundaries! Chauvinists don't waste my time!

*I wish I could reply to all mail, sorry if I don't. I rarely reply if you have no picture, or one that looks like you're in the witness protection program, I want to know who I'm talking to. If you're in the alberta area it's better if you email me on my local profile under cbr6000.

Drinks at a quite lounge, coffee, boat ride, going to the zoo, looking at flowers at the botanical gardens, anything quiet but fun in public so we can talk and get to know each other without the ackwardness of being totally by ourselves.
