I COULD JUST BE YOUR NEXT "DOLL"........... And, sometimes when "mining for diamonds" you only need to "scratch the surface" to expose the "brilliance" of a true "GEM".....
The divorce is final ...that being said ........What do men want REALLY???? I'd like to know.....and I'd like to make a statement that I hope won't be misconstrued as "anger". It's not!!! Actually, I find it quite humorous at times. I have been on this site for quite some time....here for about 7 months and over a year in Michigan. And while I've met some nice men, it never ceases to amaze me how you read profiles that say they want something...it's right there for them, and still "nothing". I am a BBW...perhaps that's the problem with some of you guys. You only look at the "physical". I'm an attractive lady, dress well and believe in good hygiene. I'm probably one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. Warm, sincere, romantic, articulate, fun....all that great stuff and more. I guess what actually makes me laugh at times is some of the men....what they say they're looking for and what they really want. I can assure you I'm not looking for perfection and don't expect someone with that criteria. If that's what you want it's probably best that you DON'T contact me. However, let's be real...we're aging.....QUICKLY...LOL. And while we can do some things to slow down that process the bottom line is........we're getting older. I don't know about you, but I'd like to think that I could meet someone that wants a true, real relationship..not just the "fluff". A relationship built on friendship, communication, passion and lots of hugs and kisses. Someone that will be there for me as I intend to be there for them.........good and bad, baggage or not. Let's be honest...if we're on here at this age, we've either been in relationships, married and divorced or widowed. So we carry with us "years"...."experience"....yada yada. I think alot of people live in "denial"....and "fantasy land". I just want something "real". I can assure you, I'm like a good novel....keep turning the page and discover. Anyway, I'm sure eventually someone will "show up"...God has a plan. It would also be nice for men to actually make those "moves" from time to time too....make that first contact.

Well I guess that's it for my "soapbox"......LOL....On with the profile.....
I'm a BBW....with a "big beautiful" heart to match. Looking for someone that wants to take the time to learn about me...and I him. Someone that really sees "ME".........not just the "window dressing". I consider myself to be attractive...but there's so much more to a person than just what you see...so much more to discover. I'm articulate, funny passionate and very sensuous with the right man. I love being playful and "flirty" and even have that side to me (sometimes). I believe that in any good relationship, intimacy is just a "given". However, it's amazing to me that even with the threat of AIDS and other things out there, how the expectation is that of having sex the first time you meet. I sometimes wonder what happened to becoming friends.....which to me is the cornerstone of any great relationship. As much as I enjoy intimacy the bottom line is, we're all getting older!!!! And what do you have when sex isn't the "answer" when you can't "perform" the same anymore???? I'm far from a "prude" and not trying to "preach"... I just know what I want and it's NOT a relationship just based on sex. I want someone that is passionate, loving, tender and warm and a "romance-aholic"....like me,...that has similiar beliefs. I enjoy looking into someone's eyes and momentarily "losing" myself there. Yeah, yeah.......corny I know. But I really do believe that whole "eyes being the window to the soul". You can tell alot about someone by looking into their eyes.......and of course, in a KISS!!!! You definitely need to love to kiss and be good at it!!!!

I'd like to meet someone that at least has a "spiritual walk" and knows where their blessings come from. I count my blessings every day....God is good!!! I'm very much a talker and "people person". I love life, love people and love to laugh....ALOT!! Each day is a "gift" and we should celebrate it that way.....as if it were our last. And we should be thankful for whatever we have...great or small.

My interests are varied...comfortable in jeans or dressed up. Love the theater, movies, intimate conversation over a glass of wine or just a cup of tea. I love the smell of the air after it rains...rainbows, butterflies, and that whole "gazing at the stars" and "walking along the beach at sunrise or sunset" scenario. I love the water and just about anything in "God's majesty"....Not really Ms. Michigan Outdoors or big on the whole "camping" thing...but I'm flexible (just give me at least a camper... although my preference is a hotel with a bed and pool)........lol Hot tub anyone?...I love a good massage too.......

I'm pretty flexible and easy-going. I cherish friendship and family. I'm very much a "touch-feely" person.....love hugs, kisses and anything that "smacks" of romance, i.e., dancing slow and close, candles, flowers, cards "just because"...you name it. Yes, I'm a "sucker" for romance!!!! Did I mention hugs and kisses?...... I'm not afraid to be openly affectionate and would prefer someone that is like that as well....someone warm and romantic. Did I say hugs and kisses?.........I could say lots more...but what would be left to talk about???? I believe in saying "I love you" often...I'm not afraid to show how much I care. Are you? So you've got to ask yourself if you want to have an honest to goodness relationship or just "sex". If you want love, intimacy and passion, I could just be your girl. If you're looking for a "fluff and fold".......guess you may as well move down the road to find "Barbie". I can assure you, there's nothing "plastic" or "superficial here....and did I say I LOVE hugs and kisses???

Well, it depends if you're talking first meeting or actual "date". The first "meeting" I think, should be kind of casual. Coffee...a drink... and lots of conversation and laughing, getting to know each other and see where it leads. If you "hit it off" you can plan the next time you see each other and let the "dating begin". That first real "date"..... anything that is mutually agreeable. However, it should provide an opportunity to see how you interact with each other, experiment with that all important "spark" or "chemistry"...a kiss or two after a wonderful evening enjoying each other's company. Leaving you planning the next time....and the next...and..............
