Like you, I am here to meet someone wonderful for me. I am not interested in dating. You will be successful and humble, like a challenge (I am not a challenge...), have passion and be respectful, love to learn, commincate well, and be strong and handsome (in my eyes). I long to develop a lasting relationship with someone in order that we could spend our lives discovering each other, creating an oasis from the world, nurturing our relationship, and conquering new horizons together while we laugh into the wind together. For me, this is what it takes to have a successful relationship. Yet, I am realistic and know that means meeting many people...still, I am impatient. If you message me, please share a little about you...life is busy, for you and I...too busy to volley and parry multiple short missives that say little and lead to less.

As to the demographics, a new, very recent picture is posted. Please show yourself if you would like a response from me. I believe that I am an attractive, honest, and communicative woman who is financially and emotionally secure. If you have been trying in vain to meet that someone special, we already have a great deal in common. It could be me you are looking for... What you see in this profile is what you get. My children are unquestionably important, but I am here to meet a partner, someone to share with, to travel with, to explore the mundane, the fabulous, and the challenging that life has to offer. I know that pictures are a sliver of time and can't possibly capture the essence of a person-either in you or in me. What I find attractive in a man has a lot to do with the person. Physical attractiveness is necessary, but so hard to define. Integrity, wisdom, strength, fortitude, and compassion are unbelievably sensual and endure long beyond youth and beauty. But I am drawn to strong, handsome, and successful men who enjoy a challenge and take pleasure in learning. Someone who knows that being healthy is all about balance, being fit, and enjoying life. It is all about chemistry for me - elusive, unforgetable, and essential. Like you, I will know it when I see it. For this reason, endless echats are not acceptable. PLEASE-no IM's - my goal is to meet, not to waste endless time e-chatting. Thanks for understanding.

Ideally, we would meet somewhere that would lend itself to conversation. I want to get to know you in comfortable style. A long, leisurely evening, perhaps involving food would be nice, but more important, a relaxed atmosphere - a piano bar, a walk along the canal, a boat ride through the locks - is the goal.
