I am 42, intelligent and retired, lonely and sometimes shy. I enjoy reading, hiking, movies, horseback riding, video and computer games, walking, riding around and much more. I am not into sports, but don't mind sitting with someone while they watch them. Who knows, maybe if I learn more about sports I can come to like them, but meanwhile I can always find a way to entertain myself. I really enjoy aquariums. I love to cook.

I am ready for someone special in my life.

I am looking for someone who is sensible, faithful and fun. I don't care what you look like. As long as you can take my silly humor, it is fine with me. Don't care if you have kids. It's a plus. Don't care if you smoke, burp or whatever.
I do care if you do drugs, or drink alot. That isn't what I am looking for.

I have a good sense of humor and lots of patience. I don't have kids, but I love them. You can often find me at my friend's house playing with the kids. I don't have my own, but love them all.

I am not the jealous or smothering kind. I believe in giving my partner his space when he needs it. Since I am retired, I can work around his schedule. I don't do one night stands. I don't play head games or lie. It isn't worth my time.

I am not materialistic. Don't think diamonds or gold are going to win me over. They are pretty, but I don't need them. I prefer the little things like the flower picked along the road or a cup of coffee when I am trying to wake up. A simple touch or long hug means more to me then all the diamonds in the world. I make and sell my own jewelry and enjoy it very much.

I have heard that most women in their 40's don't enjoy the physical or intimate part of a relationship. Me? I love it.

Want to know more? Just ask.

No reason to rush things. Let's talk by phone or email and get to know each other.

For a first date, I would love to meet somewhere, have a cup of coffee, and just talk and get to know each other. I don't believe dates require money. Taking walks, sitting and talking or going for a drive is fine with me.
