I DO LOOK LIKE MY PICTURES!
I am a friendly, outgoing person. Love my family and a good friend to those that get to know me and want me as a friend. All my children are grown, but I enjoy children and I have 5 grandchildren,that I miss very much. They live on either coast and I am in the middle of the U.S. I enjoy life and think that these are the best years of my life. I don't like to always be rushing around doing things, but like to enjoy the things I do. I grew up on a farm and there's always time to stop and smell the roses. Love to laugh, and a smile is worth a thousand words. A family day, everyone being together, enjoying the good times is a lot of fun. But a quiet evening, or a lazy day with your someone special, laughing, cooking, talking, or just being together, is one of the best things there is. I like to read, watch movies, play pool, go fishing, spend time with friends and family, cookouts, entertaining, just enjoying life. Just because I didn't say I like doing something here, doesn't mean I don't like it. Maybe I haven't had the chance to do something, but would love to do it, if the chance ever came. I was a single Mom, raising my kids and putting them through college. My kids got all my time, that I didn't have to be at work. There are so many things I like to do, but doing them with someone else rather than alone, makes them more enjoyable. If it happened yesterday, I believe it should stay there. Life is too short for a couple to spend it fighting or arguing. I am a one man woman and I just want an honest man, that truly cares & wants to share things together.

I have found that many men on here are on here for the sex they can get. I am not looking for that. I am really looking for a long term relationship. One that the man wants a 50/50 relationship,no arguing or fighting, talking is so much better. Someone who wants to share their life with the other person, not a mine & yours relationship. Someone that will stand beside me, as I will with him. I still enjoy sex, but that's for the man who wants the full time relationship. I am a 58 yr old woman, not a young chick with the cute little body. I have also found, that the men I have met, are not anything like their profile, except one man, who was honest on his profile. I know that the men say the same thing about a woman. I will answer any questions honestly and if you meet me, I am what I say I am. I'm tired of the games, and too old to play them. That's why I am looking for a long term relationship.

~~ Beauty of a Woman ~~
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman
With time, only grows..

A first date would be to dinner, or for coffee or drinks and get to know the person. Taking a walk or just sitting and enjoying the evening in the relaxing, enjoyable company, of someone willing to spend time to see if there is something to take the relationship farther.


This is one of the most beautiful writings I have ever read



I was told that a Native American Elder,
who was inviting another
to stand with him together in life,
wrote this.

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare to dream of your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,
for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched
the center of your own sorrow,
if you have been opened by life's betrayals,
or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.

It doesn't interest me if the story you're telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another
to be true to yourself;
if you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.

I want to know if you can be faithful
and therefore be trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see beauty
even when it is not pretty every day,
and if you can source your life from God's presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure,
yours or mine,
and still stand on the edge of a lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes"!

It doesn't interest me where you live
or how much money you have.

I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair,
weary and bruised to the bone,
and do what needs to be done
for the children, for another.

It doesn't interest me who you are,
how you came to be here.

I want to know if you will stand in the center
of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what
or with whom you have studied.

I want to know what sustains you
from the inside when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself,
and if you truly like the company
you keep in the empty moments.
