Hello! I am on the right in the picture.The other lady is my mom on her 60th wedding anniversary last year.I would love to find the kind of loving, loyal, caring and lasting relationship that my parent's have. I believe if two people care about one another, they have the ambition and ability to give and take to make a relationship happy and sustainable through the many trials and tribulations of life.
I consider myself attractive,intelligent,generous,thoughtful, sensitive, caring and fun loving.I can also be serious.I have attended USC in LA,Calif. and Columbia Univerisity in NYC. I have worked as a nurse in acute care settings and the dental operatory. I am also interested in complimentary medicine such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture and herbology. However, I have not had any formal training in this area. In addition, I am a romantic. may seem shy and quiet at first meeting, but when I get to know someone, I blossom. I would like to meet and find a really good friend first. I would like to find a partner who is a real gentleman,sincere,warm,refined and knows how to treat a ladyHe takes care of himeself, and his appearance.He should be financially and emotionally secure, flexable,humorous and know how to give as well as receive. I am drawn to someone who is self-confident but not full of himself, or afraid to express his feelings in a reasonable manner. I like someone who has common sense and is also educated and intelligent,and secure within himself, but not necessarily follows all that he reads, in otherwards, is able to think for himself. I enjoy someone who likes to laugh and knows how to make me laugh. Ideally, someone who compliments me, can be patient,accepting,empathetic and nonjudgemental. I do not like smoking or cats(allergic).. I like to have a drink at times socially, and go to small parties and dancing. I like fine dining, as well as ethnic restaurants, going to a movie, play or listening to good music, as well as just relaxing at home.I am aware of world affairs, politically progressive and enjoy good conversations regarding both. I enjoy nature and the california coastline for it's terrific scenery.I also enjoy the life sciences, medical research, and am into integrative medicine. I also enjoy a good football game (preferably college).I enjoy men who are honest, sincere, respectful,bright,humorous and caring. I enjoy someone who is comfortable with himself and others, comfortable dressing up or more casual, and is understanding, generous, compassionate and empathetic. I am interested in meeting someone to date, long term relationship and marriage.I am by no means perfect, and I don't expect you to be either!!!! However, together, we can try. I am first looking for my best friend, who accepts me as I am. I like to go out and have fun, but I also like quiet time and some stability, as well as cooking for my special man. I need someone who can look at the beauty both inside and out, and appreciate me for me.We are willing to work together to build a strong loving relationship based on mutual respect. Please no one night stands. Come on fellas, don't be shy!!! I promise I don't bite.Please feel free to drop me a line.
