Hi.... It's pretty simple - I'm hoping to meet someone who makes me smile, someone I look forward to talking to and being with, someone who feels the same about me. It's hard to say what makes a relationship a possibility - it's like something just clicks and the rest falls into place.
About me - Basically an easy-going person, but I will speak what's on my mind, have a good sense of humor & can even laugh at myself, don't sweat the small stuff, appreciate the little things in life, independent, friendly, self-confident, sometimes quiet, sometimes silly and I like to smile. I'm definitely an optimist & try to keep a positive outlook on life & what it throws my way. Honesty and respect are important to me.
I've been divorced for quite a few years,my kids are almost all grown-up and I now have a lot more time for me. I have lots of interests and am open to trying and learning new things.
Would like to meet someone with a good sense of humor, intelligence and confidence. Someone who values honesty, treats others with respect, doesn't take himself too seriously, works hard, but not too hard, is emotionally stable and knows what he wants and goes after it.
I really believe that true happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you've got.

I'd like a first date to be casual but somewhere that isn't too noisy so we can have a good conversation and the opportunity to connect.
