I’m confident, self-sufficient and of sound mind. I have no need for drama.

I love unexpected calls. Walks any time of the day are great. I can be traditional in many aspects but surprises and a change of pace are refreshing.

I love to love, love kind people, love giving compliments, love life, love wind in my hair, love to dance, love to think, love to share, love to love - love life and all it offers.

I speak to strangers. I believe we’re all getting through life the best we can and some of us have it better than others.

I like planning ahead for some things but I can fly by the seat of my pants on a moment’s notice.

I want a man with a sound mind and sense of self, confident and intelligent, thoughtful and tender, expressive and communicative. I would hope that his love for me would pull me through the fire when necessary. I love a wink and smile from across the room as we search to find each other.

I’m eclectic in all aspects of my life - music, home décor, entertainment and friends. I studied art although I work in the financial industry; I have a second job that is my social outlet. I’m creative yet practical. I volunteer for things I believe in and for the betterment of the community I live in.

I give more than I take. I treat others the way I would want to be treated; especially loved. I'm open minded and honest. Sincere and thoughtful.

I have three fabulous daughters 25, 21 an 18. They are self-sufficient and very independent! Although my day to day parenting is coming to a close, I'm not opposed to meeting a man who's still living it. Just more to love about you.

Wishing you only good in your life and love.

First dates are all about the physical/face to face chemistry because at the point of meeting hopefully we'll have spent a reasonable amount of time emailing, texting, or chatting. We know there's chemistry; it's just a matter of whether it translates to real life. If all of the elements are there then first dates are about further conversation, lots of smiles and flirting, and probably a desire for that first kiss. The place is not as important as the company and energy that drives the time together. We'll know within the first 5 minutes if our meeting should continue as a date.

Friends are the beginning of any relationship. What transpires from there is yet to be discovered.
