Hello and thank you for reading. I am sincerely interested in someone who is actually in search of somebody that is honest, down to earth, has integrity, whom is not into games or hurting anyone...for whatever reason. Alright, let me be clear.

**I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A CASUAL SEX PARTNER!! If that is your intent then please move on to the next person...thanks.**

I am open minded and would very much be interested in a gentleman whom does not present himself as a fast talker, a player or a solid taker.

I do not do drugs or smoke, but do appreciate a glass of good Merlot or Pinot Grecio on a warm summer night. I would prefer someone that enjoys laughter, long drives and walks up into the mountains, movies, and just enjoying the moment. I am not interested in someone trying to collect notches....I'm sure you know what that means from the days of high school. More than that is sought and deserved....especially at 45 years old.

I own my own home and vehicle....and they are both projects in progress....but they are mine.

I am educated and am only 3 classes away from my 5 college degree (my second Masters). Please don't let that scare you away. I'm not trying to match notes. If you have a job and some transportation, can carry on a decent conversation and love to laugh that's ok with me. I've been a student because I happen to enjoy it. Yeah, call me crazy. I'm taking a break now because I feel like it. ;-)

Alright, enough about me, please write and tell me about you.

I am pretty open for the first date so, let's think about something low key we both would enjoy. I do love long conversations to spend time getting to know each other. Let's talk about it and see where this goes.

Please NO Africans or visitors just passing through, that are not living in the US ....no disrespect. I'm really not interested, and no matter how suave and/or charming you are, you will NOT change my mind....sorry.
