mmmmm..I am back..I have tried this before and left out of frustration but I think I am ready to give it another shot..although I am still conflicted about all of this...Please if you do not sincerely desire a long term relationship and are not willing to work through minor issues that accompany that kind of commitment..pass me by. I am not unhappy on my own but I would certainly like to believe that with a partner it may be even better.

It is difficult to explain me..I am an educated, professional woman who embraces all that is intellectually stimulating. I love to learn for the sake of learning. I enjoy meaningful conversation and playful debate. We do not have to agree on all things..I am secure enough to encourage my partner to have his own opinions even if they differ from mine. I love to read..mostly biographies..true crime..but really enjoy reading anything that teaches me more about life and the lives that have gone before me. At times I can be quite introspective. At other times I may be quite mischievous and playful. I have a rather sarcastic sense of humor and I love to laugh...mostly at myself! I am multi faceted...I love the outdoors and camping..I am an avid gardener and I am never happier than when I am riding on the back of a horse in some quiet spot. I also enjoy riding motorcycles..on the back...with the wind blowing my hair cruising down a back road..all the troubles of the week are far behind me. On the other hand..I enjoy cultural and ethnic events..I love art..anything creative..I enjoy drawing, museums, theatre, and a good movie. I also enjoy cooking, sewing, and decorating..Ouch! I am sounding frighteningly domestic here..I do prefer the intimacy of a one to one interaction as opposed to a large crowd scene and I believe it is the company I am with that I enjoy not the activity I am in. There isn't much apathy in me..everything I feel, I feel strongly. I am passionate about life and am a sensual person.

I am looking for a man that can stimulate all sides of me. The ability to communicate your thoughts and feelings is imperative..as is honesty. The thing I find most intolerable is dishonesty or deception. I am honest and direct and I expect that my honesty is reciprocated. I also like a man with a sense of humor with the ability to laugh at life and himself. I value strong men with high moral values and a sense of integrity and respect. I am not into drama or weak minded men. I am not looking for a serial dater or someone that is addicted to these sites. I am a one man woman and I am looking for a one woman man. If you are looking for a one night stand or another notch on your belt..please pass me by.

My faith and my family are also important to me...

To quote the great and famous Dr. Suess, "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

A quiet place to talk and get to know one and other.
