I am re-writing this for the 4th time...............I guess we all, at one time or another, seem to wonder if anyone on here is real or really looking??? I have tried many photos........none are very good........sorry for that. So then I am to write something about myself that peaks your interest so you will read on or maybe email me to talk??? I am a strong woman on the outside.........tough as nails hide!!! But what most find surprising is just how easily hurt I can be, because I am really a very tender hearted woman. I like to talk(this is an understatement), I like romance and affection, I prefer mountains and cabins to beaches and bungalows(but like them both), I am very much a Fall season heart, but love warm Spring rains to walk in. Fireplaces glowing, a man holding me in his arms.................a man not afraid to open his heart and find real passion and true love. I am 48yrs old and have never been married(no it is not required to have a child) and no that was not my choice, but my fate! I have history, but we all do and yes it does make us who we are and for some of us, it can still affect how we feel and move thru life to some extent. I want to find a man of my match, one who can temper my fears and excite my soul and ultimately find peace in growing old in each others arms. I am at times hard to understand but see myself as more simple than most are willing to see. I am seeking the love of my life and my best friend who can see me like no one ever has. I want and need(yes I said need!!) a real man who is not afraid of a woman who wears her heart for all to see.............I love deeply...............care easily...............and fear greatly I will never find you. So........that is me........a total emotional creature(can we say WOMAN). Logic in love has no place, as love only knows the heart as its home! As for the rest.......I am an Asst. Manager in a retail tool company and have a big ol chocolate Lab named JD. I have a 25yr old daughter and my son in law who is finally home from the Army. She works for the railroad and he is going to culinary school now to be a chef. I have a small apartment and my own car and a steady job. I pay my own way and do not need to be supported. I am here because I am tired of going thru life alone.........I have very few friends as I have moved around a lot growing up or due to work. Started a new career last year so I moved from Fort Worth where I was born and lived for most of my life. This has taken me again away from my friends and again I am alone here. You would think 57 miles isn't that far, but it seems like a world away most of the time. I am being as honest as I can about who I am, how I feel and what I want and need. I don't want to waste anymore time, than I have to, finding the man God made me from and for(Adam and Eve sort of thought??)
..............I believe in religion, but am more spiritual about faith. God/Christianity is my belief, but the church to me is not always a building and I do not attend or have in years??? Sooooo........what else to say??? I thank you for reading this far and maybe spending a moment considering if I might be what or who you have been trying to find. I am WOMAN, so if you wish to say hi you have to be the MAN and start the ball rolling. I am kind of old fashioned, if a man wants to or is interested in persuing you, he will! If he isn't then he will not open the door. I let you choose which you want to be. If you are reading this because I marked you as a favorite, I am allowing you to still make the choice to open the door further?? If you do not make contact, I will assume you do not want to make contact!. I thank each and every one of you who stop by and read my profile. I wish you all the same good fortune I hope for myself.

spur of the moment or well planned.............it is what it is, a meeting so we can see if the other is what they say they are here on this site. If it is a real date or a stop for coffee to calm the nerves.........it has to be an equal effort for both to want to meet and really see! Kisses, hugs or simple hand shakes to end the meet are optional, but not required!!!
