I am an articulate, passionate person who enjoys the company of witty, intelligent people.
Especially those who aren't afraid to laugh at themselves!
We're a funny species indeed!

Champion of the underdog, defender of children.
Spring/Fall....not Winter/Summer
Brave and daring...not timid and meek.
Optimistic...not pessimistic.
Honest...not secretive.

Music makes our souls sing...love the Eagles, CCR, Neil Diamond, Blue Rodeo. Bob Seger.....also classic rock like Ozzy, Queen, Led Zep.....and some jazz, blues, country (new) and anything else that catches my fancy....if it makes you happy, it can't be that bad. (Sheryl Crow)

At this stage in my life I'm looking for more SUBSTANTIAL experiences.
I know what I want so am willing to explore the options and see where the road leads with little risk of losing my perspective.
I'm self-assured and not afraid to represent myself openly and honestly.
I'm not selfish, but learning to be self-full.

Hoping to find someone to smile with, whether it be over a secret inside joke that only we know, or at a beautiful sunset or nature scene that takes your breath away....smile often, laugh much, love deeply.
I don't want to use the quote about life being too short, I want to believe that meeting the right person will make me want life to go on forever...
Day trip or lifelong journey....help me decide.

No baggage here....unless I need to pack for a new adventure....

Hoping to find someone who is sincere, funny and has a positive outlook.
I'm a "glass half full" kind of person who finds arrogance and conceit deplorable, if you think you're that fantastic, chances are I won't!

I live alone for the first time in my adult life, the parents and kids no longer live here....let's behave badly!!!
I've raised my family, so I now have the opportunity to take my time and really explore what life has to offer...it's very liberating!
Who do I want to be when I grow up....hmmmm.

I don't profess to know what men are looking for, but it's obvious that your interests, likes and desires are as varied and unique as they are for women.
Fair enough.
Let's just take care in our pursuits, we all want to have some self-esteem left over...even if no one gets out alive!

Please post a picture if you're interested in chatting, eyes are the windows to the soul and I am not comfortable talking to someone I can't see.
You never know what will make the initial "click" so why limit your chances by not putting your best foot (and face,lol) forward.

I thrive on stimulating conversation with lots of flirting and witty banter, so if you like to connect on a fun but intelligent level, we just may hit it off!

And if you've made it this far....KUDOS for your patience!

I'm hoping that there are still men out there who value a woman for her femininity but feel secure enough to applaud her individuality and confidence in herself.

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead
Walk beside me..............

Meeting at a nice outdoor location to stroll around or going for a drink, anything that makes us feel comfortable and reduces the "interview" feeling that often accompanies the first date.
Chatting over drinks seems to put everyone at ease....strolling is always good.
After that, we'll have to use our creativity for future dates...any suggestions?
