I am looking for my best friend foreve; someone who understands and laughs at my jokes and witty conversation as well as my hopes and dreams. I am a woman who likes to laugh a lot, travel, long walks on the beach and spending time with people I love. I am very romantic but also just enjoy companionship - friends. I enjoy cooking and entertaining playing music and singing. I believe the best of my life is yet to come. I have two adult sons and one delightful grandson. My family and church are very important to me. I'm looking for a guy who, if he determines I am the one for him, that would be willing to walk through a hurricane for me and I would do the same for him. I am healthy, go to the gym regularly, very energetic and active and stay busy. I enjoy live drama, concerts, music of all kinds, reading, classic movies, dancing, the beach and mountains. I like to travel and would like to go to Italy, Paris and Austria some day. Hunting, fishing and camping are not on my list of priority activites, but have been known to enjoy fishing as long as someone else will bait the hook and removet he fish I catch (LOL). I don't operate on pretenses; what you see is what you get. I am very feminine and enjoy dressing up, jewelry and makeup,but also love my jeans and boots. Most people say I am warm, friendly, kind and caring and have a fabulous sense of humor. I am comfortable with who I am and am not anxious in new situations or surroundings, or meeting people. My children say I am a "classy lady" but they love me! I love young people, especially high school and college students,and have a good relationship with them. I would like to meet someone who is confident in himself, who can make me feel secure by the way he handles every situation. I believe I can take care of myself, for the most part, and am not particularly needy, but would enjoy having a man for companionship and a shoulder to lean on from to time. I value a man's perspective in day to day life and find his logistical nature helpful and refreshing as well as the hugs and kisses that might come with it. By the way, myy favorite kisses are long, slow and soft and believe a woman should be kissed and often. If you think we might be compatible,let me know. I would enjoy hearing from you.

A first date can be casual like talking over coffee or more formal like dinner or dancing. I would hope that by the time a date is planned, we know enough about each other to know what we would enjoy.
