I'm a down to earth lady who loves life. I love being outdoors and the feel of the sun. I am independant, having been on my own for awhile now. I am not looking for a man to "look after me", just someone to spend some time with and see if things go farther. At the very least, we have both made a new friend.

Not much into the bar scene. I really don't think that is the best place to meet someone who could end up being a special person in your life. I like going for walks (especially along the water looking for beach treasures and skipping rocks), long drives with no destination in mind (grab a Timmies and just go!), watching movies, having a nice dinner with a bottle of wine, or just hanging out together at home. I like working in the yard, enjoy planting flower and vegetable garden and watching them grow. I also am happy to sit on the deck with a good book or a good friend.

I am not high maintenance. I am not a drama queen. I am not a Barbie Doll and I will never try to be. I'm just a country girl. I don't wear a bunch of makeup. I don't put on airs for anyone. Take me as I am, I'm just me.

I take things, both good and bad, as they come and deal with them accordingly. I don't believe in fairytales, I would just like to connect with someone who smiles when he sees me, someone who will proudly hold my hand in public, bring me flowers once in awhile "just because", call me up just to say they were thinking of me.....someone who on the spur of the moment says "hey-let's go to DQ!".

I believe a partner should compliment your life, not complicate it, so if you are into heavy drinking and/or drugs, or if you think cheating is a normal part of a relationship, keep on in your search. No head games please, I believe honesty is the best policy, even if it hurts. It will hurt more in the end if you're dishonest with someone.

You must have a love and respect for animals, as I have several and they are a very important part of my life.

A great first meeting (not really into the word date) would be to do something casual, like going for a walk, fishing, yard sales-something where there is not the pressure of sitting across from each other and feeling like we are on a job interview instead of a "date". An activity where we can be ourselves instead of worrying about the perfect first impression thing. Then if we survived that and there is an attraction, going for a coffee or a drink or a bite to eat.

Last but certainly not least, if we do click and decide to start seeing each other, I expect you to disappear from this site, as will I.
