Hello, This is the only part I hate

describing myself and what I want.. well here it goes... I'm a very honest person with a fun sense of humor, I'm open, caring and have a big heart, sumtimes to a fault. I have been taken advantage of but refuse to let that change me. I'm not looking for sumone to take care of me, I can do that. I want sumone to spend time with and hope it turns out to be the love of my life. I love to pamper my man and hope he will do the same.
I love animals.. I have a dog and 2 cats. Family is very important to me. I have a beautiful daughter and thee most wonderful grandson who is the love of my life. I had a son but sadly he was murdered in 1991 and am proud to say I am a survivor..It's still hard sumtimes but with all the hard work I put into his case I'm very proud of myself...
One thing I really need to stress is honesty... I would rather be hurt by the truth than lied too. So, please... no games. I don't play them and I won't tolerate anyone who does. I want to love and be loved like never before.
I like music.. Gets me moving in the a.m. I hope I don't look my age because I sure don't act it.
I am strong yet tender
I love like no other
I protect like no other
I am loyal
I am a great mother
I am a great grandmother (mimi)
I am a great friend
I am a great daughter,sister and aunt
I am a great lover
I seek to make my partner happy
I want to meet a man with a good sense of humor who loves animals of all kinds and enjoys life,family and just doing things with sumone like me. I want a partner who is just as into me as I am into him. All this sounds so corny but it's the truth.. I'm too old to hang out at bars(never been my thing) and where else are you gonna meet men who are looking for women. So if I have to go fishing to find the right guy then here I am... I WANT LAUGHTER,PEACE AND NO SECRETS.

one last thing please don't apply past women issues to me...
You may have been treated wrong, but not by me
You man have been hurt, but not by me
You may have been cheated on, but not by me
You may have been disappointed , but not by me
I am like NO other
First date..hmmm..Well untill you know there is a real attraction I would keep it short, like a drink or coffee. If you both feel the same about each other than what ever you do would bound to be fun and exciting...Dinner,listing to music,dancing,movies... just getting to know each other is fun..
