I am an engaging, traditional, compassionate woman interested in finding a partner who wants to experience all that life has to offer. I enjoy spending time in NYC to quiet time in the country. I enjoy exploring new areas, coffee at a local cafe, walking on the beach and romance. Dinners at a BYOB are great as is cooking together at home - even better pizza and a movie! I run to keep fit and enjoy working out at the gym. I am hoping to snowshoe this winter...would you like to give it a try with me? Married for 20 years and miss the institution of marriage - having a partner, and a best friend to share life's journey. I have two great children, one is a recent college grad on his own in NYC and one away at college. Both make parenting a breeze. I have done a wonderful job raising them and now it's time for me to begin a new chapter in my life. I am interested in "dating" and would hope to have it lead to more, however, one step at a time...looking for a "professional" and someone who can respect my traditional values and who will want to treat me "special". Please be somewhat financially secure. I am looking to fall in love with someone who will accept my 2 children as I will accept his. Fitting into my life is easy - my Italian family is very close, loving, nurturing and accepting and there's a lot of love to share if you are willing to share yours! Let's meet, date and see where it goes!

I would not go: bowling
First date or meeting should be a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Keep it simple so we can meet sooner. Let's see if there should be a second date. Please no dinners on the first date.
