I just wanted to say could you please respond WITH a picture I do feel attraction is what casts the fist spark, even though personality is what ignites the fire. I also prefer you live close enough to me because I probably would not relocate because of my kids and family. I am one of elevan, and they are my best friends. I love my kids, and family. I am a true romantic, and a very down to earth lady who enjoys doing just about anything. I love the holidays, playing pool, fishing deepsea, or fresh water, dancing, camping, weekend getaways to the ocean, photography, antiques, casino, wine tasting, fine dining, theater, working around the house, art museums, old black and white movies, horror movies, I enjoy dressing up or putting on a comfortable pair of jeans. It takes me sometime to warm up to someone, I don't just jump in to things, being kissy huggy right away, I feel that is something two people work up to when the feeling is right for both, although once I feel relaxed, and feel I can trust and believe in the person then I am very loving, love to laugh and have fun, can be alittle nutty at times, also compionate, caring, luvable, both give and take. I can be easy to get along with, but have no problem saying what's on my mind, whether good or bad. I believe in being honest, I don't mean that I would hurt someones feelings though. I am a communicator, and would like someone who has no problem with that. I am old fashioned in some ways, but not in others. I would love to live on a farm, or have an old colonial home close to the ocean, but still in the country, so I could have animals,lol, I know it sounds alittle far fetched. I am affectionate and loyal to the one I love, and will still be holding hands with him when I am 80! I love to talk and listen, to the one I'm with, I feel it is very important to have an open communication about everything. I can enjoy doing just about anything, I am a people person, and get along usually with anyone. Honesty is a must!!! Along with respect, and trust. So now that you know alittle about me, I wish everyone good luck in finding friends or that special someone............ Who I'd like to meet: Someone who loves children whether he wants any of his own or not. Someone who can be playful and fun. Has an imagination and is spontaneous. Takes chances, but not stupidly. Loves family life, as well as time alone. Someone who loves to show and receive affection, whether at home or in public. Likes to dance is a plus, lol. Loves the holidays, likes to talk, does'nt hope that a problem will just disappear, would rather discuss it, and settle it. I like to go dancing a couple times a month, but I do not want someone who spends all his time at the bars, I did that scene already in my life, and I don't want it now. I would like someone who wants a girlfriend for a bestfriend, to do things with whether it's something he enjoys or she enjoys doing, a give and take relationship. Someone who truly treats women with respect would be nice. It maybe alot to ask for, but I can pray, lol.
