I'd like to clarify that I am 59 years young! I like reading, golfing and curling (every now & then) and would love to paint art after I find my waterfront home. My alone time as well as time with friends and especially family are important to me. Coming from a big family of 9 children, I am grateful and lucky that we all get alone and have fun together. I have raised my 2 sons by myself when I separated in 1982 (unfortunately, with little help from the father of my children).

Friends admire my good sense of humour, honesty, thoughtfulness, compassion and dependability. They also say that I'm above average in looks, have a nice smile, that I'm a giving lady who takes good care of herself and looks younger than her age. I'm presently working hard at not laughing at my own jokes; hopefully one day I'll succeed or I'll meet a man that finds that funny/cute.

In a relationship, I give my 100% the majority of the time (I err every now & then and I'll tell you why... because I'm not perfect). I love SNUGGLING & CUDDLING, spontaneous and unplanned actions, get-aways and unexpected loving words. I like a man who has no problem communicating, expressing his feelings/opinions and no problem compromising. It is important that the man in my life takes good care of himself, is not an alcoholic nor addict, does not smoke, is at least 5' 7" (no less than 5'7"... I like to look up at my partner), and a man who believes cooking and household chores is a 50/50 or... very close to it (example: me 35 and man 65 (just kidding!)). Also, I have a dislike of cats and do not like pets to reside inside a home. I like most food, except oysters, clams, liver, lamb and sushi... game to try almost anything else. And did I mention that I LOVE DANCING and I don't mean dancing alone! Is there someone out there who would like to go for short walks, someone who would like to become my companion, best friend and the love of my life?

I have been hurt 3 times too many in my relationship choices but, as a result, became stronger, wiser, more understanding and secure. Unfortunately, men in my previous relationships did not like expressing their love and appreciation. They weren't the romantic type and they'd get frustrated with my persistence in repeating that I needed to be told and shown, every now & then, that I was loved & appreciated. I usually persist in trying to get what I need when I know that it doesn't cost much time and effort from my partner, friends and family. Honesty is also extremely important to me.

I'm looking for friendship first... and then, we'll see where it leads! Why not send me an icebreaker?!!! What have you got to loose? If you are interested/intrigued with my profile but would like to see what I look like before meeting me, let me know by sending me an ice breaker. I'm prepared to let you know what specific location I'll be at and at what time so you can have a peak at what I look like. You could then decide if you are interested or not... and approach me if you are.
