Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Hoover, 53 year old

Date men and women from Hoover, United States. I believe the only way to get to know yourself is to be open to trying new and challenging experiences. Over the past couple of years, I have found things to be exciting that I thought I would never enjoy.
People say that I have beautiful eyes, a beautiful smile and a warm spirit. I feel very fortunate to have a great job that allows me to travel and manage broad areas of responsibilities. It also gives me financial stability, and for that I am thankful.
I just established my home in Hoover, and still learning the area. After a long marriage, I found myself to be "single-again" and beginning to be happy with a new live. I enjoy sharing good times with people that I can laugh with, share mutual interests and situations with, and develop friendships with.
I feel that I am a stable, intelligent, compassionate, determined, passionate, and a sincere person who is a good listener and friend. I would enjoy meeting new people in this area that have not been part of my past.
My perfect match would be someone that enjoys good conversation and companionship; and a very grounded and settled man, with whom a friendship, trust and possibly a deeper relationship may develop. Also someone who enjoys experiences different social events.
I would prefer a man who is happy with his single life, and not hanging on to the past. I am not a bitter or spiteful person, and usually very open minded and respectful to others who may not have the same views or opinions as I do.
