Date women from United States / Alabama, 56 year old
Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. I retired from my career at an early age. Had also been married a long time but began to realize I wasn't in a happy state of mind so I took steps to become responsible for my own happiness and I've stopped looking for someone to blame other than myself when I was stuck in a funk. So far I am happy with my decisions, but I do get lonely for a partner to share some special moments in my life.
I would like to find someone who has a lot of things in common with me. Too many people in my past that I had more friction from just seemed to be polar opposites. I understand opposites attract but I have found the magnetized field slowly loses its pull and eventually the opposites drift away.Hopefully, I will work on writing more so it might be easier to find if we do have activities, background, education, morals, thoughts, and dreams in common.
After a few weeks of thinking about this, I have posted one picture and am ready to write a little more:
I think my friends would call me a positive, fun loving, northern born but southern raised girl who only wants someone to appreciate and respect her. I would add that I am searching for that special man who can show love and kindness every day and in return receives the same thing. I enjoy finding the good in everyone and everything. I marvel everyday at the things in nature that are put there to make us stop and smile. Things from puppies to the way a leaf is floating on top of a puddle to the way the sun shines through the tree branches can make me slow down and enjoy life.
Music plays another important role in my life along with nature. I am not blessed with any musical ability other than the ability to enjoy it and understand its many roles as soothing agent, motivator, mood setter, and energy booster. If anyone wants to go to a concert or a small town bar with an unknown band, I"m your date.
Other areas we would have to have in common would be your love for children, animals, books, and education. You must believe there is a higher power, believe in manners, and kindness to strangers. And of course, do not jump on the bandwagon about government, politics, or our country's recession. So you wonder then what can we talk about? How about movies, art, or YOU!
Meet someone special from Alabama, United States. I am a woman who thinks life is what we make it. We have to be the person to decide if our life is half full or half empty, mine has always been half full.I have choosen to live my life with the thoughts that anything is possible and we can all choose to be a better person no matter what life throws our way.. Life has alot of ups and downs but if you have a positive attitude ..you can with stand and live thru anything...so with that being said..it still goes back to the saying: Life should not be measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away......Life is good if you can instill the idea of always a better tomorrow is just within your reach.
Date a woman from Alabama, United States. I am a single woman who really doesn't need a man but wants one to be a companion with. I love to travel and go nice places with family, friends or just one on one to spend that quality time with. I am a hard working woman who pays my own bills and look forward to quality down time. The man of my dreams is financially stable and a big help to me and our causes together. He will have to spoil me because I intend to do the same to him. He will also have to have Christ in his life and our lives together. I love to go places that have Chicago style steppers in the place and love to dress fine and look nice when we go out in public. I am grateful for my family and friends and look forward to meeting others in the same lifestyle. He needs to be handsome, built, takes care of his health, family and easy on the eyes. I like a tall man and believes that cleanliness is next to Godliness. Good teeth, hair, wardrobe and has a lot of Class. I am passionate about fine things in life and enjoying each others company. I want to go as many places and do as many things TOGETHER.
Meet a soulmate from United States. I am adventurous; absolutely love laughter, comfortable with myself and independent. I am optimistic, privately spiritual, extremely creative and so therefore - sometimes easily bored. My favorite time is spent outdoors riding my horse. I also treasure great conversation - the kind that makes the evening fly by and makes you smile the next day. I am old enough to know the difference between quantity and quality and have developed a preference for the latter in both men and wine.
I have raised three children, all of whom are my best friends and now enjoy the experience of being a grandma - all the fun but much less responsibility! I truly believe that life is just one great opportunity and would love to find someone whose values, outlook and attitude compliment my own. Chemistry is always important, but when that does not click friendship is a wonderful option. Grace, self-awareness and a little sensitivity can go a long way. Intelligence is important, especially when expressed in humor, but I never mistake academic achievement for intelligence. My father did not have the opportunity to finish school having grown up in the depression, however, he was one of the most intelligent men I have ever had the privilege of knowing.
Physical beauty is subjective. I believe people become more attractive as we learn more about them. I enjoy diversity - I have always had an "outside of the box" personality. I prefer men who can laugh, smell delicious, allow themselves to be silly - but can handle serious issues intelligently (meaning, yes - they can discuss/debate any topic).
Most importantly, I believe happiness is a choice. Given almost any situation I will choose to be happy. I am interested in finding someone who shares that attitude.
If you've read this far that's a good sign. If you'd like to know more then then send me an email or at least an "I'm interested". A wink is nice but frankly, I haven't the slightest clue what the appropriate response is to an electronic wink.
Date someone special from United States. *** Just returning to Match.com after being off for over a year ... Recently I've met several whom have met their Special Partners on here so I thought I would give it another try.
I am looking for a Best Friend, someone to listen to, to laugh with, talk to and just spend time with.
I prefer to take things slowly and become great friends. As we learn about each others interests, likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, we will use that to Grow Together.
Life is so much more meaningful when shared with someone whom your compatible with.
I can be Independent but love more than anything having someone to share life with. I can get lost in deep conversation as easily as I can in silly laughter. I have a broad spectrum of interests and I enjoy everything from more cultured events to all types of outdoor activities. I Love my "Little Black Dresses" even more jeans, t-shirt ball-cap ;-)
I'm drawn to ALL waters, but LOVE Tropical locations w/palm trees lying in a hammock with adult beverage in my hand. Of course a weekend cuddling on the couch is included in there too and I can NOT leave out a Sense of HUMOR a Requirement to LAUGH each day. ;-) LIFE is way to short not to !!!
I am a Widow since 2004 as I lost my Husband of 20 years to Lung Cancer in just 4 short months .. Therefore, I do NOT date Smokers !!! Not ALL smokers get cancer ... this is just a personal choice I have made.
Also, a Mom to 3 beautiful daughters whom I adopted from Russia ... I am truly Blessed ;-)
PLEASE know that I am NOT seeking a **Pen-pal .OR. Phone-a-Friend** But a REAL Human Person in my Life !!!
Some desire to just "Email and Talk" for months/years with NO intentions of wanting to truly find a partner ...
Like Match.com and several other dating sites they're on is a HOBBY for them.
Meeting and getting to know someone "Miles Away" can be a challange in doing .. UNLESS .. "BOTH" are committed in making it happen !!! ...... IT TAKES "2" .......
NO PHOTO = NO Reply
ALL my photo's are "CURRENT" I've been told I look just as my photo's in person .. which I think we agree sometimes is not so.
Best of Luck in your search ;-)

Meet a woman from United States. I am very loyal to my friends and family. I enjoy helping my loved ones. My faith is very important to me and anyone that I became involved with would have to share that faith. I hold honesty, loyalty, integrity, sense of humor, and compassion to be vital. I enjoy the outdoors; the beach, mountains, or just driving through the countryside. I teach the second grade and love my job.
. I enjoy going to parks, walking around water, watch movies, go out to eat or not (can eat in) - looking for someone not afraid to show affection in public (hold hands or occasional kiss if compatible) or just talk for hours. I enjoy sitting at home or going out. (I love the TV function - DVRing lol)
I am a nice, friendly person. (I may be a little cautious up front) but after an ice breaker or two, you will find that I am out-going, funny, good listener and enjoy doing the simple things in life. Don't have drama and don't want any. I am open to many options. Life is too short to not enjoy it. Looking for a nice guy who too enjoys company of opposite sex. Someone that looks at life as a positive thing and not always being negative about things that you can not control. Look forward in hearing from you.
. I am a single retiree, I have two grown children and six grandchildren, expecting another next month. I would like to meet a man to spend quality time with. I love my family and spend lots of time with them, hope to meet someone who enjoys family time. I have been divorced for 29 years.

Spend time with friends and family. Just to enjoy life together. Proud of my 3 sons and 2 grandsons. Most passionate about enjoying life whatever I am doing. simple things.
. Im just a normal chick looking for a normal guy. I have never done this before so I have no idea what to say. But, if I have to say something I would say that my friends say I am an energetic and bubbly, talkative person with a big heart. I've worked hard and like to be productive. I have a son (16) who means the world to me and he has been the most important person in my life. I must say he's a good one. I've been a single parent since day one and now I guess it's time to perhaps branch out as I've done a good job in raising him. So now I can devote time to exploring new things.
. My closest friends would describe me as dependable, silly, playful yet serious when need to be. My grand daughters ages 5 and 2 make me smile. Of all my accomplishments I am most proud of being a Licensed Minister. I am grateful for my family, friends, changed lifestyle and for opportunities to tell others what GOD has done in my life. I want to meet someone that is spiritual and outgoing that loves people, does not play mind games, easy going and laid back, not emotionally needy. Spending time with family and friends, watching comedy, action and real life crime movies. Simple things make me laugh out loud anything from a TV commercial to the cat where I work at giving me this look like what do you want now when I call him. I am looking for a relationship where we can be best friends and talk about any and everything with each other and respect each others need for alone time as well. I am most passionate about my work in Ministry, love of music, youth group and grand daughters.
. Independent long enough to be capable of fixing things on my own, but tired of the hollow echoes of the empty rooms and spaces of my life.Love music events, festivals, art shows, being by the waters-or on them- camping,and other interests, but mostly like "hanging in", around the house, doing stuff...decorating,(feng shui) yardwork,guitar, artistic pursuits , and always music , rarely TV except music videos and really awesome movies...Ha! if only I knew...hhmm, well..easy-going, independent but also wants to share time and energy with another...loves music and music events, arts and art events, kids (especially his) and accepts mine as part of me, altho they are grown and recently on their own, understands that they are a huge part of me and who I am.He needs to be tolerant of the workload I carry as a teacher, often many hours at home preparing for classes and exhibits.If he is musical ( especially guitar or Indian drums,etc) or artistic/poetic/ creative,that's bonus.If he practices yoga, meditation,eating more natural than not, even more bonus.Surely, he's out there somewhere!!
