Date a soulmate from Bella Vista, United States. I’m a Texan—lived there 'til I was 26…you can take the girl out of TX, but you can’t take TX out of the girl. ;-) I’m a loyal, honest, compassionate, affectionate, open minded, intelligent, passionate, easy going, independent woman. My friends are incredibly important to me, they're an integral and permanent part of my life. I consider myself a realist, balanced with optimism. I have a good sense of humor—kinda dry and a little sarcastic. I enjoy having time to and for myself; it helps keep me sane pleasant. I’ll try almost anything once. I really like to hike and enjoy riding horses. I have a fair complexion burn to a crisp, so summer has never been my best or favorite season. I grew up with deer hunters and have hunted myself a while back. Historically, I haven't enjoyed fishing, but I'm willing to try again. If nothing else I’ll be happy to accompany you, read a good book, enjoy the silence and the company as you enjoy wetting a line. If I'm wrong, I can admit it; I won’t like it, but I can admit it. I’d like someone who's able to do the same! I love starting the day with a couple of mugs of coffee; it'd be wonderful to have someone to share that ritual with me. I tend to be a live let live sort of person. I try to eat & be healthy, most of the time, anyway.
Quirks: I HAVE to have the noise of a fan to sleep. I like hot, spicy food. I’m a tad new-agey. Self-improvement has become a recurrent aspect of my adult life. I loathe shopping—for anything (exception: rooting around in flea markets antique stores). For some reason shows, movies, books involving paranormal or sci-fi aspects enthrall me (Ghost Hunters, Being Human, Highlander, Underworld, books by Koontz, Patricia Briggs, Charlaine Harris…like that.)
I want someone who wants to be my best friend, biggest fan, and staunch supporter. An open-minded man with a good sense of humor, intelligence, honesty, loyalty, warmth, & a fondness for physical affection is a man that I want to get to know! Acceptance, patience, passion, kind heartedness, respectfulness & understanding are other essential qualities. I absolutely DO NOT like racism or prejudice! Not a big fan of controlling people either, who think their way is the only “right” way & that anyone with a differing opinion is wrong. I'm an animal lover (not to the point where I have 10 cats, 5 dogs, a ferret and a gerbil) so it would be important to me that anyone who ends up wanting to spend time with me be of like mind. I want someone who’ll encourage me to step out of my box; try new things, explore new places, and continue to work to get myself in shape! NOT someone who wants to change me! I’m looking for a slow growing relationship that begins with a wonderful, close friendship. When I love, I love deeply, passionately & with loyal commitment. I’ve learned that I want a man who’s emotional available and able to share that side of himself with me. Someone who’s not a workaholic, and makes those who are important to him a priority, being sure they know that they know they are at the top of his list. If a relationship develops beyond friendship to love, I want a man who views a relationship as a partnership that continually needs to be nurtured by both to be strong and healthy. I also want a man who's able to say that he loves me. I've learned hearing that is very important to me.
It is a sad fact that there has to be some type of physical attraction for a relationship to get off the ground...especially in this dating 'venue.' I know that is true for men, and it is also true for women, as well. However, as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Meet someone special from Bella Vista, United States. No girlie girl here. The word my friends use most often to describe me is "Real". You will rarely have to wonder what I'm thinking because I will usually tell you...good or bad. My daughters are very busy in competitive sports/piano/taekwondo etc. so my schedule gets a little crazy sometimes. They are the light of my life and always come first. I don't really go out much but when I do, I love hiking or biking the local trails and going to the lake. I also like just about any live sports especially baseball and hockey. Above all else I would like to find someone I can have great conversations with and can make me laugh. I'm very spontaneous and would like someone who is the same. I'm not really the emotional/dramatic type but more of a "one of the guys" type but I know how to treat a man and have not had any complaints so far.

Date men and women from Bella Vista, United States. What to say? The first thing I want to know is how many people googled "how to write a successful dating profile? And of those people,how many found it helpful.
Enough of that.I am not looking to hook myself to anyones wagon. I desire to meet local people for fun with the possibility of more fun...following up with even more fun.
I am almost always out of state on business. It makes it almost impossible to focus on a long term commitment. However, I like the idea and am open to finding a reason to settle down.
This demands a friend with self esteem,employment and no mental-illness difficulties. I am rather accepting of others but prefer Men who are 'all man all the time'.No whiners or sissy boys. Seriouisly, no sissy boys.
I am young at heart and I appreciate a quick and keen sense of humor balanced by a sense of responsibility.
Having never been married, my baggage cart is empty.Although I love children, I have none. They are somewhat of a mystery to me.
I haven't a strong political opinion or religous view. I find it best to stay away from both topics, plus how boring is talk radio? I admit, I love 'coast to coast am' and 'the prarie home companion' but I would appreciat You keeping it our secret.
