Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Centerton, 40 year old

Date men and women from Centerton, United States. I have a great job in retail design and management. In my 20's, I was active duty in the Navy and served as an Air Traffic Controller. Was lucky to be stationed in Key West, FL most of the time I was in the Navy. It was a terrible place to be stationed (whatever! I loved it!). Ha!
I enjoy the water (lake and ocean) and spending time with family and friends. I like to ride horses on the weekend to stay current with my hick roots (ha!). I grew up in a large family that remains very close to each other. Family is very important to me.
My match- ok, here we go (ha!)!! If the right person comes along with the right values, interests (don't have to be the same as mine- I want to learn new things), desires and their vision of happiness includes me in the equation, we'll see what happens... I am taking things slow and don't want to jump into a serious relationship without getting to know someone first and spending quality time together. I will not settle for someone that I can just live with in order to not be alone (I am ok with being alone); I will wait until that special person comes along that I can't live without. I do not need someone to be happy but I would like to find someone special that I want to be with for the rest of my life because I can't imagine going another day without them in my life. That is what love and happiness is all about. I believe one day he will walk into my life (probably when I least expect it).
I love surprises (good ones). I believe it keeps a relationship spontaneous and alive. Looking for that rare quality in a man who feels the need to do things for me because he wants to, not because he feels he "has" to.
Relationships take work getting through the day to day stuff together and communication is so important. I am not a fighter. I don't feel there is a need to talk something to death. Lay it on the table, acknowledge it, talk about it, move past it and get on to the next venture. We most likely will never agree on everything. Sometimes you just have to agree to disagree. That's ok. Again, communication is key and compromise is important if it's for someone you love.
Life isn't about WHAT you have but about WHO you have to share it with. It's so important to laugh together, at yourself or at each other (respectfully of course). It's about always having someone there you can trust, share your good and bad days with and say whatever is on your mind and know they will just take time to listen, hold you close, and let you know tomorrow is another day or celebrate your victories. A true friend or lover will always be there for you when you are sick or healthy and you know you never have to ask for anything. It's always offered selflessly.
I am open to long distance relationships but know it will not last if both people aren't willing to make equal efforts to make time for visits. Spending time together and getting to know each other outside of phone calls is very important for the relationship to continue to move forward and grow.
Sexy is a confident man (not arrogant) who doesn't compromise his beliefs and values because "something easy" presents itself. In my mind, that separates the men from the boys.
I know what I am looking for in a man and some things can be listed out but mostly it is a feeling. The list is simple but the feeling is complex. It's a feeling that no quality list can describe. It has more to do with how I feel when I'm with him and when I am alone and can't think about anyone but him. I believe there is someone special out there for everyone. Its all about taking the time to truly get to know someone. Honestly, the best stories are those of a couple in love describing how fate brought them together. How their lives changed in a moment because they acted on it. After that moment, the history to their story is theirs for the making.

Meet someone special from Centerton, United States. Well my time has expired if you are interested wink and I might sing up again. I am very outgoing and enjoy many different activities from going to the lake or watching a ballgame, riding horses, and etc. I have a daughter and she is out of school starting her life. Family is very important to me. Would like to find someone who enjoys the same things and could show me new things as well in life. He must be family oriented and love kids. I want someone who is honest and loyal one who will give 100% to the relationship and get it back in return from me. I want to find someone and get to know them become friends and see what happens.

Date people from Centerton, United States. Love to laugh and have a good time! I love the sound of laughter and seeing others smile! I enjoy helping others and luckily, my career allows that to happen regularly! My friends would tell you, I'm honest, sincere, hardworking and self sufficient. Definitely not looking for someone to take care of me - I've got that handled! However, it would be nice to have someone hang Christmas lights for me! LOL!! Seriously, I'm all new to the dating scene. I've been divorced for 5 1/2 years and have dated 2 men during that time but haven't found the one for me. I don't do the bar scene much - but will go occasionally. Most of my time is spent at work or home entertaining friends!
Im a great cook and enjoy cooking for family and friends! If you're looking for high maintenance - I am NOT the one! I'm as comfortable at the deer camp as I am the Country Club! If it involves camping, canoeing, cooking, backroading or four wheeling; count me in!! I'll bring the fun! :)
I'll watch your action flicks, football, basketball, etc - but I would expect you to watch a good romantic comedy with me as well! :) I don't golf - but enjoy the beauty of the game and the determination/persistence it takes to play it.
Some of my favorite things: water - its extremely soothing to me! Laughter - especially that of my boys and friends. Storms - I love to sit outside and watch a good storm roll in! A good book - romance, history, non-fiction; i'm an avid reader! Snuggling - I enjoy a lazy day on the couch with good movies and a great meal on the menu! Family - they keep you grounded and they HAVE to love you! :)
