Date men from United States / Alabama / Cardiff, 55 year old

Date someone special from Cardiff, United States. Having been divorced for several years and having worked on myself during that time, I'm looking to take the next step in my life. I tend to be a one-woman person and am looking for a long term relationship, but that will only happen with someone who becomes my best friend. I don't have any particular ideal other than someone with whom I can have an intelligent, honest conversation and a good laugh. I'm ultimately looking for someone with whom we can build the kind of open, honest relationship in which all of intellectual, emotional, and physical intimacy can flourish. Also, while we don't have to think alike in this area, we need to have a compatible spirituality where we can each accept the other's ideas. I've also learned that part of finding a right person for a relationship is finding each other at the right point in each of our lives. I have an unwavering belief that someone with whom I can form the best relationship of our lives is out there somewhere and that we'll find each other when the time is right.
I have eclectic tastes and interests. The eternal optimist and incurable romantic, I am weighed down around people who are constantly negative, cynical, or jaded.
You also may want to know that I have an elementary school age son who is with me on a regular basis. Because many people my age have all grown children or no children, this may be an issue for some. It also helps explain why I sometimes quote Dr. Seuss or Disney movies!
