Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Hartselle, 45 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. I must be a bit old fashioned because I'm really a bit nervous about this new method of dating and meeting people. But here it goes.
I am a bit of an outdoorsy lady, like to hunt and fish, I have and ride horses, like to hike, and also love sports. I love to cook and entertain and spend a lot of time with my very close group of friends. I'm a hopeless romantic! I enjoy listening to music, watching movies, and can be a bit adventurous. I believe that before any relationship is successful, you have to be friends and communication is the key to every successful relationship, no matter what kind it is. I am an animal lover, I have dogs and horses and if your not an animal lover, you're probably not the guy for me. I love children but do not have any of my own. If you do, that's awesome! I'm a goal oriented person, pretty driven by my dreams and desires, but realize it's just not as meaningful when you don't have someone to share them with. Guess that's why I'm here...
What am I looking for, well....a Gentleman! Someone that is respectful and genuine, but loves to laugh! Someone to share some of my interest, that values honesty and respects people for their religious beliefs and values. I believe that before any relationship is successful, you have to be friends and communication is the key to every successful relationship, no matter what kind it is. I am seeking someone that can be my best friend as well as my mate. I'm always up for trying new things so, if you're game for trying some of the things and hobbies I enjoy, I will be happy to explore yours.
