Date women from United States / Alabama / Mountain Brook, 52 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. My finest moment? NOT--But the folks who stared at the blonde woman, running down the highway berm in 4 inch heels,long hair blowing everywhere, in a mini skirt with a big briefcase under one arm (dissertation), and a little, also very hair-blown black and white dog under the other--seemed to find my plight funny (or perhaps this girl was nutty?).
Since I was becoming a Clinical Psychologist, one hopes the second is not it!!Actually, I was busting it in grad school to finish in three years, but have never been mechanically inclined. I used to have a "good fairy" who took care of my cars, but the fairy lives here, so my car just STOPPED; there I was all set for a super fun date , then family visit.
If you want the conclusion to the story, you have to drop me an e-mail (with your own "story").
By the way, if all those personality tests are right, I'm not a nut, but am definitely am not mechanical!
And the only real difference in this picture is that I finished the Ph.D. (no more dissertation nightmares!), and now can maintain mechanical objects (even cars!)
I am very good at listening, but promise I won't analyze you (I take the doc hat off except with clients). I would like to meet a romantic man, for dating, romance, companionship...and the possibillity of something long-term if we really click on multiple levels. For me this would first be someone who could share my passion for Christianity(denomination does not matter). But my direction and happiness in life has been driven by spiritual growth.
Thus, you will first see me with a smile on my face, ready to enjoy all the bounty and beauty God gave us.
I love both bundling up and playing in the snow (real good at snowball fights) to walking around in a bthing suit for days in the Florida (or Maui) sun. Travel is fun, but I have many other interests. I do love animals, especially dogs and horses--but all animals. My friends include a vet involved in "rescue"; I usually was "hiding" a "rescued" dog or cat in my dorm room in college. (You can get away with it in big dorm).
Anyway, I'm looking for a Christian man who has both similar and complementary characteristics and interests. I am very empathic, an extrovert with a playful streak, who likes alot of activities from a nice conversation to a moonlight ride and picnic on the beach! (Are you up for that?) I am flexiblle and do want to share activities we will both enjoy. My ideal guy will be a bit of a brainiac, with a sense of humor, rather assertive in a gentlemanly way, a sincere Christian, who is able to be vulnerable, sweet, and a real romantic.
If you think you might fit this, please drop me a note--we'll take it from there.
