Date men and women from United States / Alabama / New Hope, 66 year old

Date a woman from New Hope, United States. I am a very independent woman looking for a man who can appreciate me as I am. I resue animals, am retired, help raise my granddaugher, am at home in the kitchen, barn or the symphony. Looking for someone to share. I love to cook, garden, fish, read, work with animals and people who need cared for. I am not looking for someone to care for me, nor am I looking for a man in my life who needs someone to take care of him. I am open, loving, caring, God fearing, and give about 300% to all things I do and care about. I want a man who will care about me, want to be with me, but won't smother me or try to tell me what I should do. In return I will be loving, caring, affectionate and will respect his need for doing what he needs to do. I am not a clining vine, and do not need someone to own me. I believe at my age I CAN HAVE MY CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!. If you are interested let me know. I hate emailing and texting back and forth for weeks before meeting a man. My idea of the good get to meet each other date is to meet somewhere public, have coffee or a drink and see where we go from there.
