Date women from United States / Alabama, 55 year old

Date someone special from Alabama, United States. I would like to enjoy "dating" whether that is just meeting for coffee, making a new friend or something more. So, give it a try, take it slow and let's see where it goes! About me: at home I like to read,cook, work on projects when I have the time. I love children, seniors and most all in between. I am a people person. I volunteer with a few organizations and I stay busy with friends and family. Love to turn the music up and sing and dance! Almost never watch TV. No casinos or long motorcycle rides for me. I love to entertain, cook/grill, fish, camp, hike , bike (I have all my own equipment for this too). I enjoy gardening and home projects and will tackle anything once! Want someone that enjoys similar activities,not just because I came along but because he would do them with or without me! I I don't have to be moving every minute of the day but am definitely not a couch potato. I ADORE hardware stores, especially the old ones that have a bit of everything in them. A visit to one of these is far better than Saks or Macy's. Love parks, theater, music, museums, I love learning. I read all the words under the displays at the museums...drives my family crazy! I grew up sailing and skiing on the gulf coast and I love the lake too but the mountains are my favorite place to be, I find peace and serenity there. A mutual enjoyment and appreciation of each other is necessary. I am not high maintenance. I am feminine but not fussy. I don't get weekly manicures nor wear stiletto heals.(refer to the SheDaisy song- "I will") I do take care of my appearance and know how to dress appropriately. Priorities are faith,family, health, and joy. It is important to me to make a difference while here. Looking for man of high value to laugh, love and enjoy life and stick together even when you don't feel like it! Commitment vs Love. Must value monogamy and be financially responsible. I love to travel: New York to San Francisco, and all points in between. I enjoy meeting new people, make friends easily. I know how to handle myself in business as well as social situations. I am a bit independant and not clingy or needy, I am however a very affectionate person that likes/needs to give as well as receive. I am self supporting and enjoy my career. I am looking for a partner, not a crutch. I won't embarrass you in public and I expect the same in return. I am not loud or brassy but I will stand my ground and speak up when need be. I have a soft heart and a ready smile. Just like most that are here I am looking for that magical combination of body, mind and soul. Except for a few strange answers everyone on here sounds very similar don't they? So what is it I am hoping for? A man that compliments me, we don't expect to agree on everything, nor do everything together, but our CORE values are the same. Someone I admire and enjoy (as do others). One that can be the best male friend I have ('cause the truth is sisters and girlfriends can not be replaced). I don't believe one person can fulfill every need, but rather it is finding the right combination and balance with all our relationships. That one special relationship should recharge our batteries not drain them down. An upbeat, positive person. A kind, patient, romantic, trustworthy, responsible, clean, fun, social,....(goodness, sounds like a boyscout) but you know, an all around great guy! There does have to be a mutual attraction but sometimes that comes after knowing one another for a while. On the other hand we usually KNOW when something won't work. I am average appearance, no great beauty. If you want a showpiece or just a piece, well pass me by, I am not the one for you. While I wish I could go back and do it all over again, it can't be done. I like the inside better now anyway.

Meet a soulmate from Alabama, United States. Sugar and spice, everything nice, add crazy sense of humor along with a big smile and dimples...that's me! I am a bright and outgoing woman, seeking the good in others. My silly feistiness will surely make you laugh. Honesty, trust, and respect are the key ingredients for a relationship to work. I am open and expect the same.
Take me out to the ballgame, to a movie, or to dinner. I love to cook, listen to music, and will even drive your golf cart, if you need. I am excited to try your activities, as long as you by me a latte now and then. Yes, I love Starbucks!

Date a woman from Alabama, United States. I'm newly divorced and am trying to step out of my comfort zone to meet new people. My friends would probably describe me as fun to be with, having a good sense of humor, and warm and giving. I am smart and well-informed about the world, able to converse on many subjects...but also a good listener (actually trained to be a good listener...see my education, below). I'm not high maintenance and definitely not into drama. I'm comfortable with who I am, not needy or demanding in a relationship, but am passionate and generous in love.
I can find fun and enjoyment in most activities, and I'm adventurous enough to try lots of new things. I work hard at a demanding job, but when I have time to relax, I'm pretty open to whatever opportunities present themselves. I love watching most sports, work out most days, cook as often as I can (love cooking), read and watch TV for relaxation. I have two grown children and three small grandchildren, but they do not live close by, so I am truly living in an empty nest! I love them more than anything and try to visit them several times yearly.
A good match for me, aside from being someone to whom I am physically attracted, would be a man who is also comfortable with who he is. I am interested in meeting someone who is smart but doesn't take himself too seriously, someone who enjoys time with his guy friends and doesn't need me to be there by his side 24/7, someone who is active and energetic, well-educated to his world, and fun to be with.

Meet someone special from United States. Hi! I consider myself a "people person." I love good humor, spontaneity, having fun, getting out, doing things, going places, whatever, I'm usually ready......but, I also like staying home at times, watching a good movie and relaxing. I love to travel, especially spur-of-the-moment trips, and cruises. I've been on three now, and I've become a cruise addict......can't wait to go on the next one! I have an adventurous streak and love to try new things (within reason and the law!).
I would like to meet someone really interested in having a friendly, exclusive relationship, leaving the option open as to what kind of mutually satisfying union it could become. Of course, we would have to "click" in the beginning. Then, enjoy long conversations about anything and everything (I'm your typical woman and love to talk!). Kidding aside, I want someone who is willing to open up and share their feelings with me. How else are we going to get to know one another? I know that's hard for some men to do, but I also know there's got to be someone out there who's discovered that good communication and being in touch with one another is the only way to a close relationship. I want someone who enjoys being with me as much as I enjoy being with them, and where we both look forward to our time together. I know you already have your life and I already have mine, but wouldn't it be nice to have someone to share "down" time with? If I meet someone and the chemistry is there, I don't want to ruin it by jumping into something too quickly and it fizzling. I'd like to take it slow, enjoy your company, get to know each other, and anticipate the outcome.
It would be a delight to find a "significant other" to share life, love, and laughter. I have a direct approach with people and their feelings. I don't mean to come across as me being too serious. It's just that I'm an honest, sincere person and my personal relationships are important to me.......no head games, guessing games, or petty tricks. Show me honesty, sincerity, and respect, and you'll get the same in return.
Oh, and tho I love getting acquainted........I respond to those with photos only.

Meet a woman from United States. Upbeat. I am ready to laugh and some say I'm quick witted. I enjoy being with people who take life seriously but are willing to laugh at themselves and look for the good in a situation. I'm proud and grateful that my marriage lasted for over 30 years until the unexpected death of my husband. I was just a baby when I got married.
I am satisfied with my life right now, but I wouldn't mind finding someone to have dinner with, catch a movie, have drinks, spend time with other couples, etc. I can't imagine spending the rest of my life alone. I'm embarrassed to admit that Craig Ferguson and Ron White make me laugh out loud, but so do my friends and family. I believe you may find humor in most any situation. I have many casual friends, but I also have close friends that I've known 40 years since grammar school. We get together for dinner, movies, and have gone on small trips to see a play or attend a wedding, etc. We even took bridge classes together. We were the young'uns in that class! Sometimes we just go to the Gulf for a weekend. I like spending time with family, working crossword puzzles, playing computer games, and (don't laugh) watching Dancing with the Stars (ah, go ahead and laugh). I am very close to my family especially one of my sisters. She and I sometimes go to the boats in Biloxi and have traveled together for business and pleasure. People tend to gravitate toward us. I'm passionate about my vocation which is teaching at a Parochial school. I enjoy most types of music EXCEPT rap and acid rock. I've been to a lot of live concerts starting with Three Dog Night in my teens and seeing the Eagles live three times. I've seen ZZ Top, Lynard Skynard, Larry Gatlin, Elvis (fat), Village People (old), Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and a few others. I'm not very athletic and not much on camping or roughing it, but I enjoy watching sports including college football.

I dont think I ever really dated much. I fell inlove early in life and I knew he was my soul mate. We had a great life. And then he was gone. But life does`nt stop for the living. So you make a choice, and I chose to join the human race again. I`m full of spunk and I liked to think I`m a person people want to be around. Family and friends are everything to me. I draw my strenght from God`s word and his promies. I believe we go around once and this is`nt dress rehersal. I know that there is someone out there to make me smile again and to be silly with. I maybe over fifty but but my mind will never grow old.

. I am a black-eyed, dark hair mystery. most people think I have a good sense of humor and personality. Comfortable to be around, great to take out. Best of all you will want me to snuggle with me and a good book. Or a blanket on a beach. Send a message if this interest you. there is a pic of me on ourtime.com seemercb
