Date women from United States / Arizona / Tucson, 57 year old

Date someone special from Tucson, United States. I am basically a happy person and I am at a point in my life where I want to share interests and new experiences with someone.
I have a wonderful family, children who are smart, funny and independent. I also have very good friends. I have worked in a local non profit agency that deals with abused and neglected kids for the past 18 years and am proud of the work we do!
I am looking forward to meeting someone who has a good sense of humor....or at the very least will laugh at my jokes! Care for good causes and a sense of adventure is a plus.

Meet a soulmate from Tucson, United States. As a Christian woman who strives to live my life upon GodРІР‚в„ўs principles (fairness, compassion, open-mindedness, and honesty), I am ready to add to my experiences by meeting some new people. I am family-oriented and a professional, with two adult children who are still very much a part of my life. Two years ago after multiple excursions between the States and Germany, I am proud to be an American citizen. My friends at work tell me that they admire my patience and dedication since I work with troubled teens coaching them to make wise decisions and tutor them in Math, one of my passions. I feel fortunate to have solid relationships with friends and family locally and internationally, and I have a funny dog that makes me laugh daily. I am assertive and affectionate; I enjoy reading, fishing and playing games, including video games. Another thing I love to do is surprise friends with dishes from my home country of Germany, and about a week after the school year starts, people start hinting for another sample using my culinary skills.
After getting divorced five years ago and never even gotten a kiss in that time (my personal decision to work on my independence), I am a bit hesitant yet eager to widen my social circle. My ideal date might include a lively discussion about movies or literature, or a stroll through a museum. I am curious about exploring more of the beautiful southwest, and possibly fishing for regional catches. I often walk my dog up to three miles a day, and delight in teaching her new things or crafting a playdate with her and other canines. Thanks for reading my profile, and I look forward to teaching you some German!

Meet someone special from Arizona, United States. Lust is easy. Love is hard. Like is most important. ~Carl Reiner
Looking for my heart's desire in an honest, adventurous, flirtatious, spontaneous, fun, fit romantic guy. Size does matter... a big heart! Be a great communicator, with a quick wit --as laughter is the key to a long life. Hope you are noble, kind, one who embraces empathy, and is open to growth in a soul nurturing relationship, an empty nester, ready 4 adventures.
I grew up in Wyoming (no, that is not Big Sky Country, perhaps better!), with many adventures on a cattle ranch, did everything outdoorsy, just learning to play golf but love it a lot, like fly fishing, boating, pontoon boats, small airplane rides, antique appreciation, camping, hiking, travelling, horses, love to cook, have small dinner parties, enjoy cultural things, skeet shooting, star gazing, interest in wine, and photography, and am a writer in progress, did freelance newspaper reporting in San Diego. I am willing to try new adventures with the right guy! Have three granddaughters in DC, family in Wy and Az, and live with my Siberian watch cat (world's most hypoallergenic breed, so don't say you are allergic!).
"It's only with the heart that one can see rightly; what's most important is invisible to the eye." (The Little Prince). The heart is the best lens for love! Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.~William Shakespeare, Mid-Summer Night's Dream, 1595.
Cheers and follow your heart!

Meet a woman from Arizona, United States. Warmhearted artsy woman looking for someone who likes to travel and try new things. I tend to see the glass half full and love to laugh. Music moves me as does the outdoors. I'm gravitating towards a healthier lifestyle and hope you are too. I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes to pair with wine or an ice cold beer. I love going out to the movies or even staying in and renting a DVD. Would love to find someone to go hiking and biking with. My friends are more sedentary and won't go. They would describe me as somewhat laid back and easy to get along with. Also respectful, honest, trustworthy and loyal. I'm looking for someone with similar qualities. I believe in striving to be the best that you can be and that we're never done improving or learning. I'm young at heart and affectionate. Looking for friendship first and we'll see what develops. Thanks for reading and I hope you find your heart's desire!

Date someone special from United States. I can make your wildest dreams come true. When we walk into the room, heads will turn and every man will envy you. Dance after dance they will cut in, but you know in the end it will be your arm that escorts me. You will be delighted in my charm and wit, my admiration of you, and my knowledge of sports. Let's run away, you and I. Let's grab this world and swing it by it's tail.
I also like times of solitude, so please understand if I retreat to my beach house for a week or two.
I am as comfortable on the Queen Mary as I am on a fishing boat. Your family will adore me. I will buy the outfits you pick out for me. I want to look good for you!
And the years go by so fast, the choppy waters calm, and we will think back on this day fondly.
ps I expire 7/30 at which time the truck turns into a pumpkin and will be listed on Craigs list at a greatly reduced price.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Hi - I'm a fairly mellow woman with a good career, home and family. I'm told I am pretty. I'm told I have a wicked sense of humor and a huge personality. I guess so, but you decide. If you read my profile then you'll know a bit about me so I won't go into alot of that here. I'm like most of us. Travel, friends, dining out, movies, are afew of the things I enjoy. A typist, I am not LOL. I continue my quest to find a kind, generous, compassionate man who is more interested in finding someone to spend the latter part of life with than one who is hung up on body type. A man I can talk to long in to the night and trust with my very soul. We all have memories but they shouldn't over shadow the new lives we are trying to build. Email, wink or IM and I'll reply -one way or the other :-)
Take care..

Date a woman from United States. I am looking for a liberal minded creative man who is unconventional and has stayed friends with the majority of his former relationships (like myself..they have ended amiably).
Reliable. Relationships should be the primary focus of your life as they are mine. (companions as primary). In affairs of the heart, he must allow for a relationship that has plenty of time to develop. A healthy partnership demands words of love and encouragement on both sides. I prefer 'intimate informality' such that our partnership has a chummy and casual feel. I prefer a man who is attentive and independent. I admire a man who is consistently and tangibly working toward a goal. My companion is down to earth AND creative.

. Wow, I'm kinda wild sometimes but not in a mad way and I love to laugh. Actually, my whole family thinks they're funny but I can't tell a joke to save my life. I laugh too much and can't get the punchline out. I'm a bit outspoken at times but never want to hurt anyones feelings and am ashamed when I do. I cherish my friends want to give all I have and more when my friends need some help or comfort.
Apparently I don't look my age I know I don't feel my age so there you have it.
I love to go out dance, go to movies, galleries, theatre, concerts as well as base football games. Serious Niner's Giants fan here. Although, I don't get to see much on tv anymore with my work schedule but I did get to see that amazing playoff game last post-season. Yup, you guessed it, I lived in S.F. before moving to Tucson.
I love going out to eat but I also love quiet times at home cooking together. I have a huge grill to prove it.
Mel Brooks movies make me cry I'm laughing so hard. Oh my goodness, just thinking about "Blazing Saddles," makes me smile
I'd like to meet someone whose outgoing, sure of himself, passionate and compassionate. I love animals and so must you.
I'm looking for someone who can stand on his own but wants to share himself with me. Honesty, respect, candor and some amounts of pda too!
I love working most of the time and would never really care for being "taken care of," so I do like my independance to a point.
Travel isn't a big deal to me "cuz I'm an Air Force brat and I've lived in California, mostly northern, and a couple places in Ohio as well as 2-3 year bouts in Japan. I love the style of art and living. My home is very Japanese influenced inside. However it doesn't mean I wouldn't love to do some. Europe ( especially Spain) and Africa are on my list of places to go.
I'm larger than I like but I workout almost daily and would like someone who cares about their health and works on it even if their body isn't perfect. Work in progress!
So, if this sounds like someone you're interested in. lets try. Could be fun.

. I work nights so there isn't much of a social life right now...I like spending what ever time I have with my favorite small person who goes by the name of Joseph(one of my grandsons)..I enjoy my walks with my dog...when I do get a chance to go out I meet with my friends and enjoy a shot or two of JC..

. I'm a tall, slender, green-eyed blond, irreverent, smart and sassy, funny, fit and attractive. Financially secure.
Would rather play outside than in. Happiest in old dirty clothes, working the garden, renovating, or rough camping.
Not a 'girlie-girl' - I don't have painted nails and don't understand the point of that ??? (If there is a point, why don't men do it?)
However, I do clean up nice and am well aware of the appreciate glances when I choose to do so. I recognize that men are helplessly drawn to beauty, you poor things! I'm looking for one who can happily enjoy that trick of the light, while taking more interest in exploring what lay behind the curtain. Lots behind my curtain. I have an insatiable brain that craves learning new things, experiencing new places, and most of all listening to fresh ideas. I've done a fair bit of all the above.
I love Arizona - the desert and all other wilderness areas. Raised in Scottsdale, but grew up in the larger world - and still growing. I haven't followed the "normal" sequence (college-career-marriage-kids) and I know this can be confusing, even alarming, to those that have. I forged a path that made sense to me personally at the time, making up my own rules along the way. I'm pleased with those choices, fairly comfy in my own skin, independent and self-reliant, but a bit on the lonely side these days, missing the warmth and spice of male companionship.
I own my home, an 1896 Victorian that my ex and I painstakingly renovated. And I don't mean picking out wallpaper, I mean scampering under the floorboards and through tight attic spaces to run new wiring/plumbing, refinishing miles of intricate woodwork, gritty demolition, and endless finish painting. It was the 4th property we renovated (2 other Victorians and a Territorial adobe) and the most fun I ever had!
I'm looking for a tall strong healthy financially secure man who isn't afraid to banter with an intelligent female. Someone to lighten up with, laugh and muse and play and wonder and wander... live in and appreciate the moment - and if it leads to more, that's okay too. Someone who can light up my brain, and then the rest of me - both are equally important. Chemistry plays a part, of course, and we'll have to get within sniffing distance to discern that. But good conversation is invaluable, too, and you can never have enough friends, so what's there to lose, really?
I haven't been out camping and hiking in a while and I miss it a lot! So I'd really like to find a man who feels the same, who wants to get out there and tramp about in Arizona's natural wonders, spend quality campfire time musing about life and inventing new dreams. Arguing over the best way to arrange the kindling, and whether using lighter fluid is really bad form (it is). Whether sleeping in a tent is wimpy over sleeping outside in a bag (it isn't). Pushing the ends of the logs into the flames while discussing whether to put the potatoes near the coals or next to the hot rocks.
No whining! Must have a good witty sense of humor, be open to exploring new ideas while staying sensitive to each other's comfort zones: Give me the high sign, we're out of here! But also challenging each other to step just a tiny bit further out to the edge, to get the better view, while I hold you safe and steady. A man for whom the terms honesty, integrity, and trust mean something, more than nice concept words to include in your profile. I'm not a game-playing femme fatale and don't appreciate the male equivalent, although I do find them amusing, but only for a short time.
If a good bit of the above resonates with you, email me, please don't wink.
(can someone explain the wink thing to me? kinda sorta useless, dontcha think?)
