Date men and women from United States. I am a 25 year widow who raised our son. I have recently retired and am now free to travel or take day excursions. I like to read a lot. I would like a relationship that would include dining out and visiting many areas available. I am finacially stable and do not want someone who is looking for me to support them. My friends describe me as a "survivor". My career was spent nurturing, encouraging, and facilitating progress for other people, therefore I am the most comfortable in that role. However, I do enjoy being treated like a lady and being made feel "I'm so special".
