Date men and women from Portola Valley, United States. I love being with people, but also enjoy being alone with someone. Cooking is something I enjoy doing for my friends and family. I'm new in the dating game. I would love the comfort and luxury of being with someone comfortable, caring and trustworthy. Honesty, loyalty and willingness to grow in a relationship are my strong points. I like the word "Gentle Man" - that says it all.
I have been working out the last 6 1/2 years to keep this body in great shape. Would love to find a work-out partner. I am very fortunate to be healthy in body and mind.
Having a wonderful picnic at the beach, park, or wherever is a real turn on.
Dancing cheek to cheek, warms my heart. Holding hands in the movies or on an outing - or just sitting and talking about anything and everything. Getting to know someone - their likes and dislikes. What makes them happy.
I enjoy learning anything and everything, and growing with my education.
I have been told by many that I am pretty and have a nice figure. You'll have to find out for yourself. Was a model in my earlier years.
I'm very self-sufficient, but would like someone with broad shoulders for me to lean on. By the same token, I would like to be that rock for that special someone to lean on.
I'm told that I am the caretaker type - a nester for sure. Love to be of assistance to those in need. I've worked in the legal field for years as a manager and paralegal, dealing mostly in family law matters. This experience has taught me much about relationships and has also taught me a lot about being understanding and forgiving.
My personality is such that I am open to anything new or interesting to learn and/or experience. I am extremely outgoing and friendly.
Very much into my dog and any other pets I come across. Can't stand cruelty to animals or people.
I enjoy my home and taking care of it. It's nice to go away, but oh so nice to come back home.
Writing this description has been difficult inasmuch as I'm really not used to tooting my own horn. However, I have very good values and like myself for the person I have become.
I'm willing to take a chance to further broaden my horizons. It will surely be a learning experience.
I have been a widow for 5 1/2 years after many years of sharing a happy marriage. I miss the closeness of that sharing experience with another person. I am told that when one door closes another opens. I'm looking forward to that door opening.
