I enjoy being around people but I also like to have some time to myself occasionally. I love my job, especially the opportunity to work with ren. In my downtime, I enjoy going to movies, the theater, on walks, working in the yard and reading (I love book stores!). My friends say I have a good sense of humor. I haven't done much traveling but I would like to do more. Going to a nice restaurant is something I always enjoy.
I have a grown who is married and lives in Alabama. He's a sweetheart and the love of my life even though we live far apart. I have a sister and two brothers who live several hours away and who I see every few months.
My Ideal Person
There are certain characteristics about myself I value greatly and I look for those in a person I date. Those would be: religious faith (not in the wacko, conservative sense, I'm a Presbyterian, we do things "decently and in order" ) appreciation of family without going overboard smothering them. occasionally wanting some individual space for myself (a night out with the girls sometimes). an appreciation of some culture: ballet, symphonies, the theater, the Met (I've never been there!!) You don't have to like all of those but if you're a Tractor Pull, Hells Angels, Nascar or WWWrestling kind of guy, I'm probably not the right gal for you. However, I love movies, eating out, shopping and some other normal things! Since I'm a little intense and occasionally lose perspective, I enjoy being around a mate that is more laid back than I am and uses humor to remind me what's really important in life! I don't like to rush into important decisions but at the same time it's nice to be reminded by someone I trust not to fear making changes when I have done my homework and it's time to take action. I would like to take some classes on things that interest me in the future and I would want to be supported in that by my mate. The most important thing I'm looking for is a kind person who isn't afraid to be a good communicator and listener when there are issues between us that need to be resolved. I have been working on improving those characteristics in myself and know that's an ongoing process! I love children but don't plan to have any more of my own. I would pay for some grandchildren though!
