I became a young empty-nester at age 41 and three years later, I am still trying to figure out what to do with the free time. I worked 60-70 hours a week while raising my girls on my own and never really went off on my own until last year when I went to Hawaii for six months.
It's been an exciting time, that's for sure. I have developed a taste for red wines and pale ales; begun to visit wineries around Oregon and I take mini vacations to Vegas, Palm Springs, Seattle, Boise, and Denver often. I have relatives and friends all over, but oddly enough, very few closeby. I would rather travel with a companion and would love to find someone who has some time to do things with. The few friends that live nearby have young families and work too much.
I'm likely perceived as being a little young for this site, but my life experience tells another story. I've have one love of my life and I am hopeful for one last love, but am certainly not putting life on hold while I wait...search...hope...and pray for on occassion.
My Ideal Person:
Every once in a while, I think about how my life would be if you were in it, here with me now, in the present, with common goals for the future, making memories to reminisce upon when we are old and feeble.
Every once in a while, I wonder how it is that we will meet, and every once in a while, I find myself searching for you. I look for you while I am out and about, in crowds and in unlikely places. Maybe we have spotted each other in passing and I was too shy to make eye contact or maybe you and I have not yet crossed paths, so still, I search.
I have pondered my wants, needs, and desires and asked those who know me best to describe the traits which I possess. Careful words on paper describe the multifaceted complexities of my personality and what it is I search for have been posted for you to find, and yet still, you elude me.
When I dream of you, I feel you rather than see you. You are a man of integrity, strong and yet somehow vulnerable to the emotions I evoke. When you are near, my knees go weak, my breath catches in my throat. It is your smell, your touch, your heart and soul, the humor you possess, and the way you look at me that make me feel this way. I am grateful for each day with you, to have yet another chance to show you how much you mean to me.
