About me and who I'm looking for

About me:

I am intelligent with a good sense of humour and I love to laugh. Those who know me will say that I am kind, caring, giving, affectionate, touchy-feely, sensitive, emotional, nurturing, intuitive, introspective and articulate. I enjoy good conversation but also like being playful. I consider myself to be a tad old fashioned or traditional as I tend to think that consideration, values, manners, etc. still count. I love most music, especially "oldies", doowop, smooth jazz and easy listening. I can be quite passionate about things, be it traveling, nature, music, theatre or my relationship. I do have an appreciation for the Arts and I love Broadway theatre. I have been known to write a poem or two but, these days, it tends to be more of a greeting card style (But hey, who doesn't like getting greeting cards, right?). I also like walking or driving along the water or going nowhere in particular. I haven't done much traveling but I do enjoy it. Day and weekend trips are good too. I am interested in health, nutrition and "alternative" medicine. I finally came out of the Dark Ages and got a digital camera. I hope to do a lot more picture taking. By the way, for those inquiring minds, I really do look like my pics and some of them are relatively current. I am not sure how to describe myself so I will say that I am Rubenesque. I carry my weight in my hips, thighs and butt. I am pear shaped, curvaceous, cuddly, etc. I am working on losing weight but it does take time. I know that there are those out there who are extremely visual and can't get past certain body types...no matter how great the person is. Just wanted to give you a heads up :-)

I'm looking for:

I think that friendship is the basis for a solid relationship. Passion doesn't hurt either ;-) Let's be honest though, there needs to be "Chemistry" (intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual). I tend to be attracted to intelligent and/or street smart men (Caucasian 56-70) who are witty and have a sense of humour. It isn't necessary to be "on" all the time...quiet times are good too. Emotional intelligence and sensitivity are also great traits in a guy. I would like to find someone who is honest, faithful, communicative, thoughtful, affectionate, patient, understanding and possesses a good heart. I know, you are probably saying...."boy, she's not asking for much, is she?" Well, what I say is.... why not shoot for the moon? LOL As far as interests go, it would be nice to share and learn from each other, maintain those that are ours alone and, perhaps, take on some new ones together. One thing that I have always wanted to do was take ballroom dancing lessons with my mate. I think that would be great fun. I am seeking friendship first. Maybe that is just a way of saying that I am not ready to jump into something too quickly. If the chemistry and communication are there....well....let's just see what happens. I would think that effective communication, genuine caring/romance, honesty and respect are essential to any successful relationship.
