I am retired from the medical profession and am a bit of an introvert. I can be somewhat reserved, especially in a group and prefer one on one companionship to large social gatherings. Still, I think that most people would find me friendly and easy going. I am healthy and active and like to swim laps, hike or bike several times per week. I am a nature lover and also enjoy canoeing, gardening, bird watching and just about anything that allows me to play outdoors. Indoors I enjoy reading, quilting, cooking and using the computer. I can be a real tomboy and don't mind getting dirty but I also enjoy dressing up in heels and looking nice for my guy. It is more my style to be sipping a brew and grilling on the patio than sipping champagne and eating canapes at the country club. I worked hard in my career and was moderately successful so that now I am financially secure and can truly enjoy the freedom of my retirement. I have been divorced for more than 25 years and have lived alone so this is a lifestyle that works for me. Still, it would be nice to meet a long term companion who also enjoys the outdoors or would like to dine in or out, go to an occasional play or music performance or just go explore some new place.
My Ideal Person:
My ideal person would be a man who is healthy and active and has the time and emotional availability to give to a relationship. I am pretty independent and do like my space so my ideal partner would be independent and happy enough in his own life to not need constant togetherness. He would be someone who enjoys a woman's company and has some reverence for that great man - woman bond. Someone intelligent and confident who is financially secure and maybe has been a bit of a risk taker. A sense of humor is a must and if he is someone who marches to his own drummer rather than go with the norm, that's even better. My ideal person would be at a time in his life where he is ready to seek out something new in a relationship, have fun with it and want to work (or actually play)towards getting to know one another.
