I am looking for a long term relationship!" That would be a man that I share common interests with -- but -- someone to also be intimate with. I'd like to have a soul mate; someone that I can call in the middle of the night if there is something bugging me. Don't worry, my day begins at 0300 and ends around 1700, so the likely hood of that happening is slim to none. I'd like to find a man that likes to eat out and experiment with different cuisines, not quite like Andrew Zimmerman, but close. I love gangster movies, very few "chick" flicks.

Even though I work in a male dominated job, I am still pretty feminine. I try not to bring work to the house and vise verse. I have an "Old World," 1950 type of personality when it comes to my mate. I still believe in Sunday dinners with the family and doting on my mate. I enjoy giving my mate full body massages, head to toe, front to back. While I am relaxing them and easing the stresses from their day, it also relaxes me. I like taking the backseat at home, letting my better half make decisions, because that's ALL I do ALL day long!! Its refreshing to hear someone say, "Baby, take it easy, I have this!"

I like tall men. Maybe its because I'm so darn short!! If you can't tell, I have a wonderful wit. I am warm, loving, giving, and understanding. My plate is full, so I don't expect yours to be anything less. Baggage doesn't bother me -- however-- drama does!!

Physical attributes aren't as important as clicking emotionally or mentally.

My biggest task with my life is teaching my daughters how to proceed with their lives in a positive way. By being a strong stoic woman, this teaches them not to put up with a lot of crap from anyone.

I work in a predominately male role, have done so for 30 years, so dealing with the opposite sex in such an intimate manner has given me an insight on men... much more than most women. I feel as though I've make great strides in understanding the complexities of men and am able to decipher their core being. Sounds like a espionage .... doesn't it.

I work hard, but darn it, I play hard too. I enjoy doing things from the mundane to the extreme. I like and enjoy outdoors things to a night at the theater. Dress me up or down and I feel just as comfortable

I am really excellent at multitasking. I am a person that handles stress at ease. You could come home, surprise me with 10 friends and say can you fix dinner. I would never fuss, complain, but go into the kitchen and fix a great meal. I enjoy cooking. I LOVE giving massages; front and back! I enjoy taking the back seat and having someone else make decisions for me.

Most people notice my shocking red hair ..... enough said!!

My favorite books are ANY biography, or Zane books. (kind of kinky like that).
Music: OLD SCHOOL R &B and Jazz.
Food ... I'm up to trying anything. I have a saying, "To Grow as a Person, You must try new things."
Movies: Without a doubt ... Gangster. Love them. GoodFellas, God Father I and II; Paid in Full, Scarface, American Gangster, etc

My two daughters. Anything else is expendable.

What plans God has for me ... finding that "right man" to settle down with.
My life is pretty simple.... I don't sweat the small stuff.

sleeping!! I put in long hours at work and by Friday I am exhausted; however, if we have plans .... I'm there!!!

that is privileged information .... to be shared behind closed doors and when the time is right.

I will return your message ... only if I feel as though it is a match and you are over the age of 40!! If you live more than 150 miles away, I won't respond nor will if respond if you are my children ages . Guys, I'm looking for a relationship, not a pen pal or to be someone's second mom or nurse maid...LOL
