Joie de vivre~ essential....
IT'S NOT THE FIRST DATE THAT'S INTERESTING...IT'S THE SECOND!!!
This sums up my "boxes"~ Looking for "The One" who navigates seamlessly between fun and serious; intimacy and sexuality(there is a difference); romance and real life; smart and "smart alec"... is this you???
Please be tall; unflinchingly honest; willing to compromise ; educated; values great conversation/communication; laughter; fun; and have a really GREAT HEART....
After some interesting relationships,I realize that I prefer the man who is confident in who he is today. Not looking for someone who is trying to recapture missed college adventures,but looking to create new and exciting ones with a like partner. And,who wears those attractive laughlines around his eyes and on his face proudly---there is truly nothing sexier than a sense of humor and intelligence!

Dating is teaching me a lot about myself,but I am a work in progress and find myself in somewhat unfamilar territory online,so if you don't believe and practice THE GOLDEN RULE, please pass me by....
Learning not to overthink.I recently read something I love (on a man's profile no less), " I want to be a priority,not somebody's option." As far a relationship goes, I just want to start at point A and see what happens,but his assessment makes sense--- I WANT to be a priority while exploring....
I have come to the conclusion that the dating pool is overflowing with smart,funny,attractive men who are 5'8"!! Oh,to be 5'7"---but alas, I am tall! Drawn to TALL,clean shaven,educated professional type...who love the outdoors and real conversation.

It is a new day,not exactly where I planned to be all those years ago,but enjoying the path before me AND this time enjoying the future one day at a time.
I am intelligent, fun loving, quick witted,affectionate, self confident ... and more than comfortable in my own skin!
Still believe in the fairy tale,but not seeking the prince---looking for the "fun,intelligent frog"(so to to speak) whose warts (or life experience ) will mesh with mine....We are really not going to change much at this stage of life. Not seeking to be rescued,merely share some great new experiences with a like minded man....Beyond that---who knows!
There are a lot of places I like to travel to and explore---love small coastal towns,antiquing,art fairs and galleries,trying local wineries(source of my user name after enjoying those outings,but I am only a light drinker) and hiking in the beautiful N GA mountains (there is so much beauty in our own "backyard",so grab your hiking boots and let's go). Or, let's catch a college basketball game(my son plays and is 6'11")-it is a passion of mine....Dream place to visit is San Francisco. Seeking to share these and many more adventures in the company of an intelligent man with a great sense of humor...spontaneous nature a plus!

Not much of an email girl,still prefer real voice...the voice tells a lot!!So let's talk...WHY WAIT!
Please be passionate and joyful about this journey called life,even on tough days,I am!
