Date women from United States / Arkansas / Benton, 47 year old

Date someone special from Benton, United States. I think it's funny that "Match" has a 200 word minimum in this section... I guess it's their way of encouraging us.
Just a few things about me... I adore animals. I am a classic rocker, but throw in some Michael Buble, B.B. King, Diana Krall, Louis Armstrong, Tim McGraw, or Ella FItzgerald any day. I have way more creativity, resourcefulness, and motivation than I do money in the bank. I am fairly intelligent, but I utilize my common sense more often. I can cook - and I might learn to have fun with it someday if I could prepare stuff for folks who actually enjoy eating and aren't picky. Baking is another story - totally LOVE to bake...and I'll eat all that stuff myself if I have to. Spontaneity is a gift to the normal, daily schedule that should almost always be taken advantage of - NO regrets!! Pretty much a multi-tasker when it comes to watching tv... not much to view that holds my attention for a full 30 minutes or hour. I always look forward to great conversations in fun restaurants. I am a closet grammar snob...will never, ever correct anyone - but I notice. Often, when I leave the house, I think "what would Stacy and Clinton say..." and sometimes when I'm at Home Depot, I wish I would be approached by a designer and construction crew... so I guess I DO watch a little tv. :)
I really like people who are kind to other people. That's pretty simplistic, I guess, but that's what I've grown to really expect out of the friends that I choose to have. If you are generally a selfish, angry, or pessimistic person, I would not care to be your friend. I also REALLY enjoy getting out and doing things... Home is awesome, and relaxing is great, but not ALL the time. Probably the best way to keep me in line is to take me fishing...or shopping... or something!! (haha) If you have great eyes and pretty teeth that is a plus. :) And please, please, PLEASE have a sense of humor. Absolutely cannot live without that.

Meet a woman from Benton, United States. I am looking for friendship foremost. I would love having a good guy friend that we would feel so comfortable together that we are completely transparent with each other ~ which is the best gift you can give a friend. To just be 'real' together and at ease, feeling totally 'at home' with each other and free to laugh our heads off and enjoy some exciting adventures as well as some simple commonplace activities. Even the simplest of activities are off the charts in my book when hilarity is involved! Lol! : ) 'Laughter is the shortest distance between two people. To laugh with others is one of life's great pleasures. A day without laughter is a day wasted.' ~ Victor Borge. I desire a good male friend to be there for each other ~ to share the ups and downs of the blueprint of our life's journey. To prove my point, I am willing to help you guys with your profiles and photos! I've been out with a lot of you and you all look soooo much better in person! ; ) Lol! Ha! Ha! Seriously, you know I'm serious about wanting to be friends if I offer to help you make your profile better! I believe a solid relationship is built upon friendship first, given the gift of time ~ where both parties mutually respect and enjoy one another's company. I don't want to 'date' ~ I just want to start a friendship with no pressure or stress ~ just sheer fun ~ just you being 'you' and me being 'me' ~ What a novel idea! Lol! I believe friendship first allows authenticity and genuineness to emerge much more so than to rush into the realm of dating ~ much less the wild and sometimes zany world of online dating! I am an adventurous, enthusiastic, honest, humorous, optimistic, thankful lady with a spirit of an explorer living inside ~ living life to the fullest, believing that all things are possible. In short ~ I enjoy life! I am goal oriented, but play hard too! I plan to do a lot more international travel and experience high adventure in the near future. I love to explore new places, meet interesting people, and try new activities. I focus on the humorous side of life. I enjoy playing cards and games, music and dancing, acting, going to plays, enjoy live music whether it be the symphony or a band, playing tennis and basketball, watching baseball, basketball, and hockey games, horseback riding, snow skiing, writing, drawing, painting, canoeing, jet skiing, walking, jogging, running, hiking, deep sea fishing, the mountains, the ocean and boat riding ~ just to name a few! Ha! ; ) I would love to learn golf. I plan on taking more ballroom dance lessons, salsa, latin dance, and country dance lessons. I would love a dance partner! I have long awaited play dates in the sky and water beckoning me ~ sky diving, hot air ballooning, scuba diving, and sailing! I value people and cherish my friends and family. I am eternally grateful to God for all the blessings in my life that He so graciously continues to send my way in the form of good friends and good experiences. I would enjoy the company of someone who views his life as one great adventure after another ~ someone who hasn't lost his zest for life and has a good energy level to keep up with me! Ha! ; ) I enjoy friends that are positive, upbeat, who possess an advanced sense of humor and a kindred spirit of a thankful heart. My single life is wonderfully sweet, exciting, and full already - rich with relationship and exciting adventures. My life would be even more rich and blessed to share some outstanding, memorable moments with a wonderful male friend! If you are willing to take things slow ~ build a solid, authentic friendship first and see where it may lead, then feel free to contact me. Life is the first gift, love is the second, understanding is the third. Relationships can't work without understanding. I believe in mutual respect and awe of all of God's creations ~ 'Out of the Park' relationships are worth working and waiting for..... ~

Date a soulmate from Benton, United States. I am a laid back, easy going kind of girl! I enjoy going out and listening to music, going out to dinner and being on the water!! I like to be outside when it's nice and I have all summer off, so I love to go to lake and chill. I'm not a loud," into everything" kind of person and may come across as quiet at first. But around the right people, I can really have a good time! I'm lovin my life right now. Looking for someone to enjoy being around; going to movies, hanging out at home and just being with that person who makes you feel good! Looking for someone who's thoughtful, loving, affectionate, passionate and easy going.

Meet someone special from United States. Get ready....I'm very upfront, in a sensitive manner, so if you can't handle taking or giving honesty you may want to click that "not interested" button :). I'm not going to specify who I want YOU to be because the big man upstairs may have a different idea than me. I will tell you about myself but as we all know....there is always much more to someone than what you read, time normally reveals true colors. I am a Spring, Summer and Fall person and I have to be outdoors during those times enjoying life. I'm not going to say that I only have certain activities that I like outside because I think I would limit myself in discovering new opportunities that someone had to offer. In other words I'm not afraid to step out of my comfort zone. I'm sure you noticed I left out the Winter season....because I don't care much for the extremely cold weather; fortunately in Arkansas I don't have to endure cold weather very long :). One more thing on this topic...I can't handle watching tv for long periods of time, unless it is a Razorback game. I love the Razorback games, tailgating, the atmosphere, the get togethers, cooking out....ANYTHING associated with the Razorback football season.
Now, my personality....I am independent, outgoing, talkative (I do have downtime though....haha), energetic, responsible, honest, respectful to everyone (I dont know the shoes people have walked in and they don't know mine...so don't judge). I'm kind to other people but don't make the mistake and treat it as a weakness, weak is not a word that I have used to this point in my life to describe myself. I prefer positive outlooks on situations so to keep that aspect in my daily life I choose to associate with positive people (every little bit helps :). I am a FIRM believer in God but I do not force my beliefs in others. I show respect for others and their beliefs by not condemning their theories. I'm sure there is more to my personality .... I do know humor and laughter is a trait that is very attractive to me in a person.
I am a first grade school teacher and when I wake up in the morning I feel like I'm lucky that I have a gift to teach. When I leave work I know I have done the best I could because I put effort in my skill. Don't get me wrong...they can be a handful at times... :)
Last but not least, Drama...grrr!! Nobody likes it and I definitely run from it, especially if you BS and are dishonest, which are normally 2 major causes of DRAMA. :)

Date a woman from United States. I am just here to find a good friend that could turn into more. Im not interested in playing games or one night stands. I feel that friendship and chemistry comes first and then see where it leads. Im very much into living life and having a good time. Hate drama and try to avoid it.Im a very passionate and caring person. Looking for someone that has laughter and joy...but most of all a man that has love in his heart.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I'm a very open and honest person I also prefer that in a mate.....no surprises. Friendship is the foundation for beautiful relationships. I've raised my children and really didn't mind putting myself on hold until that mission was accomplished but it is now my time. I would love to meet a strong sincere man who knows what he wants, knows where he is going and has a plan for getting there. He must be a gentleman and know how to treat a real lady

Date someone special from Arkansas, United States. I am a sweetheart. Intelligent, fun-loving, sexy, and independent. I am looking for someone to share life experiences and is not afraid of life. Should have their own mind, and able to communicate. I am sometimes aloof, and withdrawn. My match should be understanding of these times.

Meet a woman from Arkansas, United States. I am mom to three girls (26, 24, and 14) and Nana to a beautiful two-year old granddaughter. My youngest is still at home with me and is my priority. I would like someone who likes kids and will respect my commitment to my children.
I have been single for over 4 years with one serious relationship in there. He had no children and that made it difficult when my grandbaby came along. Over the last three years I have concentrated on myself, children, and finished my degree. I did date periodically during this time but nothing serious. I am not necessarily looking for marriage but I wouldnРІР‚в„ўt rule it out for my future. Initially I would like to find someone to spend time with that shares common interest with me, as well as trying new and interesting things.
As a single mother it is difficult to drop everything and run off. While I do have an adventurous side until my daughter is older, get away trips require planning. I still enjoy little road trips for looks at fall foliage and trying little hole in the wall places. To me it is the company that makes it fun.
Reading is my favorite pastime and can often be found snuggled up on the couch with my Kindle (my favorite gift ever). I love to read all types of books depending on the mood and often have two or three different books going at the same time. Music is an important part of my life as well. I love all types except for Rap and heavy metal. I love classic rock and country music. Secretly I love to listen to The Buzz in the morning driving into work. I love to go out and walk around, love the water (beach, lake).
I am looking for my best friend and someone to share my life with. I would like to have a committed relationship but am not willing to jump into one without taking time to get to know that person first. When I meet someone I click with I enjoy spending time with them but am thoughtful of their space so I am not needy. I am honest, loyal, faithful, and expect the same. I am simple, not materialistic, self-sufficient and able to take care of myself financially. Trust is important and to gain trust that requires full disclosure and honesty. If we spend enough time together the truth will eventually come out so hiding things is silly.
My match will enjoy new experiences and adventures, but also enjoy thunderstorms, rainy Sunday mornings cuddled up reading the paper, drinking coffee and listening to the thunder. IРІР‚в„ўm looking for someone who can laugh, isnРІР‚в„ўt above acting like a kid sometimes, but is a responsible adult when is needed. Life is chaotic sometimes with kids, family, and work but it can be so rewarding. I would love to hear from you so email me and I will answer any questions you have.
