Date women from United States / Arkansas / Hot Springs, 49 year old

Date someone special from Hot Springs, United States. I'm a fun loving, intelligent single mom with 3 beautiful(grown) daughters and two wonderful sisters that I love to hang out with. I believe I'm a woman with a good sense of humor and just a touch a sarcasm. I enjoy being outside doing a variety of things such as gardening, being on the lake, sitting round a campfire with friends and family, riding 4-wheeler but I also enjoy dining out, going to movie, out to listen to a good live band and a few drinks. The bar life is really not for me - not to say I don't ever go out or get a little tipsy I do like just being at home, cooking together, decorating my home, and playing with my precious shih-tzu's. . I love to laugh and want someone to experience life and adventures with.
I'm looking for my best friend, someone to spend time with, doing things we both enjoy. I prefer someone who is easy going and loves to laugh and have a good time with friends as well as just the two of us. Honesty is very important to me. Friendship has to be the basis in any and all situations. A friend is one who has my back no matter what and will be around when life gets real (even if they don't agree with me). I want to be his best friend, make him smile often and share all life has to offer us.
I have been single about 4 years now. A relationship is not a need but a want! I'm very independent but ultimately would like to have that someone special to share interesting conversation and the intimate moments of life.
