I enjoy playing tennis, and have played just about all of my adult life. I like spontaneous travel and most of all spending quality times with a special someone. Thanks to my grandmother, I know my way around the kitchen very well and enjoy it very much. I like to go to flea markets estate sales and spend the day sometimes. I am looking for a lady who knows what it means to be a full partner in a relationship. Someone who can hold a diverse conversation and understands that we all have an opinion and it is ok to disagree without holding a grudge. Someone who can make me laugh and makes me miss her when we are apart. A Lady that will give from her heart with true love and compassion and an understanding of w****ver the situation may be. She must be willing to accept the same with respect from her mate. We will be flexible and enjoy doing things each other likes and not take everything so seriously. I am looking for a best friend first that will become a companion, a lover, the number one person in my life, second only to the good “Lord” above. Don’t get me wrong. I am not a religious fanatic, but I do know and understand that without the good “Lord” above, all of the strength required to understand and deal with the ups and downs of life would not exist. I want us to make time to watch a sunset, have a picnic or just be together and have quality conversation wherever we may be. Light candles, cook or go out and have that special meal to make someone feel special about coming home to a pleasurable experience. We will respect each other’s need for their own space. Understand that quality conversation is a major part of any relationship and should not be a battle of wits or become antagonistic. We will put love, respect and support into our relationship knowing that we will receive the same in return. I would like for us to be real with each other and understand that our generation has already been there and done that, has had our ups and downs, but we are now ready for a higher quality of life style. One that is based upon honesty, loyalty, being real and upfront with each other, establishing a commitment to each other that we can count on for spiritual, mental, and emotional support. We will not hide behind voice mail, email, and texting when we don’t get our way. We will always be willing to sit down and talk with each other and grow from that situation. I want us both to be physically fit and healthy. Unfortunately, I have not kept my tennis game up during this past winter season, so I am working hard to lose 25 pounds that have attached themselves to me. I want to get back to my fighting weight to not only play tennis again, but so that we can have a long and healthy life together, and I am well on my way to my goal. I know that I have said a lot and I am asking for a lot, but I am willing to give the same in return. If you have taken the time to read this far and I have peaked your interest you may very well be the lady I am looking for. Your new best friend is waiting to hear from you. If not, I wish you well and all the blessings that comes with finding the person you are looking for.
