About me: I am on the shy side until I get to know someone, then I can be a chatterbox, as my Dad used to say. I love children and animals, reading, working in my chosen field, music, biking, beauty of the outdoors, horses and farming.

Described by friends as sweet, kind, quiet and a gem of a lady with a gentle disposition. I'm a down to earth country girl, loyal, faithful and raised on a farm with many old fashioned values.

Also, very family oriented. Looking for long term commitment leading to marriage based on building a foundation of trust, honesty, and total effective communication.

One has to be friends first and have respect for the other person, the time and effort to build a relationship and respect the relationship.

There are many steps in developing a solid committed relationship before worrying about what the other person looks like in the morning.

SO, THEREFORE: FOR YOU GUYS WHO SEND ME YOUR CHEAP HALF NAKED TOWEL SHOTS OF YOU IN THE MORNING, AND YOU PLAYERS, YOU HAVE YOUR PRIORITES BACKWARDS WITH THIS GIRL... TAKE YOUR GAMES AND GET LOST!!!

Gentlemen, of all ages, looking for "Intimate Encounters" or Younger Gentlemen, looking for an older woman you hope to get or broaden your sexual experience from, please look elsewhere, I am not interested. I never was, when I was your age, nor, will I ever be.

I am ONLY looking for serious minded gentlemen leading to marriage. Also, Gentlemen, if you are ambivient to/about your ex, Please make sure you have finished all of your business with her, before you start a relationship with me.

It is not fair to start something with some one, for 4, 5, 6, etc. Months, get serious with them, propose to them, get their consent then either say "Uh, I really love my ex" or to disappear w/o a reason.
I'm looking for: A person who is quiet, reserves judgement,not prejudiced(racial), loves animals, children, country living and the outdoors. He should not feel threatened by women in engineering disciplines or if she understands things he doesn't. My ideal guy should be confident and secure enough in himself to be willing to hold hands, kiss, give a hug, walk with his arm around her shoulders and tell a girl in public that he loves her.... EVEN IF THE WHOLE WORLD (including his parents, children and coworkers)IS WATCHING AND HEARING HIM. To me, men who treat their daughters with the same rules they have for their sons,(no double standards), are very impressive. The same goes for the examples they set with their own behaviour.
Courtesy, of my friend Riya, and with her permission to use her words here, I am looking for this: "To look for and to find is one thing, to be able to treasure is another. To WORK things out is the REAL TEST ..." Thank-you.
