I'm EDUCATED, affectionate, compassionate and understanding and try to maintain a 'can-do' attitude, an open mind, a heck of a lot of energy, and, ..okay, .....I admit to having a fetish for power tools like "Tim the Toolman Taylor". (Looking for a tool-belt to match my heels.)

I am also self-sufficient, down-to-earth, morally-sound, active, wholesome, and **appreciative** and I don't take my health, the people or the blessings in my life for granted.

I don't want to date 100 men, but hope to find 1 incredible, tender-hearted and honest man w/ *morals* and substance to love for a lifetime as I am seeking my last partner, not my 'next' partner. (He's also deeper than a puddle).

I am a very loyal, giving, patient partner whose relationships tend to be long-term, so please don't contact me if you change partners as often as you change your undies, have a history of addiction, are not yet divorced, still live w/ mom or your Ex, or have *ever* cheated on a partner. Lying (even about your age) is a show-stopper.

In a relationship, *I promise to be* and hope to *find in you* a supportive, forgiving, devoted partner someone to cuddle at night, eyes to gaze into over Fruit Loops in the morning, embracing arms on a bad day, a hand to hold beyond age 75.

I prefer an EDUCATED, yuppish, protective, affectionate, MONOGAMOUS (WHY IS THIS SOOOO HARD TO FIND???My theory on this subject is that I understand that this comes in time, but again, if you meet someone that you get along with really well, why keep looking???? If you click, concentrate on making that relationship last, get to know that ONE person...take a chance.. ) man who is, first and foremost, *kindhearted*, a man who is CLASSY, respectful, stable and diplomatic a man who shares his heart and mind, not just his body.

A man whose smile will lift my spirits, whose kiss will make me weak, whose strength will keep me strong, whose arms will keep me warm and whose mind will broaden my horizons

The first "meeting" is where we are both so nervous.. after talking and texting, a nice common ground place, like a cafe or restaurant would be a great place to meet. This way, there is time to relax and get to know each other better.. and hopefully leave hand-in-hand, a good night kiss on our lips, and a date for another time is made... if there is no "spark" than we both had a learning experience, and good practice for the next time!

Going hiking, to Navy Pier and taking the boat at night to see the skyline, maybe a nice romantic picnic at Ravinia, or cooking together.

Good Looks, Intelligence, Sensitivity, Thoughtfullness

One who is not only educated, caring, sensitive, and passionate about life and love, but someone who is also my lover and best friend. I want to meet a dynamic man; someone who is uniquely beautiful inside and out. Yes, I’m picky. But while I think that looks are important, so much of my perception of beauty is tied to intelligence, humor, compassion, and depth. Someone optimistic, sweet, and strong. Someone that I respect and admire, and that feels the same about me. Someone that challenges me to grow and inspires me to be the best person i can be, simply by his presence. I believe that a healthy relationship depends on honesty, communication, and more communication. That falling in love with someone is drastically different from falling in love with an idea of someone. That loving someone means loving them exactly for whom they are and for whom they aren’t. To appreciate the little things...like holding hands, and that I like to sleep on the left side of the bed. I am looking for someone who is authentic, communicative, HONEST.passionate, healthy, cute, and fun(ny)...and all the other things that make your heart go pitter pat...when you know that the person you’re with has your back as much as you’ve got theirs.
