Dreamingoutloud, 59

Stevie Nicks is still seeking hers, and so am I! Sweet, sunny, romantic, sensuous, cuddly, affectionate, easygoing but a bit neurotic, with mushy heart. Adore animals, books and music. Interests include travel, libraries, historical sites, castles and cathedrals, spicy foods, autumn, fireplaces, old photographs, fresh herbs, Victorian boots and flowing skirts, ocean cliffs, "alone" time, cooking, arts festivals and nostalgia concerts. Not much of a shopper, but enjoy estate sales and antique shops. Not materialistic and have little patience for those who define themselves by their latest acquisition. I don't do anything half-heartedly. I guess I'm a romantic, but more hopeful than hopeless. My job is transportable and relocation is a definite possibility, though I'm in no rush and would like to develop a real "friendship" foundation first.

I honestly don't care about how big or small you are, how much money you have, what type of car you drive or what you do for a living. Give me warm puppy tummies, potted pansies, merry family holidays, and brie and pears on a park bench (while people-watching!) over diamonds, orchids, 5-star restaurants and your vintage Lagonda - you will hold my heart forever... Prefer traditional gender roles and hope there are some gentleman left!

I DO care that you are at least *socially* liberal, live-and-let-live, kind, empathic and compassionate, either love animals or can tolerate my love for them with a smile, whether you can trust and love without reserve, and you must be able to see the lighter side of life at least most of the time. I can find the humor in just about ANY situation and I gotta tell you, an amazing number of people find that very annoying, as though they WANT to be upset! If you're a glass-half-empty sort, I'll buy you a smaller glass so we can fill it up.

Don't keep me waiting. WRITE! At this point, I want to hear about YOU!
