Laughter and communication keep me going as does affection, humor and a connection with people. In my 40's I feel confident and happy with who I am and have a zest for life. I appreciate a gentleman who does something simple like holds the door open for me or plans a date together--dinner out, a hike, a home cooked meal etc. I like to give as well as receive, learn from others, and try new things (though I don't do extreme sports like bungee jumping). My family and friends are very important to me as is meeting new people who are energetic, fun, genuine and have a positive outlook on life. Though I'm independent and can hold my own, I do enjoy being in a relationship and look forward to that again.
As an inquisitive person, I thrive on learning about myself and others. If an assertive person challenges me, I rise to the occasion. That doesn't mean I like conflict, but I like to be inspired by someone see an idea from a different perspective. Energetic people with an opinion draw me in rather than push me away. I'm a good listener and also know how to communicate well.
I keep in shape with pilates, weights and cardio but like the sunshine and the beach more than the gym. I like to ski but prefer the apres ski these days, love tennis and hiking and a walk on the beach. I can wear a little black dress and sexy heals(love high heals) as easily as I can wear yoga pants or jeans. While I appreciate the finer things in life, my daily existence is about the simple things like a beautiful sunset, a good laugh with someone, a movie at home, wine by the fire, a good workout, a great game of scrabble, a passionate kiss etc.
I am drawn to men who are outgoing, smile a lot, are confident, have an opinion, and communicate well. Overall I enjoy connecting with a man who is mentally, physically and emotionally available and enjoys life.
