I'm looking for the real deal – not someone I can spend the rest of my life with, but the one person I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life without. (No, that's not a veiled suicide threat.) I offer nothing less than immeasurable love, unquestioning trust, unfailing respect, and unbridled passion, and I expect nothing less in return. I've spent a lifetime learning this is an extremely tall order, but I figure if I can do it, there must be a guy out there who can do it, too. Clearly I'm still looking...

I hear a lot of men complain that women should come with instruction manuals. I'm one of the few who do, and I promise it's easy to read. No complicated flow charts and very little guesswork. I say what I mean and mean what I say. (Ooo… novel concept.) I'm lighthearted, easy-going, fun-loving, and happy. We all have bad days, but I never stay down for long. I can find the humor in almost any situation. Politically, I have Republican leanings, and am a staunch supporter of our military personnel. I enjoy everything from movies and musicals to monster trucks and white-water rafting. I prefer daisies over roses, water over wine, and silver over gold. (There's a page from the aforementioned instruction manual.)

I'm attracted to intellectual guys, which unfortunately often translates to "moody" or "brooding," neither of which need apply. I want a guy with a zest for life, who is also generally happy and won't resent me for dragging him off the couch on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. He's active, but not necessarily athletic. He's able to carry his end of the conversation effortlessly. He's quick-witted and charming, goofy and quirky, confident and sincere. He needs to be sensitive without being thin-skinned, passionate without being hot-blooded, light-hearted without being cavalier. He needs to believe that no relationship can survive without mutual love, trust, and respect. Bonus points if he can fix my car or do home remodeling! (I'm mechanically challenged.)

My happily-ever-after involves marriage and children. If the concept scares you, I certainly respect that, but please respect that my casual fling days are over. Please, no hunters and no one with kids.   Send me a message!
