Well educated lady is in serious need of some good loving. I enjoy great conversation, good food, and good company.
I am a writer/artist, retired from teaching/counseling. I have been employed by public schools and taught at 4 universities. I love taking classes or just reading and learning. I have published one book myself and co-wrote another that was published.
My son and his wife are at UND and my daughter is in HS. Both graduate in 2013. My son and daughter-in-law will make me a grandmother for the first time in August, 2012.

First date would be a coffee shop or lunch. We'd see how the sparks fly then. Second date would dinner, dancing or something where we could talk. I like movies but you don't get to know each other at one; they're great for snuggling in together and holding hands.
I don't golf but later someone should try to teach me!
Sometimes the best times are just "being" with someone.
*I don't like to dance except slow dances when we hold each other. Leave the fast dances to the kids!

Golfing, deep sea fishing, traveling to places like India or Bali. When I am with the right person, I am willing to try alot more than I will alone.
I would like to go to school to be a chef, maybe at Napa Valley. A weekend workshop with famous authors and artists would be right up there.
The Grand Hotel in Estes Park would require a partner who will "save me"!

I have a daughter in HS so I want to see her successful through college and out on her own.
I have published 2 books and of, course, I'd love to publish more. Creatively, I want to expand my art as far as I can.
I want to experience that wonderful love that rocks you down to your soul. I want to find that feeling and experience it until the day I die. The kind that even when you're apart, you can feel that person and you can't help but smile.
Live life to it's fullest is all we can ask for.

First I look at the face: are the eyes laughing or friendly and inviting? Does the smile reach the whole face?

If someone is into himself, materialistic, selfish, impressing people or into looks, not into growing spiritually, controlling and abusive, I will leave.
I enjoy the physical touch, PDA, just being in the room with someone. I appreciate each person's need for space, but when the day is done, I like someone there to hold me.
Sensitive, passionate, compassionate - you've got me!
