In Her Own Words
About Her
Life generally throws us a few curve balls, though being positive helps and I'm hoping to find the person who like me sees the cup at least half full.
I prefer friendship, before embarking on a more fulfilled relationship, which takes more than just a couple of cups of coffee.
There are many areas of life where balance is needed. I am in the throws of exploring how to make the most of my days since being retired and moving to the Cape, which was initially for family reasons. There is so much to see and do, so many places to visit.
New interests can be introduced to an open mind, we dont necessarily all run around doing sport and travelling when in a new life dynamic. I am looking to explore surroundings, share ideas and interesting general conversation which is the grounding to a mutually caring relationship.
I enjoy walking, dancing for exercise which, in certain groups I have been in, hasn't always required a partner, though to have one is a bonus. If you are interested in walking trails, visiting the theatre if there is something worth seeing, walking by the beach or just having some quiet time together, maybe we should meet and compare. We all need space to do our own thing, not everything can be together. I myself need to find a hobby since being retired.
About Her Ideal Match
Reasonably independent man; sincere, honest.
Able to be spontaneous, enjoys 'living' whether exercise or interests and sees the glass as half full if not full. One cant be racing around all the time, quiet times are comforting to the soul.
Let's see what transpires.
