Date women from Canada / Newfoundland and Labrador / St. John's, 52 year old

Date a soulmate from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. I transferred back to St. John's in April, after living in central for much too long. I'm a fairly independent person but I won't complain if you want to open doors or pick up the cheque! I'm not the sort who needs to have someone in her life romantically in order to give her life meaning. I've handled things so far. The person I spend the rest of my life with will be my best friend. He should know the difference between PBS and PMS and have read something other than the hardware store flyer. However I do enjoy the hardware store!
I am not your typical female, don't ask me why women do this or that, I have no idea either. I'm not into manipulation and hints, if you want something, ask. The worst I can say is no. Likewise I am upfront with some blunt and sarcasm mixed in there.
okay if you think you are up for the challenge, let me know.

Meet someone special from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. I work very hard at my profession as a high school English teacher, I have three wonderful kids whom I have raised on my own for the past 8 years, am blessed with a great extended family, and generally feel very positive about life. I am poignantly aware that life goes by so quickly, and I want to live it fully. I love learning new things and am generally quite curious. I have been divorced for 8 years but really have not dated much because I have always felt that my kids needed my presence. Now that they are 18, 20, and 21, I feel that it is time for me to take some time. I guess I may be considered somewhat old-fashioned as I am not interested in one-night-stands, and I believe that mutual respect is essential in a relationship. I work in a very creative environment as I also direct school plays, and that is a very big part of who I am. I am a very open individual and I am confident that without honest dialogue, a relationship cannot thrive.
I seek a happy, smart, kind, energetic, humourous, affectionate, curious partner who is loyal, fun-loving, and devoted. I really believe in the power of respectful communication and would like my partner to be committed to that. I like to have fun, and overly - serious or grumpy people won't be a good match for me. I am not fanatical but I do like to eat healthily, exercise frequently, and live a ``clean`` lifestyle. I am not a fan of people freaking out at mid-life and making themselves over with silly cosmetic surgery and I think it usually looks odd, but I do like to dress up, and I am a sucker for a man in a suit as well as a man in gym attire or a t-shirt and jeans. People often tell me that I am very positive and that I am very good at softening life`s blows. I am interested in things such as the impact of social media on human relationships and I hope that I can return to university full-time to study once again in a formal , scholarly setting. I love travel and hope to see much more of this beautiful world. Perhaps this may sound shallow, as I believe that the inner self is key, but I think that elusive `chemistry`` in a relationship is the "glue" for a strong match. Common values are also essential. I want to meet someone to whom I am attracted in body,mind,and soul. That person will be my best friend, partner in crime, and safe harbour.
I am no Diva and do not expect anyone to cater to my whims; I am independent and self-sufficient but I seek a mutual interdependence. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and I would not have survived as a Single Mom if I were! I do not want to become someone's "project" and I have no desire to change anybody else. I am loyal and faithful but I do need my space occasionally, and of course I would imagine that my ideal partner also likes freedom too. If you do not have a photo posted, I will not respond; it's only fair, wouldn't you agree? My idea of growing older does not include sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair!
Finally, I must warn you that I love to dance, and would be thrilled to meet someone who would be willing to enroll in a Ballroom Dancing class with me.
On a peripheral note, I really dislike the question here where people are asked to reveal their income. I think it is crass and I encourage others to decline to reveal this information. Also, I seem to have problems with IM, so if it seems that I am ignoring you, I am not. : )

. It's finally here, ... time to kick back and enjoy those lazy, crazy days of summer! I'm just a die hard romantic gal hoping to find that "Mr. Right" to share those special moments, and even those laid back, everyday times. I know you are out there somewhere! Please,...just no socks with the summer sandals! Lol
I like to be active, and would love to meet someone who would enjoy hitting the gym for a workout, or strength training. I try to get to the gym as often as I can. I really think exercise and healthy living is important, esp as we get older. Now that the warmer weather is here, I'm so looking forward to getting outside and enjoying the great summer weather.
Of course, home is where the heart is! Sometimes special moments can happen while cooking a meal together at home, and sharing a glass of wine , or two! I'm a great cook , if I do say so myself, and I'd love to try my hand at preparing you a meal. If a way to a man's heart is through his stomach,..then I'll give it a run for the money! However, I think a man who knows his way around the kitchen, is very sexy!
I have a great life, great friends, a fulfilling job, lots of outside interests,...but I miss being able to share all of that with a special guy. I refuse to let being single stop me from experiencing life, but it doesn't mean I like doing it alone. I want to find someone to be silly with,... serious with,... romantic with! Someone who finds the joy in the little things, ... from grocery shopping and planning what we'll cook for supper, ... but it would be so nice to share the experience with someone special.
Although I never married, I have been in a committed relationship. And, although I always wanted to be a mom, I was, unfortunately, not blessed with children. I would, however, lovingly accept any children of a partner.
I am also a pet lover, esp dogs.
I love my job as a teacher, and I'm privileged to help shape the futures of the hundreds of kids that pass through my classes each year. I feel honoured when they come back to visit and let me know how they are doing. I also thoroughly enjoy volunteering at my school, running a breakfast program. I really feel the importance of volunteering whenever you can,... it makes the difference in people's lives that you would never believe possible. The smiles you see on the kid's faces really brightens your day. It keeps you going, no matter how tired you are,..just knowing you are making a difference, no matter how small, in someone's life.
Although I do love to travel, and have been to many places in the world, I do feel that home is also very important. I feel I have lots to offer that special man, in terms of keeping a warm, cosy, and loving home where we would both like to return to at the end of the day.
I've grown to love Virginia, and travel there as often as I can to visit friends who live in Chesapeake. I esp love the beach in Virginia Beach.
As for watching sports,...come summer, I love baseball. However watching in the stands beats tv anyday!
I know my special guy is out there, and hopefully someday soon our paths will finally cross.
Like the lyrics from Michael Buble's song,...
"I just haven't met you yet!"
Pictures Please! Only f air,...you know what I look like. No pic,... no reply
