I'm looking for love, is this the right site? What do I say about myself..I was once told that I am the sunshine that brightens up a room when I enter it. I have been told that I'm too nice, too trusting, and too giving. I thought about changing but I like myself the way I am. I am a mother, a grandmother, a teacher, and best friend. I want to find a man who wants me as a best friend first, but more important someone who is searching for a lover and exclusive companion. I am looking for a long-term relationship, marriage, maybe. A physical relationship is important but the emotional commitment has to accompany it.
I like to have fun, dancing, movies, watching sports on TV or at the sports book. I like concerts and picnics, traveling, and warm beaches. I read, write poetry, and would like to someday write a novel.
I am seeking a black man, between the ages of 45-70. Would prefer someone nearing retirement or already enjoying it. Must like grandchildren, and tolerate adult children and want to be actively engaged in family activities.
I choose to go to bed happy and wake up happy, I smile a lot, and try to find the positive in people I meet and situations I find myself in. My belief in happily ever after has gotten tarnish, but I'd sure like to share an as happily as possible ever after with someone.
