Ok, this is my single's ad, so if you are not a man, go back to my home page! :-)

Just in case you skipped my main homepage, (my pictures are there, by the way),I am 50 years young, retired from the Air Force (enlisted), living in Albuquerque, NM but originally from Florida. I'm not exactly an angel, but I am a good person, an honest person and I will commit totally to the right man.  I do have my faults......one is that I smoke.  I don't drink, but I don't care if the people around me do, as long as it 's not in excess. I would like to find a good, honest, caring, gentleman to spend time with. I am looking for someone that is not a party-animal, likes quiet dates such as dinner, movies, etc. and enjoys traveling and sightseeing. I don't do the bar scene........outgrew that years ago! LOL (that's laughing in case you don't know that) ...........so, if you are a heavy drinker we will not get along. If you like a drink with dinner or a glass of wine on occasion, then I don't consider that a drinking problem.  I also enjoy going to a casino occasionally and playing the slot machines.  I do not date men that are much younger than I am, or much older for that matter.  (45-55 is my preferred age range) I would prefer to date someone that has a job (or is retired but financially secure), drives, and does not live with their mother.  Don't get me wrong, I admire a man that takes care of their mother, but when it's the other way around, it usually doesn't work out.  I am NOT a game-player and ask the same in return.  I also prefer not to date men that just got out of a marriage and are either Internet Romeo's or they haven't gotten over their wife yet. (Unless you just want to be friends and you tell me that up front)  I find it a waste of time to get interested in someone that is not interested in a *real* relationship and can't seem to tear themselves away from their computer once they do find someone they enjoy dating.  I don't mean that I would expect you to stop contact with online friends, but if you still feel the need to scout out the Internet for more women to meet while dating someone, then you are not for me.  I am not necessarily looking for marriage, but would not turn it down if the right man came my way. I also must mention that if you are looking for a woman with money, you need to look elsewhere because I don't have any. lol I am not looking for someone to take care of me, but I expect a man to be helpful and considerate of my needs. I am old fashioned and believe that a man should open doors, pay for dates, etc.  I guess it's a generational thing! LOL  I like movie's, romantic dinners, cuddling by a fireplace, snowball fights, travel and sightseeing, gardening, interior decorating, country crafts, flea markets, and am easily entertained.  I love a man that can make me laugh, so a good sense of humor is a must!  I like all kinds of music except RAP, hard rock, and hardcore Country music.  I am not much of a dancer unless it's slow dancing and I don't do the the two-step. I am not an avid reader or church goer, and I do not ski. ( putting that in because I get asked that a lot). I am also NOT thin.  You should be able to tell that from the pictures. I am overweight, and I don't mind if you are too , as long as you are not more than 20 pounds over.  I am a southern girl through and through! I expect to be treated with respect and will do the same in return.  My son is disabled due to Spina Bifida and he is the most important person in my life.  He is very intelligent, a great kid, and lives in the dormitory at UNM.
