About Me:

I am a bright, warm, affectionate, tactile woman, looking initially for a good friend who, if circumstances and chemistry are right, could become much more. I am not looking for an exit from my happy, companionable marriage. But, ultimately, I am seeking a relationship - key word - that is more than 'no strings fun', which, to me, implies the most fleeting level of acquaintance. I am seeking someone in my life who is relatively long-term and who, emphatically, is NOT a stud! I have absolutely no interest in being just a notch on your bedpost - so no players required. We need to be on the same wavelength and enjoy the delightfully humorous aspects of life - and would also like someone who is warm, bright, caring, sensitive, a good listener as well as a talker. A more mature relationship always appeals - I love the quiet confidence and, generally, realistic expectations of most older men. I am looking for someone who is not in any great rush, who is patient and kind, gentle and realistic. Would love to meet someone who enjoys great books, excellent films, interesting travel, good food and wine. Be inspiring. Flirt with me. I am absolutely not hung up on people's looks. What is more important to me is to feel an empathy, an understanding, a sense of similar values. But, naturally, there does need to be a mutual spark of desire in order to ignite a relationship - and that cannot be engineered. My best features - I'm good, relaxing company, very affectionate, and have a great sense of humour. I am kind, accepting and an attentive listener.

Ideal Partner:

For me, a compatible personality wins over looks - if we can talk and laugh together then it's an auspicious beginning. The qualities that are important to me are: warmth, someone tactile, bright, sophisticated, literate, emotionally secure and mature. Especially mature in attitude. I am not looking for a string of contacts, or a player, but for someone special - someone genuine, nice, comfortable with themselves and their life, articulate, honest and able to be serious when the occasion demands . I like kindness, intelligence, a dry sense of humour, a quick wit and genuine warmth. I have had an extremely long-term affair previously, which was wonderful and entirely discreet - but, sadly, circumstances changed.
