I'm a divorced, Jewish mom, 48 (taken for around 30) with thick wavy golden brown hair, big blue eyes and a nice figure. I don't smoke, and I occasionally have one glass of red wine with dinner or one glass of champagne on special occasions. I'm a hard-working Help Desk Manager and also a published author (3 poetry books with a non-fiction one in the works). I spend my free time with my son, close friends, family. I enjoy plays, movies, long walks by the beach reading, writing, computers, photography, museums, art galleries, and many other things. I go through periods of trying online personals and then giving up for a while as I just can't find someone with a mutual compatibility or chemistry. So here I go, trying it yet another time. I am a very strong, independent woman who is very down to earth, honest, and romantic. I want to meet someone who is intellectual, a great communicator, emotionally available, financially secure in his own right, who has kids of his own and understands the priorities of a parent. I love my life but it would be nice to have someone special to share the rest of it with! Not sure I want to get married again, but looking for a "boyfriend for life."
