I am probably less mature than I should be at my age, but you are only as old as you feel. I am honest, love my life, but I am missing a friend, soulmate and perhaps a lover. I am independent, hate pretense, not at all interested in a controlling or aggresive mate. I have 3 grown up children living away from home, but are still a large part of my life. I love being out in the boat, fishing, swimming, walking my dog on the beach, going out to dinner. I love to be spontaneous and like my mate to be the same, I also enjoy a relaxing time at home, where I like to cook, read, us the computer and garden.
