my name is Rose and I'm a passionate, free spirit who is seeking the right friend to share my life with. I'm intelligent, open-minded and like to have fun and enjoy life. I'm seeking a man who is responsible, mature and interesting. Someone who enjoys the art of conversation, romance, and long walks on the beach , I'm intelligent, capable and considered attractive. I'm warm and affectionate and never meet a stranger. I've been described as a "free spirit" in some of my actions and attitudes toward life and love. I respect and appreciate the beauty and wonder of nature, sometimes to the point of awe. I derive a great deal of peace and comfort from it and find it revitalizes my soul and senses. I'm passionate about antiques and have even turned that love into a small business. I have hunted, fished and done quite a bit of camping, but I also have a soft and feminine side. I love beautiful and comfortable things and my home is a tasteful reflection of that love. I've been told I can be brutally honest. I can also be very loving and loyal and want the same in return. My sense of humor can be a little "out there" and off color at times, but all in good fun. I'm interested in finding a friend, an exclusive lover and for now, part time companion. I'm not opposed to a long term, l am really like committed relationship with the right per. l really show genuine respect for people and animals is essential. I'm open to new interests and ideas. If you have a love of antiques and "the hunt" for them we could really hit it off. A nice play or concert, trip to the museum (especially art), gardening (especially herbs), nature walks/rides or camping, a quiet dinner at home and intimate down time all appeal to me. I like a man that is confident and isn't afraid to express himself and ISN'T INTIMIDATED by a woman that is capable of doing the same. My regrets are few, the biggest one being that there just isn't enough time to learn all that I would like to learn or love all that I'm capable of.

My Ideal Person Someone who is enthusiastic, encouraging and
courageous, an intelligent man who has good qualities of life. I need an
respectful man; I have cried a lifetime of tears of sadness without having
anyone in my life. Love is a noble act of self-giving, offering trust,
faith, and loyalty. I would like you to understand that long distance
relationships requires a special willingness and understanding that can test
love like no other type of relationship can. It requires constant
communication and a desire to continually create a strong bond relationship.
