Sherisue, 68

I am a sweet-natured, well-read woman who loves to laugh. I have been alone much too long, and feel I am missing so much by not having someone with whom to share my life.
I am 54, divorced, with three grown children and four grandchildren. What a joy they are!
I am a plus-sized woman, fit and active, and I love who I am. I seek someone who can appreciate that. Life is too short to pretend to be something you're not, or to be unhappy with yourself.
I am quick to smile, and am well-liked and well-respected in my community.
I also am quite mischievous, sarcastic and a tad naughty. I love to banter and flirt, and am more fun-loving than serious.
I love the outdoors, being in or near water, playing board games, doing crossword puzzles and lying out on the trampoline at night watching the stars. I love both traveling and staying home.
I'm open-minded, and think people are inherently good. I am honest, and will answer any questions you have the best way i know how. new ideas intrigue me, and words don't frighten me, so you can feel comfortable sharing with me whatever you wish.
I am looking for a man who is gentle and kind, passionate and fun-loving, articulate and respectful.
I want to touch and be touched, and crave a man who likes to hold hands when walking outdoors, snuggle up watching a movie, or touch the small of my back as he leads me through a door.
Are you someone who can laugh at bad pun jokes because they are soooo bad (my favorite), then discuss the ongoing healthcare debates with equal ease? Will you make me feel safe and cherished, and let me pamper you in return?
I'd love to correspond with you, see if we fit as friends, or more.
