I'm bubbly, enthusiastic, spirited, friendly and warm hearted. I have always been extremely sociable and carve out opportunities to meet new people at home and at work.I love stimulating discussion but am an keen listener & fiercely loyal & committed to my friends.I adore reading & my very alternative bookclub! I studied sociology at university,went on to be a social worker and completed my post grad.Then focused on being a mother to 3 wonderful children in Central London.As they grew up,I started & now run a thriving tennis/football centre & adore my work, especially meeting and getting to know really interesting customers,a real highlight of running a business.I want to improve my work-life balance & take more time off.I'd love to meet a fun[not too straight and conventional!] man to share things with - going for walks, eating out, cinema, going on holiday. I look forward to the prospect of finding out about each other. My children have left home(youngest is 25) & I suddenly feel a new lease of life.A chance to make some changes. I'm basically content with my life, proud of my children, but I miss the feeling of being cherished & loved,of being special to somebody. I happy being the age I am (55) and feel a sense of freedom. People tell me I look young for my age, still have longish hair & wearing short skirts like I did in my 20's.Maybe its time I started growing up! But despite best efforts,I remain girlish, non-conformist & still do the kind of things we did back in the 60's! I do things spontaneously, definitely don't feel the need for early nights..happy to go out and have fun at any time when the opportunity arises. Perhaps I shouldn't be saying all this, instead I should be calming down a bit. Well we'll see how you guys out there respond to this soul-search. Not keen on boring old farts but AM keen on bright sparky intelligent sensitive men. Do you exist?
