Matured by life and its challenges, I am looking for that certain something. After 40 years of marriage, I lost my husband in 2022 following a serious illness. Now I am taking on the challenge of starting my life over again. And I am looking for something “special.” I am self-confident, determined, flirtatious, and passionate. I have a strong personality, but I am not pushy and appreciate the finer things in life. I am cultured, cosmopolitan, and in good shape. You should be tall and well-groomed, educated, sophisticated, empathetic, and an animal lover.
