dreaminglite A Woman of Substance

I am a 43 year old single lady with no children. I retired young from a career I loved in teaching due to health issues. I returned last year to my profession and am now tutoring Maths part-time and very much enjoying the challenge of working with teens again!! I am not able to do everything I used to, however, it has made me a stronger, more compassionate person. If you are looking for a tall, leggy blonde who can leap tall buildings in her sleep...then I am definitely not for you *grin*. I have travelled widely and have a love of literature, classical music as well as strolling through craft markets and perusing bookshops. The most important to me is my close friendships and the people I love. I am not a pub/club lady but prefer the quiet company of friends over a coffee or a small dinner party.
I am seeking a gentleman who is a witty conversationalist with a love of the English language. A man who can have conversations beyond the superficial is a must for me, as is a wicked sense of humour. Romance and chivalry are very under-rated and a man who can balance this whilst treating a lady as an equal is worth his weight in gold. A man who can enjoy the company of an intelligent lady and take life semi-quietly as a couple yet has his own interests as well, would be a good thing. I don't see looks as important, however, there is something in a man's smile his eyes and the way he speaks that always lets me know if we could be compatible. I know what I need in a relationship and would like to meet a man who is also sure of himself and comfortable in his own skin...a healthy sense of self is very attractive. I also know what I cannot live with....if you have problems with alcohol, gambling, debt, work or unresolved emotional issues, please steer clear. I would love to meet a man who can treat my essence with gentleness yet empower me and rejoice at my successes as well as supporting me through difficult times. This is definitely a 2-way street...treat me well and it will come back ten-fold! I seek kindness, honesty, inner strength, gentleness, compassion, positive energy and laughter, If you think you are up to the challenge of an intelligent, caring, supportive yet stubborn lady...please contact me. For the right man, I can guarantee I would be the lady he has been searching for. I feel that there is no rush and would like to develop a very strong friendship first, as the right person could be my life-long companion. I believe in Fate and believe that the right person for me is searching for me right now. If you feel you may be that man, what a wonderful future awaits! Due to recent contacts, I must ask you be in Australia and have a photo on your profile

A cup of coffee and a chat to get to know each other better...if we are not a good fit...that is OK too
