I am still living in Ohio but plan to retire soon and head for warmer winters . I still have no destination in mind as I have visited many places and have enjoyed most areas. I have been widowed for 14 years. Kids are are their own. Need someone to love me as much as I do them. I Still have many of my 25 year old thoughts, but don't jump as quickly anymore. I really enjoy an independent woman who is not afraid to make decisions. I love women and I especially love independent women who want love from their partner and not domination. I have found that a successful independent thinking woman can indeed be your best friend and lover. I am not a milk toast, but I do know that it is better to be on an compatible basis with your mate than to try to dominate them. "Knowledable people, equally informed, seldom disagree. I love to talk to, hold, kiss and be with a woman who knows she doesn't need me, but wants me. I would like to meet an independent woman who is settled and without baggage except to see the world with, and is happy.
