Hello! I'm Paige and thank you for reading my post. I'm officially looking for a girlfriend. I've always sort of been looking for a special connection, but I guess by saying "officially" I mean I'm being more assertive in my efforts.

As mentioned in my title, I'm 43. I'm very active and take care of myself. Health and fitness are important to me, but I'm not afraid to enjoy great food and I'm lobbying to get wine added to the food pyramid ;) I'm all about balance in life!

I love to read, hike and watch movies. I'm a beach girl, whatever that means! I'm naturally curious and a researcher. I can dive into product reviews like nobody else. If we lived close to each other, I find that great conversation over great food with a great view hits the spot every time!

I'm happily married with kids, and my husband is supportive & encouraging of this 'adventure.' We have been married for over 20 years. Our relationship has survived, well, the difficulties of being married, money issues, job layoffs, family drama, etc. We are solid and in a great spot. This is not an attempt to try to fix or mask or even run away from something.

He has been engaged in a few conversations with women, but we have not opened things up for him fully. While I'm looking for partner for me, it is important that you and my husband are friends. He's a great guy, very attentive and a strong provider. I wouldn't ask my partner to be friends with him if I wasn't confident it could work.

I'm open to keeping this online if you are not close to the FL Panhandle or travel here on occasion. I realize it's hard to find people, in general, let alone if they are close or not. If we keep this online, we will need to verify we are real and find some common ground. Attraction is important to me on all levels. I'm also going to ask that you keep up your end of the conversation. If you struggle to find availability to commit time to me, it's not going to work.

Lastly, I'm an open book. I'll share anything you want to know about me or my situation. I'm learning and trying to find the right balance of fairness to my husband, to you and, of course, to myself. I'm not going to mislead you in any fashion and I want transparency to be established early on. Above all else, I want this to be something that enhances both (you and I) of our lives.

Thank you for reading :)
