GENTLEMAN---Please read all of this that you can! My name is: BEV. I LIVE IN TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN! I am: Divorced, NO KIDS. **NEVER:Ask me for money, gift cards, iTune cards, Amazon Cards, computers or IPhones! It will not happen!! I NEVER loan or give out and of the above!! Scammers you are wasting your time. **Looking for: that last "forever Man" to be with! But I really do not want to marry again. **WOULD LIKE TO FIND SOMEONE IN MICHIGAN, but if I do not, you must be prepared to travel a lot, or move at some point! I really do not want to move anymore. **PLEASE NOTE: Not looking to raise Children! Not going to "have" children! If you have them, hope they are grown or almost out of the house, or only with you part-time. Too old to be a Mom 24/7. I like kids, but did my time as a school teacher. **DISTANCE can be a Big Problem! I speak from experience!! If YOU do not think so, come drive up North in Mich. winters!! I have done "long distance relationships" more than once. Can YOU afford the airfare to date someone? I sure can't afford the Airfare all the time!! Eventually someone has to move. **IF you are MILITARY?,Wonderful! THAT IS JUST GREAT WITH ME! If you are not Military, but also a decent, honest man, that is terrific too. ** JUST MENTIONING: "Many Profiles" on Mingles are fake! I am now watchful, but not negative. **MARRIAGE: I WILL NOT MARRY AGAIN!! Once was enough. Eventually live together--YES! That is a goal. **PHOTO:YOU MUST HAVE A PHOTO!! All of us are visual, admit it. Make it a decent photo. We are adults. Lets not be stupid about it.....please. **MUSIC PLUS ACTIVITIES: Very into folk/oldies,easy listening, lite rock,classic rock music. I've been a performer since I was 16. Have a wide variety of interests(classic cars one of them), and talents.Love to cook. Traveling a bit is nice. Outgoing and know how to communicate. Do not like fighting or drama. Willing to try (almost) anything within reason. Like to talk, but know how to listen. Sense of Humor, very dry! Like people, but know how to live with just myself. Own what I have and not looking for someone else to pay the bills. Would like to share life with someone else. My "Last Forever Man". **YOU: Please really have the time to work on a relationship you "say" you want. **LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS via Computer: Do take work. Months of emails, because you are out of the USA take time and imagination! Are Iffy at best! People seem to quit after a few weeks of typing. Scammer will type for months and then hit you up for cash or iTune cards!! This has been my experience. **PHONES: I DO NOT HAVE A CELL PHONE! No texting! This does NOT mean I do not have a phone!! I have a landline phone and a computer!! ** If you are a heavy drinker or smoker, or biker dude(big time), or into drugs;I am not for you!!! **WORK: I have a job as a guitar teacher and am retired from 25+ yrs of teaching High School! **WHAT I REALLY WANT IN A MAN!: Looking for a friend, a companion,a lover. My last "forever Man"! Hoping he will be a bit romantic, lovable, loving, outgoing, personable, kind, can talk as well as listen. trusting, not jealous, honest, and willing to "LIVE in Michigan", if he is now out of State. Do not believe your partner and you have to be "joined at the hip" 24/7. But seeing each other once or twice a month does not work either. Living together comes way on down the line, after getting to know each other well(at least 6 mo of dating first!). ** Lastly , I am a Lady and expect to be treated with consideration and respect. I will also treat you with kindness and consideration and respect too! ** A little older or younger than me? Fine, but please use reason on this one(10-20 yrs difference does not work!). Sorry this is so very long, but experience has now taught me all this needs to be said. Any other questions? Ask me. Thank you for reading!
