MissW1 - Independent Lady!

I am new to this so not sure where to start! Single, have my own business, happy in my own skin. Have varied interests ranging from curling up with a good book to surfing, walking my dog, cooking and entertaining. But it would be really great to have that 'special someone' to share things with, whether that be the mundanity of day to day life or planning some great adventure! I love spontaneity and couldn't bear to be with someone who has a rigid routine. Similarly, I would like to meet someone who shares my fun outlook on life, who will be my soulmate and partner in crime! I have a wicked sense of humour which is not to everyones taste! But can also be practical and down to earth when necessary.
I'd like to meet someone initially for friendship. You must be educated and intelligent, with a passion for life. I dont want anyone with incumbent children (I havent grown up enough myself to be able to deal with the little blighters and they tend to want too much attention). I am NOT looking for one night stands or guys who are just out for what they can get. So if thats you, please dont bother!!!!!! I am also very picky about looks, and would like someone who takes care of themselves. So if you enjoy spending every night in the pub or sitting in front of the tv, forget it! My ideal man is between 35-45, fit, slim, with varied interests and well educated so that he can have a good debate with me on a wide variety of subjects. Oh, and someone who just enjoys life and can laugh at themselves. Yes, I know its a tall order, but Im not in this game for a laugh...........
