[SIZE 3]It's been a few years since I was an active member on this site. My 'handle' back then was [B]MadamTori[/B] My blog was called:[I] "A Cabin With a View". [/I] Some of you may already know me. :D When I left this site after meeting my last partner in late 2011, I deleted my profile and all that went with it, including my blog. He's gone now...and I'm back. I live a busy life with many responsibilities, and have little time for 'dating', however [B]I do long for and appreciate mature, lovable, genuine companionship [/B]outside of my darling family when and if possible.. [I]The ONLY friendships, lovers, or partners I'm interested in are authentic people.[U] AUTHENTICITY[/U] is paramount. That involves honesty, compassion, kindness, humor, maturity, and living by a peral code of love. This covers most of what I desire in others, anyway. [/I] I am a woman of discretion, but that does not mean I'm interested in anyone who asks for 'discreet' liais because they live a secret life separate from their mate, spouse, or committed partner. I'm not judging those people, I've simply had enough heart breaking experiences in the past, and regret any time I ever crossed that line. And...I've been thrown under the bus a time or two myself. It hurts.It hurts ALL involved...eventually. This is NOT where my path is going, but thanks. Yes, I am bisexual, but I'm not a 'Swinger' type. I've known lots of couples who 'play' and 'swing' and they're wonderful folks. I admire those with honest, open relationships, I do. I make a fabulous friend to couples. I'm just not that into being the 3rd in a threesome, or someone's "Unicorn" or whatever. lol I'm a one-on-one love making kind of woman. I adore intimacy, building trust, and acceptance, and hopefully, exploration together. I understand the 3 A's.....Attention, Appreciation, and Affection. I could add a fourth A....Adore. To love someone to the point of adoring them. I like some BDsM..but I'm not looking for a Master or wanting to be someone else's Dominatrix. (I can play those scenarios with the right partner, on occasion, but it's not my lifestyle. ) I live in a fairly small town in SW Montana, and although I wish I could relocate for multiple and specific reas, I currently cannot do so. Living in a small town requires a kind of courage to post one's face and private information on a site like this, when you could easily be recognized on a daily basis, particularly if you work in the public, in customer service.....as I do. If you recognize me, please be discreet. Thank you. This is the kind of discretion I find necessary and appropriate. Dippin' my toes....simply means I'm picky and cautious for now. It's been a really long time since I've reached out in this way. Maybe I've been bruised up a bit too much, and just healing slowly? I'm not even clear why I'm back, except that I am NOT a celibate woman by nature, and I love to love. I'm a really nice lady....I try to be sweet to every one. . I would love to find my [COLOR purple][I][B]TWIN FLAME[/B][/I][/COLOR].
