Tennessee River girl, ready for real

The river is the heart of this city and it's mine too. I'm thirty-seven, a speech therapist, and I've been single for about three years after a long relationship that ended when I finally admitted I wasn't happy. I'm happy now. I want to share that with someone. I'm looking for a man who's kind at his core, who communicates openly, and who wants a relationship that's actually equal. I like walks along the river, trying new restaurants, and I've been learning to garden, which is a humbling hobby. I'm patient, I'm loyal, and I want someone who recognizes those qualities as the gifts they are. I'm ready for something real — are you?
