Lives in Ipswich

I am 38, have never been married or engaged, and have no children or pets. However, I do have 17-month old twin God-children who I adore and see once a month (they live with their Mum/my best friend in Bracknell).
I am loving, caring, thoughtful, tactile, sensitive, organised, a little obsessive and a bit of a worrier. I am too independent for my own good. I need a strong man to get a grip of me, to have fun with and to share lifes ups and downs with. I want to love and be loved.
I work hard and love my job. I would like to meet someone who shares the same work ethic.
I own my own house and car. I like nice things but am not extravagant, am sensible with money and don't do debt. I get a lot of pleasure from bargains.
Having been an Army Officer and a Police Officer I used to do lots of exercise. However, apart from Salsa and Zumba I don't do any at the moment. I would like to meet someone athletic who I can do exercise with for fun such as walking and cycling/mountain biking. I start golf lessons 28th May.
I enjoy eating in or out but am a bit slack at cooking for myself. I do, however, like to cook for others. I'm more, 'won't cook' than, 'can't cook'. I like films/cinema, weekends away, holidays, theatre/London shows and spending quality time with family and friends.
My ideal date would be a meal out with a bottle of wine followed by a romantic walk.
