About Me

DISCLOSURE: One photo isn't enough. If you don't have SEVERAL current photos of yourself, or, if you have several photos but they are all from a distance, blurry, of your dog or headless pictures of your pecks, you're probably not getting a response from me. Let me see your eyes.... Eyes speak... And so does a clear, full body shot... ;) Also, it's obvious based on your messages whether or not you read my profile... I realize it's a lot to take in, but it's good information if you really want to get to know me. Please TRY to read it in it's entirety. Take your time. I'm a high energy, social, fun, motivated, woman. I'm a live and let live, don't fight the natural order of the universe type person. I respond best to the Eastern Philosophies and the natural cycles of the universe... I'm more of a Taoist, or at least I strive to be. I'm still an amateur... I make things happen and I do it in an out of the box, creative way. I'm a bit disorganized and can be a little scatterbrained at times, but I like to think it's part of my charm....I'm cluttery but clean. However, I do LOVE when everything is in its place.I have a real passion for food.... (My other religion... Epicureanism....) Spicy food and sushi are my favorites. Any ethnicity works. I don't care if it's a hole in the wall or fine dining. Usually the hole in the wall is better. Nothing beats a great farm to table restaurant... I cook a lot and I love it spicy!!! I see potential for issues if spicy isn't your thing... When I say food, I mean, actual real food. Not genetically modified and/or processed "food" as long as I can help it. Although, I do have a weakness for pixxy sticks occasionally as much as I try to resist... Most of my diet is organic and I rarely eat meat, so when I do, I'm pretty picky about quality... My potential future partner should also be aware enough to want to be picky about what he chooses to nourish his body with too... I'm a small business owner, mother ***year old son), student, designer, gardener (farmer) and artist. I live a wonderfully full life that is lacking romance... However, I'd much prefer to stay single rather than find myself in the wrong relationship... I am pretty in tune with what kind of person I might connect with and unfortunately, I will not be able to fit that specific description in this little box as I do not not want rule anyone out based on shallow descriptions... Unless, of course, you're sporting a mullet and porno mustach in a cheesy photo of yourself, shirtless, next to your Camaro... Gasp! I have my limits!!! Lol...I thrive on positive energy. I try to see the good in things. I find character in imperfection. I'm interested in finding a positive man who also sees the good in things. So, if your profile lists a bunch of negative, venomous spew,..... you can be certain never to hear from me no matter how hot you are... I'm a free spirit. I love my life.. I don't NEED a man. I WANT one!!! An awesome one that will contribute value to my life as I will also do to his... I don't need to be rescued... I'm definitely not one of those woman's lib types either. I love being treated like a girl. A little chivalry goes a long way... But please don't do it because I say so, only do it if you feel it... I know the difference...How about funny? Now a sense of humor is a quality that I can really appreciate in a man.... Integrity, intelligence, moral and ethical are also very high on my list of standards. Yeah, You've gotta have a nice mug and good teeth but you don't necessarily have to be a supermodel, although that's fine too. Truth is, I'm not attracted to any particular type and you never know who's going to stir up a spark. However, I'm not attracted to a "few extra pounds" or bigger. My preference is probably towards the slim and slenderish side or if you're the type that likes to work out a lot, I won't complain about it... If you eat well and are reasonably active, your physique will easily measure up to my standards.I'm a nurturer and a giver... I'm only interested in dating another giver... Great Relationships are not about give and take... They are about giving and giving.. I will never ask for more than I'm willing to give. The gifts one has available will of course not be apples for apples or dollars for dollars as clearly everyone has different things to offer.... Of course, both "banks" can't always be full all the time, but neither should ever be found empty... If your bank is empty now, fill it before you reach out to me... Mine is full and ready to start giving to the right reciever...So, if you've made it this far, digest what I've said and give me a shout if anything resonates with you. Oh, and please don't be offended if I don't respond. I'm taking a passive approach to this thing. Ciao! Ideally a first date should be casual and potentially short with a possible option for it to last a while just in case the elusive chemistry is there.... Coffee, a drink, brunch, lunch or maybe dinner.... You know how much I love food!!!

    Woman. 41 years old. Zodiac sign: Aquarius.

    Looking for: man. In age: 38-48

    I am a single mom working as an RN in a day-surgery type center, in the recovery room, in the burbs. I love music; especially that of a punk rock nature and hope to come across someone that shares my taste in music. I love going to see live shows but it's always more fun when someone goes with you. I have a sarcastic sense of humor for the most part, but a good one just the same. Chillin with beer in front of the tv is a great time just as getting all dressed up and going to a five star restaurant is. I am wise in time but young at heart. I refuse to grow old or be old. (not to be confused with a lack of maturity) I'm flexible and am extremely giving of myself when it comes to somone I care about. My kids are of course the most important things in my life but my heart is big enough to share. Please understand upfront though, there is no competition; they come first! I am very passionate in some ways but also very relaxed and easy going. I'm prideful and independant as all single mothers are so don't be intimidated or take it personally. I do know how to let go and relinquish the reigns every now and then ;) I enjoy deep conversations, as well as silly ones. I don't believe in lieing; my honesty can be brutal at times but at least it's truth. Reading good books and watching old movies are favorite past times. Audrey Hepburn is my favorite actress. I most definitely do not fit the soccer mom profile. I have a style all my own. Something that makes me unique: I collect Gone With the Wind items. It has always been my favorite movie for as long as I can remember... The whole young, beautiful Irish girl... spoiled.... the man of her dreams.... what else would you expect from an Irish girl of today?What am I looking for? Well first and foremost you must be a man. Yes, I mean that in every sense of the word: physically, emotionally, metaphorically! Someone with a sense of humor, strength, passion, respect, not afraid of commitment, honest, trustworthy, friendship, chemistry....be open to whatever may come. I am not looking for someone to complete me, fix me or take care of me! My kids complete me. Life has thrown me a few punches and I've been beaten but I'm not broken. And I take care of myself just fine. A first date can be anything.... a concert, pool and beer (I like pool but not a champion by any means), dinner, dessert, coffee, drinks.... really anything is up for discussion.

    I have three things that are important to me…age, location and kids. Please be between ***and live in CT. If you're not /don't that's not right for me, which means no thanks and all the best to you.Look, I don't date much, because I don't date lightly (and I don't hook up) so I rather have a quality date than quantity of them. My goal is to meet a man I could get to know and build a healthy relationship with. I'd like to let things evolve natrually into long term dating or more if things are right.When it comes to kids…I have them, but I’m not incapable of dating. And, like all parents I love my kids (two girls, 10 and 8) more than anything in life. But, I don’t need to replace their dad or want an *** My kids know I date (we had a talk), but I don’t like exposing my kids to dating (too much for them to understand), so they wouldn’t come into the picture until we decided we want to keep dating.Now that I've said all that...like everybody else I need that combination of physical and emotional attraction, which I know you can only learn in real life. So, I’m not afraid to chat and meet, but really it’s a blind date so no guarantees (there may only be one...how else would you know)…nuf said, right?I’M ATTRACTED TO...a man who tries to be the best they can, who learns from their mistakes, who’s not a liar, judgmental or bigoted. A man with street and book smarts. Someone who is not afraid to get their hands dirty, but can occasionally enjoy the finer things. Who after a day of playing or working can clean up and look hot to go to dinner for some challenging conversation and a great glass of wine. I need a man who’s willing to date a women with kids, but would prefer a man who’s…either a dad with kids close to the age of mine (so you get it) or a man who doesn’t want to have any children in the future (I can’t). I like a man who’s reasonably fit, not bald – sorry I like hair (usually dark), you might like blondes! Taller than me – I like high heels.ME…I’ve been divorced 5 years (was married ***and I’ve learned it’s easier to trust your *** never go against what doesn’t feel right. I’ve learned it’s important to me to treat people respectfully, think first and act second. I’ve learned (and happy to report) I’m normal…and like everybody else there are times when I want to chill at home, hang with family and friends, or to go out and have fun.Own my house, work full time, drink sensibly, don’t smoke, never had a drug problem or STD Do my own yard work - riding mower, snow blower, etc.. Think drama is people trying to make the wrong thing right Not judgmental - I accept we have a history Try to have fun and make the best of what I’m doing Think laughter makes things special and memorable I’m romantic…think it’s important to have private things to share and laugh about Work out several times a week and eat healthy, most days White wine over red Steak medium rare Love skeet shooting - haven’t done it in a long time Camping is cool...wanna buy a camper Fishing is fun Enjoy watching martial arts, MMA and boxing TV…CSI, Criminal Minds, Person of interest, Cooking Channel, True Blood I love cooking, dinning out and trying new foods. And, I am a good cook (honest) so I love cooking for people, which means you can’t be a picky eater or you’ll take away my fun.Looking forward to getting to know you…till then be well !

    Woman. 41 years old. Zodiac sign: Gemini.

    Looking for: man. In age: 38-48

    Why is finding the 'one' so hard? I'm not so difficult or have set my standards so high. I want a best friend, someone who I can laugh with over absolutely nothing and talk about any topic without worrying about upsetting the other. There's never awkward silences because we never run out of stuff to talk about. And you're not afraid to give me a kiss wherever we are or a tender hug. Not so difficult, right?I am my own person too. I'm not looking for someone to save me or protect me, or tell me what I need to like. But I am open, no, looking forward to learning new things and having new experiences because I know what I like but I'm not afraid to find out what else is out there. I'm open to new ideas and new adventures, within reason. I will never, ever jump out of a plane or bungee jump. And I love learning new things and sharing the excitement of what I've learned. I just want to find someone to enjoy life with and experience things *** sitting on the couch waiting for things to happen. Meet somewhere for a drink and see if the inperson chemistry is the same as the online chemistry. I'm not one to spend weeks and weeks of e-mailing, texting and messaging because I think you can get along great in that format and then meet in person and find it's not there. And besides, summer is coming and there's so much to do!
