About Me

Before you read too far, just wanted to note that I have sole custody of my son, and he is with me full time. If that doesn't faze you, read on, the next sentence might, haha! Here we go...Single mom to a 10-year-old son. He and I are quite the team and have tons of fun. That said, there are times when I need to escape, and think I am ready to step out on a date! Honestly, I'm a lil' scared at the prospect of trying again, so I prefer to treat this as simply meeting new friends. I work very hard, and my son, he comes first, so it leaves little time to relax and converse. But I'm willing to try if you're not certifiably crazy, still curious about life, and not always lazy. As for me, I am impatient, tenacious, and slightly neurotic at times. Like my incessant need to make all this crap rhyme! On the flip-side, however, I am loving and kind; and a horrible liar who loves to kick back and unwind.I want someone who is passionate in all his endeavors, who is always a gentleman, quick-witted, and clever. This is just a brief outline of what I seek in a mate, and if I find him through this venue, then it has to be fate!Single dad's are welcomed and encouraged to reply. That's it for now. Thanks for reading. Bye-Bye!Update: Just to add a little more information, I have been single a long time, by choice. I have used this time to focus on my son, to grow as a woman and a mother, and to just...be. Until recently, and even still at times, I have felt that being a single parent and dating were very difficult to co-mingle, so for the most part, I chose to focus on being a mother as it was what I felt was right, and quite honestly, it was easier. That being said, I feel that now that my son is getting older, it is a little easier for me to allow myself to date without guilt. I am not looking for anything casual. Dating with children is just not the same as dating pre-children (at least not for me). I am a 44-year-old woman and mom looking for a real connection with someone who gets that at this stage of life, with children, it really is a package deal. I hope to find someone who gets me, who gets single-parenthood, who gets that in order for there to be an us, there has to be a mutual respect for our children and our respective situations. I know we are all on here searching for someone, albeit maybe for different things based on where we are in our lives. So if I am not what you are seeking, I wish you all the best on your search. Something simple like a walk in the park

    I'm a very gregarious, humorous and outgoing person. I try to have a passion for all I do in my life. I tend not to take myself or life too seriously, but I do understand there is a time and place for seriousness and romance.I don't have an idea of a perfect match or fit. I believe everyone has something unique and special to offer if you give them a chance.

    Woman. 43 years old. Zodiac sign: Scorpio.

    Looking for: man. In age: 40-50

    Thanks for stopping by!I'm an outgoing, independant woman, who enjoys the outdoors (community/sporting events and camping), and loves to try new things (food, places, and crossing off items on my bucket list)!I have two daughters, 8 and 11, and I enjoy an amicable relationship with my ex husband. It was a marriage I left, over 4 years ago. As a former preschool teacher and child care director, I adore kids and do prefer to date men who have younger or older kids, as opposed to none.I like to cook basic meals a few times a week, and really enjoy grilling in my backyard. I've lived in my condo for almost a year now, and love this area, which is where I also grew up and attended school.I like to think I have a good sense of humor, am an active listener and amazing communicator, who prefers a gentlemen that is old-fashioned, romantic, and can share how he feels about me/us on a regular basis.We all have a certain type that we're initially attracted too and a chemistry we can sometimes determine by what is or isn't said in a profile. If I write you, and there isn't any desire, please don't feel like you have to respond. Furthermore, I have decided to just delete messages that I may not sense an immediate vibe with. It's not meant to be disrespectful, but it does take time to go back and forth and explain, with some becoming hurt in the process. I also have a soft spot for the Angels, Ducks, and Celtics. If you are a Dodger, King, and Laker fan, don't rule me out, bets can be fun!;. My apologies regarding that.Best of luck on this site!Sheila The first meet is more about a quick cup of coffee or alcoholic beverage to see that we look like our photos and there's enough chemistry to plan a date later. Surely we'll know if we wanna try for a date after 20 minutes!

    Ok so this is me: You get what you see. Authentic. Fun. Easy going. Independent, Confident and Free Spirited. I have great girlfriends that I spend a great deal of time with. They have gotten me through the worst and best times of my life and they will get a chance to give their opinions on you :) Don't be nervous! You will love them all. I have had my own business for twelve years as an interior designer. I love it. It is my passion and its where I spend A LOT of my energy...that is...AFTER I am the mom of two beautiful teenage daughters. They keep me on my toes and they are reason I get up every day. You must love girls if you will be part of this house :) We do have a boy... My little Shitzu. He is not always stranger friendly but a good judge of character! My friends would say that I am loyal, a confidant, strong and determined. I know how to have fun. I have been referred to as the energizer bunny because I am usually the last one standing. They also call me "DJ Ne" because I love all kinds of music and I am the girl with the ipod :) I love to dance!I LOVE to cook. I want a man that will cook with me. Not just eat! I love good wine. I love fine dining. I love entertaining. The parties, the barbeques, the get togethers...are almost always at my house. I need a guy that loves that too. I almost forgot! I LOVE COFFEE! It's a must in the morning! Grande Latte with 3 Splenda...or...at home it's the Keurig! If you are a coffe drinker...you know it!I love the sun, beach and water...laying out, boating, a picnic, jet skis. I am not very athletic (i was not blessed with that gene even though I try) but I love to watch and I will be right in the middle of it all. I just won't be the star and I am SO fine with that. I would really love to learn to golf and if you have the patience to teach me...well you just might be the one :) I love adventure. I love to travel. I LOVE rollercoasters even though I am scared to death! I won't be skiing in any type of environment (because I suck at it!As for you: well...I hope you are tall, smart and witty. If you can't make me laugh and if we can't laugh together...it's not gonna work. I hope you love to sit and have wine with me and have long conversations about anything and everything. I hope you have a great family and a set of friends that you can't wait to introduce me to. I hope you are passionate about your career but not overly obsessed. You know how to have fun on the weekend. I hope you are honest and kind and can be open with your feelings. I hope you bring something to the table that you can teach me. I want to learn more, experience things I've never experienced, and just grow mentally and spiritually with a man I respect. Is this all too deep and too much to ask and expect? I hope not. Cuz I am setting my stardards high and you should too... First dates...I prefer to leave it up to him however, to be honest..drinks or appetizers or something impromtu is best when meeting someone blindly. The initial meeting is just to be somewhere comfortable to be able to talk and get to know one another and see if there is a connection. Stress free. If that meeting goes well then lets start planning the fun stuff!
