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

    Although I'd much rather my love life happen in a serendipitous way, I'm giving this a go. I'm your stereotypical Scorpio girl in many ways. No, I don't buy into astrology or any superstitions for that matter. When I read about the typical Scorpio, though I can't help but notice certain traits of mine: passionate, stubbornness, depth of character, realist, idealist... I love intellectual conversations mixed with humor and fun. I can be spontaneous at times but also enjoy routine. I am not afraid to experience new things. I am athletic and enjoy hiking, jogging, and being outdoors. I am not high maintenance and do not need much time to get ready to go somewhere. I don't need expensive gifts or care much about money. I want the real thing- love. I am more interested in knowing and appreciating the whole person I'm with. What I'm attracted to is someone warm and passionate, open minded, intelligent, knows what he wants, and unconventional. I am an atheist and a staunch liberal. I am not looking for someone to agree with me in all areas, however religious zealots and conservatives are not likely to get along with me. Open

    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!
