About Me

Ok so here we go again. I am a single mom of a 5-year-old boy who is with me full time. I love sports, music (symphonic metal, hard rock, Celtic rock, and Irish, among many other genres), reading, history (World War II in particular), and anything competitive (pool, horseshoes, shuffleboard, beer pong, whatever). From spring to fall I play a lot of softball. I enjoy most sports and am a big fan of the Razorbacks, Braves, Saints, Thunder, and Bruins (hockey). I like going out for karaoke, and yes, I'm relatively decent at it! I'm not always a happy person, but I like to laugh and smile, even if it's just sarcastically. I have a very smart-ass sense of humor that can come across as abrasive. I'm not beautiful or perfect, but I always try my best to be as close to both as possible. I tend to be defensive, but I suppose 32 years of rejection and disappointment has built up my wall. I've almost gotten to the point where I'm afraid to like anyone because I don't want to go through any of those feelings again. But the right person can/would/should help me break through that.I'm a little old fashioned and shy. I can come across as rather intense, but I believe anything worth having is worth working for and anything worth doing is worth doing right, so I try to give my best and my all in everything I do. I prefer for the man to make the first move (i.e., initiate conversation, ask me out first, etc.), and I expect him to be a gentleman (i.e., opening doors, using manners, etc.) The main reason for that is, as a single mom, I try really hard to teach my son to be a gentleman, and I would like him to have someone he can look up to for examples and proof of how a man should truly treat a woman.Everyone always asks what I'm looking for, so I'll just lay it out there. I am looking for happiness. Someone who adores me as much as I adore him. Someone who makes me smile because he loves to see me smile, and calls or texts or whatever because he wants to, not out of a sense of obligation. Someone who loves my child as he would his own and appreciates/respects my parenting. (By the way, I want to physically have more kids. That's non-negotiable. I expect your kids to treat me with respect and behave as I expect my own child to.) Someone I can talk to and not run out of things to say. Someone who can be apart from me but doesn't necessarily like it. Someone who can take care of me and protect me, not because I need it, but because he enjoys it. Because everything I get, I give in return. Someone I can trust, respect, and be proud of. And basically, that's it. I just want to be happy. Thanks for reading all this (probably all none of you!). And just for the record, I don't like dating. It's expensive and stressful, and honestly, I think it's just a shallow excuse people use when they don't want to commit. They say, oh I'm just dating around. Well, not me. I'm not saying one date and I jump into marriage. If I think I'll like someone, I'll go on a date with him. If I don't like him, I won't see him again. If I do like him, I will see only him. I like to devote my time and attention to one person, and I appreciate the same in return. Must be able to communicate often and effectively. And at least give me a chance. But please don't tell me you're a nice guy and not like other men. Every guy tries to tell me that, then he turns out to be just like every other jerk I've ever met. Prove it to me *** what you mean, and do what you say. A nice dinner and drinks. Unless you can think of something more interesting, in which case I am happy to consider.

    Ok, I don't get the "meet me" thing, so if you do....whatever that is.....I don't understand so message me.......I smile about some random things... Office supplies, things used to get organized, puppies, kittens, 5:00 on Fridays :-) sun, storms, flowers, fall leaves changing...... All kinds of things can make me smile.......I LOVE to laugh!!!! It is probably the best thing in the world..... No matter where you are, if you are laughing you are having a great time..... and I laugh at myself A LOT!!! I am not dumb nor stupid but manage to do or say some dumb and stupid things. Maybe because I don't always think before speaking. :-)How to describe yourself in this is just silly to me. I love meeting new people and making all kinds of friends. I am crafty and creative and....... This just in I LOVE using a drill...... its a running joke with people I know to hide theirs if they have one because I won't give it back.... I will just look for things to drill...... I bought one then realized it wasn't enough voltage cuz I want some power behind it, not just a girly drill. I am looking for dating at first to see where things go.. and if that turns into more.....that's great. I am NOT looking for a hookup or interested in someone who is..... I can get that at the local bar.... I AM OUT ON THAT, so please don't bother. And I am a great judge of character and can sniff out a dog before he even knows he's been spotted..... LOL.......And I will NEVER understand why when I'm out......guys never talk to me????? Can some of you guys on here help me figure out why??? Any insight into this is welcome...... I mean really???? Is it that hard???? Laughter....... If you can laugh it makes anything and nothing all worth while and can turn sitting on a rock into the best time ever!!!

    In case you haven't already noticed I like to be silly majority of the time, but with that said I also know when to be serious. I have a full time job, I go to school at nights, and I have children! I don't have a whole lot of extra time to give. So I really don't want to waist what little time on guys who just want to play games. If your not really wanting to get to know me then don't bother messaging me! I'm patient and I like to talk to people before I just hand out my phone number to some stranger on a web site, but I'm on here cause clearly I don't have time to go out to meet people all the time. Just don't be someone your not normally... Meaning: First dates are usaully awkward in themselves so don't try to impress me by putting on a show. Just some friendly advise... If you can't impress a girl by just being yourself then chances are she's never going to be impressed no matter what you do.
