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.

I am usually a bit of a homebody. I like bars but hate clubs. I enjoy good music , that means no rap. The simple things in life are the best like fishing or just going for a drive. I have been told that I tend to have a sick sense of humor sometimes. I seem shy at first until I feel comfortable around you.. I love scary movies and cartoons. What I look for, a clean guy, no drugs or alcoholics. Not big on facial hair but overlook it.. I have a car , a job, and a place of my own. .. No friends with benefits. I take my time, and that also means that I am very careful about the first meeting. It's amazing how many people forgot about the craigs list killer and other psychos. I have had some really bad things happen to me so I've learned to be careful. Such is the way of life.I'm not looking for an immediate serious relationship, but I do want the chance that whom ever I date will care for me as if it was a serious relationship. No more jumping into the fire just to get burned. Don't get me wrong, I'm a very loving and loyal person and when I choose to date someone its because I care. My deepest desire is to be wanted but not needed.If I'm not for you I definately understand, everyone has the right to be picky. P.s. This time the quiet ones don't catch any fish. :-) some place where we can talk. I love to play pool and its a big bonus that you can't concentrate too much on the other person if you are playing pool. I won't mind when you win just as long as you make it look like it took some effort to beat me :-)

Hey! While I'm extremely skeptical about this kind of thing, I'm trying to be open minded & step outside of my comfort zone :) So...that being said, a little about me: I'm very fun, outgoing, loud and passionate. I try to give my all in everything I do. I am extremely passionate about music. I love going to see live shows...from local bands at little dive bars to road tripping to see big concerts and music festivals. My music taste is all over the board & I love the way listening to a song can take you back to a certain time or specific feeling in your life. I do marketing, outreach & development for a local non-profit organization. I absolutely love my job & giving back to people or organizations in need. I think I do a good job of making the best of any situation & trying to make sure everyone around me is always having a good time! I love almost anything outdoors (with some exceptions), especially in the water. Hiking, floating, swimming, skiing, tubing, camping, etc.! I'm a third generation alumnus. I love, love, love football season & there's nothing better than Game Day on The Hill!
