About Me
This is the part where the wonderful description of ourselves goes hmmm? It is a somewhat daunting task to describe oneself. So here it goes, some random things about me: At my best I am spirited, curious, and diverse, at my worst stubborn and I talk too much. I try to be a better me everyday, physically, and mentally. I am very straightforward and take things as they come to me. If you ask me my opinion, I will tell you, tactfully of course, and it will be exactly that, my opinion. Feel free to disagree. I am a self described glass is half full girl. Honesty is of great importance to me. So is laughter. I don't gossip, it's unkind. I keep confidences because it is important to be trustworthy. The best compliment I ever received was that I am compassionate. The best advice ever given to me was "we regret in life more the things we don't do than the things we do". I am a people person. I love kids and old people (I know that sounds hokey, but I do!) They usually have an interesting take on things. I am inspired by nature and the outdoors. I am learning to fish because my children love fishing. Last year I learned to shoot and loved it! I am also rather bookish, reading and writing are my escape. I love movies, music, and theater. I speak fluent German. I like early mornings as much as late nights. My favorite movie is "It's a wonderful life". My current favorite song is "Sometimes I get a feeling" by Flo Rida. I will dance, although it is usually in my kitchen while cleaning. I am not a huge sports buff but will hang around for the occaisional sporting event, I am artistic and inventive and love gardening and have been know to bouts of baking a bit compulsively. Yea, there's more but if you got this far and you're still reading and curious you'll have to ask, otherwise it'd be just as well to simply publish my autobiography in this here small box for your reading pleasure and just skip the whole dating thing. :)Addendum: I am flattered by the many responses I have gotten in my first 2 days here. I don't know if it because I am brand new and it will begin to drop off after a bit, however I do try to respond to most even if I am not interested. Please don't be offended, I have spent time thinking and have a pretty good idea of what I want in someone I will choose to spend time with. Days may be long, but life is short and I see no point in wasting anyone's time. I have a few criteria that are general reasons I will not date someone- If you are closer to my kids age than mine, thank you for stopping by, as a general rule I prefer to date a bit older, next you don't have to be a rocket scientist but you have to know something about something, be able to write an intelligable note (perfection is not necessary) and hold a conversation, one that goes back and forth, don't expect me to do all the work, I am a woman that wants to be wooed, (yes, I am so worth it), I have many interests, hopefully so do you so we will have plenty to talk about and you should like to do something I do or vice versa, SO, if you have nothing to say please go to the library (is that harsh? I hope not it's just that is the appropriate place to be quiet, not on a date ) Next I want to be able to see your face, your stuff is nice, so is your dog and your home is beautiful, I know those pictures are meant to say things about you, but the picture of you should show your face clearly and should be recent, and oh yes you look great in your sunglasses but I want to see your eyes. As a sidenote, smile! You are here to find a date not get a part in the next serious guy movie. PS. Sports are ok, like I said I will watch on occasion, but if you're into sports and only sports I am not you gal either. Sports is what I see as a great excuse for you to have your time and me to have mine but I prefer not to spend a date that way. Lastly I am a 42 year old woman, with a real 42 year old woman's body. I have had 2 children so let's be real. I have curves, some in the right places and some not so much. I will not ask you if I look fat in this outfit, I am generally pretty comfortable in my own skin, but if physical perfection is important to you then you need to hop off the bus gus. Oh yea, and anything too forward or freaky fetish stuff should be saved. Sex is important in relationships, note: in relationships, not in a weird first hi I'm so-n-so note. Thank you for you patience, please carry on4 month Update: I no longer try to respond to most, it's too much to do, I am a busy girl. It gets exhausting to keep explaining things over and over. Convincing someone, no, really you're not my type. Sorry. Not trying to be mean...so If I don't respond you haven't caught my intrest or you don't meet the criteria. It is hard to reject someone, no one wants to do that. So yea, sometimes it is easier to say nothing. Some of you write the nicest things too, which makes it even harder. But that is just how it is, sometimes we just don't feel it. So if I don't respond, thank you for your note, I am always flattered. This is not an easy way to meet someone, feels unnatural and backwards. Also if you ask for my number and I give it to you, call me, don't text me. If the phone conversation goes ok then maybe we can text. Finally, I do this all on my phone so I cannot do the online chat thing, so don't be offended when I don't respond. ;) This first date box is kinda silly, because we all just want to look at a person face to face, see if they are still attractive (do they really look like the picture that attracted you) find out if there is mutual chemistry and does this individual have anything of interest to contribute or is sitting with them a tortuous strained affair. It's anyone's guess folks, this is afterall internet dating...so whatever it takes to relax and be yourself
