About Me

Does this EVER get ANY easier? I am a Mom .... raising 2 daughters that take up a lot of my time.. I work, and travel from time to time for my job. In the past, dating was not very easy for me, however when I do have free time... I like to have plans to spend with that SPECIAL "ONE".I want to be VERY upfront and say that if you are on this site, to "prowl" and "score" I am NOT INTERESTED. IF you are NOT looking for an eventual SERIOUS LTR. Please do not waste either of our time. I HONESTLY want to spend the free time I have with someone who is looking towards the future. If you are still in LOVE with your ex... Married.... Newly Separated..... or just a Gigilo...I am not interested. I am in my 40's and KNOW what clicks for me and what does not. I prefer men that are over 5 foot 9, , call it "shallow";something" I won't compromise on. I do not like to be taller than the MAN I am with. Hey, honesty.....is FOREMOST!Some things that I have to be HONEST and put out there : I do not want to come across as negative.. but can we just be real and get to what we REALLY like and want, and don't?1: If you are not really interested in a committed future, however YOU have that in your profile, the only thing that says about you is that from the START you are DISHONEST..and that does not work for me.. A "relationship" can not begin when based on dishonesty.2: IF YOU SAY you are a NON SMOKER... I sure hope that you ARE... and BELIEVE me I will know and SMOKING is a DEAL BREAKER for me. I am a VERY honest person and that is a quality I take seriously. I will ALWAYS be honest....3: I am VERY attracted to a man with a great smile..it is the FIRST thing that I notice.... a SMILE says soo much about a person's inner soul.. IF you are not smiling in ANY of your photos, chances are you are not very happy and I like to surround myself with Happy People. So if I do not respond to your message if your pix looks like a nasty mug shot with a DEAD BLOODY animal or you are pointing a 12 gauge at me ... hmmm I will not be responding. I don't mean to sound harsh, but a SMILE is KEY! 4: I can RESPECT the profiles w/out photos because of your job etc.. HOWEVER... YOU MUST *** PHOTO or I WILL NOT RESPOND... If you think about it .... it is PRETTY CREEPY "messaging" a Person with NO FACE... and I WON't make an exception.... 5: Also , please spell check your profile and your messages..... or have someone do it for you....6: I am very interested in finding out a little bit about you .... BEFORE ANY numbers are exchanged..I DO NOT GIVE OUT MY NUMBER ... My daughters also "play on" or use my phone because I do not believe that a 10 year old "needs" a cell phone. I do not just hand out my number to have texts and photos sent to my phone.. call me OL' fashioned... HOWEVER, I feel that we have lost the intrique of the "courting or dating" stage.. I have an IM and there is a "chat" feature on this... and AT FIRST that is how I would like to communicate. ..they gave us the tools... let's USE them.... and take it from there... PLEASE DO NOT ask me to send you "THOSE PIX".... you don't even KNOW me..... ALL of these things WILL follow ... natural progression .. IF it is "right"...VERY VERY IMPORTANTI AM COMPLETELY SET ON THE "WANTS" that I have indicated... the WHAT I AM INTERESTED IN... WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR.... I am not on this site to collect profiles and spend hours reading through messages from men that do NOT match my criteria AT ALL... I know what kind of man SPARKS my interest.... and what kind INTERESTS me to find out more about. NOT to come across as "Shallow" but, if I say 5' 9" and you are 4' 11" I probably won't respond... I appreciate the compliments .. I honestly do.... But PLEASE can we be HONEST... we ALL know as grown adults WHAT makes us "tick" and what doesn't... that is just an example.... it goes for ALL my other preferences as well. THAT is why they ASk..... :)Now Guys, as many of the other "ladies" on this site may appreciate or LIKE a photo of you HALF NAKED "PUMPING IRON" at the GYM in the mirror or taking pix of yourself in a bathroom with a urinal in the background ...or ALL of your pix are only of your half naked body.....there are many , INCLUDING ME that think that is a BIT CREEPY... leave something to our imagination...AS FOR ME....I am fun , and witty, and like to do just about anything...at least once. I enjoy time with friends and I always make an effort to make people smile.. I am Passionate, and Fun and Honest. I like to put on my heels and go out to dinner or put my hair in a baseball cap and go to a Hockey game or other sporting event. I am attracted to TALLER Men (over 5 foot 9) because I have a CLOSET of shoes that I love to wear when I am not playing Mom's Taxi or in my cleats on the softball field.. I like to look my best when going out with My "man".. That may sound "shallow" but it is a "chemistry thing with me... If I tower over you when I have my jeans and heels on, I just can't feel the "chemistry" everyone has their "thing".I get messaged a LOT "WHY ARE YOU SINGLE"? Well.... I'm single simply because I have raised my girls alone, and they are and have been my focus.. I am not one of these women that puts their children second just to go on dates.. I honestly in 5 years have only been on 6 dates from this site. I love to smile and laugh, cook and garden. I like to spend time with friends and go out every so often.. I coach girls softball, and try to be as active in the kids school activities as my work schedule allows. I will ALWAYS give 110%......... ALWAYS... I think that meeting in a PUBLIC place is #1 MOST IMPORTANT...:) Maybe for a Drink somewhere to see if there is that "spark" then if we choose move onto to app's or dinner, or movie.. Then if there is that "CHEMISTRY" let the adventure begin! ohhh and IF your profile says NON SMOKER! PLEASEEEEEE make sure YOU are a TRUE NON SMOKER... because as GREAT as you are.. I can NOT/ will NOT date a SMOKER.. So PLEASE DON't LIE! that is an *** ender..

    Woman. 45 years old. Zodiac sign: Scorpio.

    Looking for: man. In age: 42-52

    My dream is to retire near the ocean (preferable on Provodenciales). I have found that middle age is more doable with clean eating and exercising. I've also begun tennis lessons- so if your patient, we can play. I'm not high maintenance but I do appreciate someone that puts my needs in front of his at least half the time (I will notice and you will be rewarded). I believe in giving a little to get a little- a true partnership (and I do give without expecting something in return but at some point there has to be a healthy balance). I hope that makes sense and doesn't sound jaded. I'm an extremely hard worker and somewhat of a perfectionist. I love smart people and respect those with a strong work ethic. I'm more spiritual than religious. Although, I was raised catholic....I love animals and have a strong bond with them. Someday I hope to own one or four (when I have the proper space and time). I'm sure I've left things out. Feel free to ask. I'm honest and straightforward. You'll never have to guess what I'm thinking :-) Coffee....something simple and easy.

    I am a good hearted woman with 3 children. I don't liked to be played I don't like drama. I like to do almost anything I'm not picky. But will tell u if I like something or not. And don't just *** u want a one night stand I'm not that kind of woman. I have respect for myself and my children. My children are my life so u don't like children then don't *** u meet me first then my kids. I'm a fun loving and caring woman. So if u are looking for that hit me up! On my first date I like to get to no the guy. We can go out for dinner and talk so we can get to no one another. Then we can go see a movie or go out and dance or just stay at dinner so we can talk some more. Or we can go out for a walk I'm not a picky woman.

    HI! Lets see, this is always the worst part, you either put too much or not enough. I have 3 great kids ***, 21 & 18. I am proud of all of my kids ( including the ***that call me mom and show up at any time) and blessed for the open relationship that I have had with them and the things it has taught me and them.I love dancing and music, playing cards, laughing and just having fun with friends or my kids. I love having cookouts, going to bonfires, pretty much anything - and yep, I even like fishing lol. Just a country girl at heart who knows how to get dirty or dress up. What am I looking for? I believe in total honesty - loyalty, committment, faithfulness and love. We all have baggage and that baggage has made us who we are today. We all have exes and have had heartbreak, etc - but why look back and dwell on that when there is a whole future with someone else to create?? Questions??? Feel free to ask, I am an open book! Hope to hear from you soon and Happy Fishing to those that move along. Totally open to suggestions - dinner somewhere quiet with the chance to talk and get to know each other, then depending on how the date goes and the chemistry ~ dancing, movie, going for a ride ~ whatever each of us are comfortable with.
