About Me

Hi Guys, I am a busy single mom to my very active boys ages 11 and 15. I love watching them play football, baseball and basketball and I am an active volunteer with their teams. They are with me full time and they are my life. But they are old enough now for me to be able to enjoy some guilt-free ME time.I've been single for 8 years, divorced for 4 and am new to this dating thing - especially the online dating thing. It's like feeling my way around in the dark - will you hold the flashlight for me? I don't know the "rules" if there are any, and I probably would not follow them even if I did. Update: if you have dating "rules", I can only respect them (or not) if I know what they are - that requires communication. I am a BIG fan of communication!My friends tell me I don't know when I am being flirted with. I guess it takes a brick to my head. I just don't like assuming things and then looking foolish. Plus, if one wanted to, one could read something suggestive into just about any conversation. That can be fun - as long as we're on the same page! Humiliating if not!I hate playing the guessing game just TELL ME what's on your mind. That said, I do prefer directness. It CAN be done tactfully, kindly, and with openess and honesty - a must for all my relationships.I am an open book - ask me anything and know that my answers will be completely honest. Not everyone is an open book and that's okay, as long as what you DO put out there is truthful.I can play poker with the best of them but much prefer to lay my cards on the table and think it would be a much nicer world if we all did the same.I wear my heart on my sleeve but am not naive; don't underestimate me ;) I practice living a simple, uncluttered life in the here and now. I would much rather DO things than have things - creating precious memories that last a lifetime. I have learned that the key to happiness and contentment is quite simply - gratitude.Things I like doing... Walking the beach Photography Gardening Home improvements Watching NFL (Steelers Fans need not apply;) Jewelry making Mariners Games Road trips to nowhere Cookouts with family and friends Camping Hiking Reading Writing Things I have not done in a long time but would like to do again... Ski River raft Golf Dance Kiss Bucket List: The above list and... Get a tattoo (update - check! As my boys say, "YOLO!"You must have a sense of humor and not take life or yourself too seriously. I don't care about your weight, profession, income, motorcycles, boats or cars, how many times you work out a week, or all the places you have been (although a Harley trip would be fun! lol!) I do care if you are kind, compassionate, loving, responsible, respectful, respected, emotionally well-adjusted and generally fun to be around. And you gotta love long, passionate kisses that stop time.Thanks for reading...PS You guys are so damn cute holding up your little (and Big!) fishies with those proud looks on your faces. Just precious! ;) I'm not picky.

    Honestly, I have been on and off this site a zillion times. I was married for 20 years and have been divorced for 4. I had no idea what dating at this time in life would be like - I was NOT prepared. I was used to being the mom and wife and I was good at it. I knew my role and how things were supposed to go - this single, dating thing - I still don't get it. Here is what I do know. I don't want to grow old alone. I want a companion to share my life with. I want to find someone who is as curious and interested in knowing everything about me as I am about them. Someone who listens as much as he talks. Someone who knows what he is feeling and thinking and, if he feels it is important, says it straight forward and lets the chips fall where they may. Someone who let's it go when we agree to let it go. Someone who is a stand up guy - who cares about the less fortunate and doesn't need to put others down to feel good about himself. Someone who's eyes aren't constantly scanning the room when I am sitting there looking for the next shiny nickel and keeping his options open by NOT deleting his online profile when he is telling me I'm the one he wants to be with or constantly online when we supposedly have a great first few dates and seem to be hitting it off, if we aren't and I am confused then just stop telling me differently, I am a big girl and can handle the let down cause I'm probably on the fence about you too but am going to give you a chance before I line up the next 10.... anyone out there getting this yet?My apologies if I appear a bit jaded but guys there are many of you out there who are not very cool. They treat good women like me crappy and make it harder for you authentic, caring, loyal, honest, real men to find the good women who do exist out here. I am an adventurous, compassionate, loving, responsible, intelligent, kind, forgiving, sensual, sexy, funny woman. I am a good catch and deserve the best treatment and I'm not going to settle for less. If you are Mr. Nice guy and think we have some things in common (see below) send me a message. It will be worth your time. If you are not, please don't waste mine.

    After having written (and re-written) several of these little informational essays, I find that it would be so much easier to sort of make a list. Something stream-of-consciousness like this: I’m very smart, I’m always cold, I drive in silence often, I forget to eat when I’m working, I snort when I laugh, I’m really clumsy, I love to lie on the couch and read a book, I’’’d rather clean up than cook, I’m often like the absent--Gos, Stevie Wonder, Snow Patrol, and the Lady herself... Ga-Ga), and also I love my friends, my family and my life. There, so much easier.As for detailing what I'm looking for...maybe I should make a list that too:Please be intelligent; please take good care of yourself; please don’t eat a lot of fast food; please bathe at least once a day; please have a working knowledge of pop culture before ***; please don’t ***, Twitter, or be *** minutes; please be articulate; please be able to laugh at yourself; please don’t pick your teeth, your nose, your ears or your butt in public (or - dare I say it - habitually "rearrange" yourself either); please...having teeth is NOT optional!; please like to dance - anything from Salsa to Line dancing; please enjoy singing in the car or at least tolerate it when I do it; please be generous of heart mind, and spirit; please don't throw like a girl; please understand that being an avid reader - to me - means reading a novel, not a magazine; please have good table manners; please be liberal; please don't mind getting your hands dirty; please say please…and thank you.Oh, and also: please think the sun rises and sets on me (What? A little too much?). I'll do the same for you ;)UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS THE INFORMATION OR PHOTOS CONTAINED IN THIS PROFILE TO BE USED IN ADVERTISING, PROMOTION, BY meetville OR ANY OTHER ENTITY*** WARNING: Any *** individuals using this site or any of its associated sites for studies,projects or any other uses-you DO NOT have permission to use any of my profile or pictures in any form or forum both current and future.
