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.

    And I am not real complicated I always try to just keep it real I will tell you now my nails are fake my hair is real but fake and my lashes are probably gonna be fake I am all about using whatever u can to stay looking as young as you want to feel or as good as you can. however, everything else is 100% authentic and I am probably not the one to ask if you can't handle the truth I say what I mean and mean what i say and I'm not real good at beating around the bush I have a tendency of just spitting it out and I can't stand it when someone tells you something they think you want to hear that makes me crazy I'm never gonna ask you does my ass look big in these pants because if you don't already know the answer to that question then dear god go put a skirt on. lol so when I do ask someones opinion, that is what i honestly want. I am 5'9 and 6 ft in heels and I am not skinny and i'm not fat i am a healthy girl with curves. My goal is to find the ONE and I'm hoping that when I meet him I will just know. Although it hasn't happened yet I'd like to think it could.,. Until then I'm just dating. I'd love to fall in love and live happily ever after. But until then I'm just dating, which means you really can't take this whole online dating thing real serious or your gonna get your feelings hurt. So in order to prevent that from happening I've decided to just take a different approach to it. We all have a preference in what we are looking for in the person we want to date and sometime what we see in our profiles aren't what we find in person it doesn't mean it has to be the end of the world, I promise you won't break my heart if I'm not your preference, believe me when I say their is always another man or woman right around the corner! So to me how we end the date is the most important part, because weather their be a love connection or not I would like to think at the very least I made a new friend then no body looses or gets their feelings hurt. And who couldn't use another friend. As for what I am looking for in a man, I want someone who can make me laugh and who is his own man and walks with confidence and has a good honest heart that turns me on. It's really about his looks for me, I mean that's nice and all but to me sexy is where it's at and sexy isn't about what you look like on the outside it comes from inside, it's all about how you feel in your jeans and how you feel in your skin that is what makes you sexy. Oh and of course a pair of cowboy boots that sends me over the top for sure. lol As for me, I have a huge heart and more empathy then a lot of people I can truly feel someones pain and from where they came. I relate to everyone and I think everyone has a story some good some not so good but its what you do with the information you have learned that is what is important and who am I to judge anyone I've had my own share of heart aches and bad luck bad choices but that is what makes us who we are today and I like who I am today. And for those men who thought I was stuck up because of my reaction or response to your compliment assure you I'm not stuck up I just don't see myself as beautiful and I not good at taking a compliment, I get embarrassed and am never sure what to say. If I have any beauty at all I think it is in my heart not my appearance. So i'm not stuck up! I'm just saying ! lol It really doesn't take a lot to impress me, I guess you could say I'm a cheap date. lol I think the best first date is maybe some dinner, great conversation and a lot of laughter. That to me is a great first date.

    Hello, I love the outdoors, camping, hiking and just about anything that keeps me active. I love to travel as well. Ive been to 34 countries so far. I would like to find a guy who shares my same interests and has some of his own. I'm happy with my life right now but would like to find that special someone who makes it even better. I like all kinds of music, yes, even country!! I'm looking for a guy who really wants to meet at some point. Not someone who just wants an *** be emotionally available and able to communicate. My ideal first date would be to meet for coffee or lunch with no expectations. Just see if we have enough in common to click. It only takes 10 minutes to figure that out.

    I love the outdoors, and looking for a cowboy to share it with. Horses, camping, and rivertime are my favorite pastimes.-up. I like old school rock and some country. I've played in several local bands, and would luv to find someone who is musically inclined. I can tollerate some rap or regae, but not really into that scene. I am 46 yrs old, and am currently attending college with 4.0 GPA. I have an AS in Adm. Justice from CR. And I am going to HSU for my BA in behavioral science. With all my spare time, I am also remodeling my house, and enjoying my gardin. I have fruit trees, and vegis. A country gal at heart coffee shop to see if the chemistry even exists.
