About Me

I'm on here because I just got out of a long relationship. I'm not yet entirely sold on the idea of online dating, but I'm not heavily into the bar scene, and most everyone I know is married. I am ready to meet someone more suitable for me. I work downtown and have very long days, with the commute and everything, but my weekends are mostly free. I also teach a painting class a few times a month. I also enjoy concerts, going to the movies, playing the piano, traveling to warm places (I love Vegas!), and finding interesting restaurants.My ideal match:-You're athletic (but I don't want to see pics of you flexing in the mirror at the gym. Nobody does)-You're tall / tallish / taller than me (I'm 5'9")-You're protective-You're brave (You stick up for me, but you don't start bar fights)-You're intelligent, well-read, you use proper grammar and punctuation-You're open-minded (especially when I bring out my ouija board. Ha.)-You're not clingy (but you're not a "player" either. I don't like serial daters)-You're nice to the wait staff at restaurants-You're nice to your parents (but you're not a "Momma's Boy")-You're a good father (if you have kids)-You're not obsessed with your phone (please don't constantly text in front of me)-You're a social drinker (NOT an alcoholic)-You have no other bad addictions, like drugs or gambling (although - see above - I do like Vegas)-You're strong-You're completely masculine (no feminine traits please. I don't want someone that follows me to the nail salon) -You're understanding, compassionate and kind (you would give money to a legitimate homeless person)--You're confident (not arrogant. Your friends aren't arrogant either)-You agree that there must be physical attraction, but that only gets you so far (it really is "what's inside" that counts in the long run)--You like animals (I have one cat, and you better be nice to him. I will be observing your interactions with him, and taking notes)-You're not in love with someone else (like your ex, or perhaps a co-worker or neighbor or other female (or male) acquaintance) -You're employed (You have a grown-up job, and you don't live with your parents)-You're optimistic (I need it, especially when I tend to go the opposite way)-You're passionate (not perverted)-You have my back at all times (because I will ALWAYS have yours)You'll get Extra Credit for the following:-You're like 50 years old-You love white Christmas trees-You live in the Chicagoland area-You're mechanical (I'm terrified of being stranded on the side of the road. My dad won't be around forever)-You're a good cook (because I'm terrible at it)-You're a movie and / or music buff (I love the 80's and 90's)-You're not overly religious-You let me read your palm-You're organized (I love those people with neat closets and drawers)-You don't have a crazy ex, or any kind of stalkers (you'd be surprised at the things I've experienced. I'm lucky to be alive)-You eat relatively healthy-You're creative-You're entertaining-You would run any miscellaneous errands with me, late at night, because I don't want to go out by myself in the dark-You'd sit still and let me sketch your portrait-You're interesting-You're sexy-You're rareSerious inquiries only

    Woman. 45 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.

    Looking for: man. In age: 42-52

    I'm an RN by profession and have a great future ahead of me.I work hard while i'm at work... It can be quite physical some days and mentally draining otherdays. but i cant see doing anything else. I work ***hr shifts but at the end of the day if there are patients there, I'm there. I do have some flexibility but that's not something I count on. I do have on-call responsibilities as well.. So an understanding guy is a must.i like getting out to see the sites, checking out a local festival including renaissance festivals! Tubing, good BBQ, a new ale, a new restaurant, day trips, concerts & whatever else out there that strikes me as interesting. in spite of getting wound up a little tight sometimes, i've got a decent sense of humor & look for someone that brings out the funny side.i love live music... if theres music playing, its usually rock; from classic to alternative. other types as well but in smaller doses.i enjoy watching movies & have a decentcollection.i'm also a bit of a news junkie... Talk radio to be specific. as far as what I'm looking for?? i really don't have a 'type'. i look for good character.. someone honest & trustworthy & has confidence to approach me. if you're a dad, you should be a good one; that includes an actual relationship with your kids... i dont get all hung up on an ideal, but we should be attractive to each other & bring out the best in each other. i always notice a great smile and arms first. i do expect great conversation. theres nothing worse than feeling like you've nothing to talk about or feel like you have to pull an exchange out of someone when you're trying to get to know each other. I also think a guy should be able to dress for the occasion & be well socialized. So please don't show up looking like you rolled out of bed.I love fast cars & motorcycles, preferably domestic types :)of course, like so many out there, theres much more to me that what i've put down here. thats the fun part of getting to know someone new :)If you're going to message me? Have a picture. If you don't, I don't bother.Happy fishing :)Oh... You should know what youre wanting. Im looking for an actual relationship. Not like im expecting a ring on a second date, but at least be in that mind set to actually be willing to put some time into it if we hit it off. It does seem to take some effort these days & i'm willing to do that. So.. Hopefully you'll be enough in touch with yourself you can recognize a good thing when you have it. it can be as simple as dinner & drinks or coffee... lots of conversation. i'm open to some creativity too. think it would be something of a shared interest or something goin on in the area that would be enjoyable.
