About Me

I'm just me. :) I am a full-time student and newly single mom to an amazingly bright 9-year old who is my world. I have been out of the dating loop for a long while and am kind of new to this, so I'm a little unsure about what to say here. But, I'm a quick learner. ;)After working in the service industry for ***years (because that is just what I've always done and what I know), I am now back in college and working towards getting a teaching degree with the hopes of eventually teaching middle school or high school History. I am a bit of a nerd at heart (okay... maybe a lot a bit... lol)... I am always reading or looking up new things trying to expand my base of useless knowledge. :)I love all kinds of music, but tend to steer clear of newer country or hardcore rap. I love discovering new music and going to concerts. I love movies of all kinds. I love reading (when I have time or can stay awake... LOL), especially historical fiction. See? Kind of geeky, but I like to think it's just part of my charm. ;)I cannot STAND games or players... be straightforward. I'm a big girl, I can take it. ;)I am opinionated, but open minded and tolerant. I am headstrong, but also capable of listening to reason. I am quirky and accepting of others quirks. Yes... I have very short hair, and no, I won't consider growing it out... it suits me. ;) I am straight-forward and honest, and expect the same from others.I am an open book... ask me anything and I'll give you an honest answer. I prefer a good beer over wine. I prefer watching a good movie over Nascar. I can have a conversation with anyone (I've never met a stranger... ), but can get a little shy when the conversation is focused on me (I blush easily). I know I may not be everybody's cup of tea, but that's fine by me... I don't even like tea. ;)What am looking for? Kindness, a killer sense of humor, confidence, HONESTY, good conversation, wit, intelligence, respectfulness, shared interests, individuality, an infectious laugh, a great smile, wicked chemistry and *butterflies*. :) Also, the choices given for what my "intent" may be are way too generic... I am looking to get to know someone and see where it goes. I'm not anti-relationship; I just don't want to jump into anything, but rather ease into it. In other words, no ***, just add me and I'm not just cruising this site for hook-up's. There's a middle ground, right? :)**Just as an aside to see who actually reads this, I don't really understand the whole "Meet Me" feature on here...;So and So wants to meet you"... it just seems less impersonal. :)Also, as I said, I am not looking for just a hook-up or a fling. So, all of you that are (ESPECIALLY you married creepers looking for a mistress), please just save the wear and tear on your keyboard and keep looking. I'd be game for just about anything that involved good conversation and laughing until my cheeks hurt.

    Woman. 39 years old. Zodiac sign: Virgo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 36-46

    Updated: I don’t feel like re-writing my profile, I am just going to add to it and you can read what you would like to read on here. I have been back on here since the beginning of the summer. I have chatted with many the first time, less this time around, very very few have I met in person and only one have I allowed in my home to meet my children whom pissed me off because I am a good mother,that is important to me and he was misleading me. I seriously wanted to delete this because of him. If you have my phone number then you are luckier than the other men that wanted it and didn’t get it. I don’t normally make first contact, did that, done that the first time on here, if I have contacted you first then you have written something on your profile that interested me. I do keep in touch with some that I chat with that I have found that are good decent men, straight up honest and some who are faithful to their woman that they finally found. I do respect that and am happy for them. I don’t feel I need to blow myself up to bullsh*t you in using fancy adjectives in my writing, I am not in classes to be graded at this time. I like to keep things real. I have hopes in meeting that one man that is worth my wild and when I meet that one special man I will delete this profile.I hope to meet someone that can make me an importance in their life. Now, that doesn't mean drop everything and make me center, it just means that I like having little actions shown of making an effort, such as, a phone call or some texts throughout the day. No matter how busy or whatever may be going on, to me, a little effort of calling tells me your thinking of me...I am attracted to men that has a heart in showing they care. yet, keeps the flirty,charming, funny and excitement going no matter what comes across or dealing with in life situations, good or bad. If you happen to be a load heated angry man, that doesn't care who is around while venting your anger, then please move on.. My point of view in my life is that am not willing to deal with B S, game playing or waste my time for weeks in finding out later that there are three other women your smoothing up in having an interest for. I feel am too old for crap like that in which I have experiences on this site a few times. If your recently divorced, or going through a divorce/married, please move on. I spend most of my time working, taking care of my day to day responsibilities,. I think of myself as a strong willed, independent woman. I like to live an okay stable life. The best joy to me in my life is being a mother to my kids. I been raising my kids on my own for well over 12 years alone by choice. I am shy at first until I get to know a person. I am not too crazy about stress, drama or conflicts, those three are things I do run from. I am a firm believer of respect and on the same hand, I am not afraid to speak my mind when I feel I need to.. How I am treated is how I will treat a person back. Once in a while I do like to stop and have a drink at the bar. I like to do a mixture of different activities.Try not to make plans because they seem to not work out as planed.Doing the same thing over and over I get bored of after a while.

    Woman. 37 years old. Zodiac sign: Pisces.

    Looking for: man. In age: 34-44

    I'm very new to the whole online dating scene, so I might be a lil shy. I love fishing, boating, and just laying in the sun. I'm defiantly not afraid of a lil mud. I love being in the woods with a nice camp fire and a ice cold beer. I listen to all kinds of music but i seem to listen to country music the most (I guess it depends on my mood). I'm not to much into the club scene anymore but i do love to hang with my friends and family at a local bar listening to a band or shooting a game of pool. I also love sports. Football is my favorite. U would be surprised of how much I know about the game. Anyways I'm a pretty relaxed and chill kinda girl. I'm not into drama at all. I really enjoy meeting new people, so if you'd like to contact me plz do. I'd love to get to know you
