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. 33 years old. Zodiac sign: Taurus.

    Looking for: man. In age: 30-40

    I'm just a honest, down to earth, driven, hard working girl looking for the right guy...Is that so hard?...Seems like it these days, but the adventures along the way have been pretty hilarious.As far as my interests go I feel like I have 2 different sides to my personality. I love sports (watching & playing)...I'm a river girl and have been water skiing & jet skiing since I was 4 and I work out regularly...Like any girl though, I love to shop (have a slight shoe obsession), have quiet time, and curl up on my couch with a good book. I'm fine with reality tv or MSNBC. Jeans or dresses. All just depends on my mood or what is appropriate for the setting. And I was raised to know the difference. I have a career that I love and I'm proud of my accomplishments. I bought my own home in my twenties. I'm extremely close with my family (parents have been married over 40 yrs) and they come first. I have a great group of friends and we always seem to have a good time. I'd like to meet someone to share the good times with. I think life is about telling the best story possible. It's easy to sit back and watch it happen, but it's much more rewarding to make it happen for yourself (and to have a lot of fun along the way!).I'm very affectionate and playful by nature. And I've been called feisty a time or two. I'm looking for a guy with similar interests. Someone who doesn't take himself too seriously, but has goals that he would like to accomplish...Oh yea, good looks won't hurt either! :O) For first dates, I like a place where we can actually talk...Maybe dinner or drinks...Something active always works well too!

    Woman. 35 years old. Zodiac sign: Sagittarius.

    Looking for: man. In age: 32-42

    I recently moved here from the D.C. Start as friends and see what happens. I make an effort to exercise regularly-ish, love anything involving the ocean and would love to find someone to share in the outdoor lifestyle. I'm not much of a planner, but I'm an excellent travel buddy. Basically looking for someone to share in the experience and excitement of the journey. I enjoy those deep belly laughs with good friends and pretty much love any movie with Will Ferrell. I've been trying to broaden my music taste but just still can't bring country music into the mix. Amusement park definitely.....but I'd settle for a coffee if I had to.
