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.

    I am looking for someone to laugh and enjoy life with. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family and I value the relationships I have created over the years. I have worked hard over the last few years to finish my masters degree and move forward in my career and now I am ready to find someone special to share my life with--are you that person?

    Hi, if you're reading this, you probably think I'm cute and:A) want to get to know me betterB) want to get me into bedC) some combination of bothLet's cut to the chase. Please Do Not send me "sext" messages right after we just met. It's not hot. It's actually desperate and kind of creepy.Relax, I'm not being mean. Just honest.You can handle that. You're that guy who is funny and confident. You're not? Then get that other guy behind you. He's better looking anyway.Don't invite me to a movie, or an abandoned warehouse for a first date.Flowers are sweet. So are calls making sure I got home OK.Kindness is very attractive.So is honesty and self deprecating humor. Any guy who can laugh at himself and life can laugh with me.Are you still there? I know that profiles can only reveal so much, but trust me, like my favorite photographs, the colors are just what's on the surface.The meaning behind the picture is what makes it real.The talent of the artist makes it last forever.Want to be in the picture?Give me a shout.

    I\'m a classic rock and country music kinda person that doesn\'t mind getting dirty and knows how to clean up. Lots of other qualities I could list here but I\'ve dated the "perfect on paper" types - boring.
