About Me

Hello! Thanks for checking me out! ;) First, I have to say that I've noticed a lot of guys write "no drama" on their page. I have a 16 year old boy and 12 year old girl, so yes, (fortunately) I have drama in my life. If you have a little girl and don't, please let me know your secret. ;0) We all know that everything is the end of the world for little girls. lol I enjoy spending time with my kids and I'm very thankful that they still want me around for the time being! As much as I love them, I also enjoy having my "me time" and I would love to find someone to share it with. I cannot have any more children, but I am completely fine dating someone that has children. I am a pretty simple person. I honestly do try to keep things simple. I love being outdoors in the summertime. I like camping and fishing, (yes, I can bait my own hook), cooking out, working in my flower beds, riding bikes, hanging out with friends & family, amusement parks, or basically anything else that keeps me active. I also like to just sit and observe nature and relax. In the winter I tend to hibernate most of the time. I like to work on projects around the house and cuddle up on the couch and watch movies. I work out 5 to 6 days a week and try to eat healthy most of the time, but I still love an ice cold beer or two while I'm cooking out. I also love cooking and trying new recipes. I'm very outgoing and try my best to be open-minded and accepting of others. I'm a very affectionate, caring person and must have someone that is the same. I enjoy meeting new people, going to new places, and learning new things. I'm that person that talks to everyone in the line at the grocery store, (or anywhere else for that matter). I'm currently going to school to get my Bachelor's degree in Health Sciences. Between school and kids it doesn't leave a lot of time to meet new people. Living in Mayberry doesn't exactly help either. lol However, I remain very optimistic that I will meet my "special someone" some day! Until then it's just all a part of the journey... I'm looking for someone that is affectionate, has a good sense of humor, enjoys new experiences, has a positive attitude, and takes their responsibilities seriously. I am looking for someone that is physically active, fairly fit, and able to keep up with me. Of course the standard good attributes like honesty, integrity, morals, etc... still apply. If any of this sounds good to you, then send me a message. If not, that's OK too. If everyone was a match then we all wouldn't be on here, right?! I hope to hear from you! Have a wonderful day! :) Honestly, anything that involves laughter and good conversation works great for me! If you set parameters or expectations on it, then you might be missing out on new experiences.

    Woman. 38 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.

    Looking for: man. In age: 35-45

    If you are not going to take the time to read my full profile, please do not contact me. It's frustrating to answer questions when the answer of some questions are aleady in my profile. Just sayin'. Also, I AM NOT ON HERE FOR A HOOK UP! I am looking for that one person that I can trust, believe, have faith in, who would never purposely do anything to hurt me. Someone who makes a conscience decision to not do things that might jeopardize our relationship. I am looking for my best friend. That one person I can do anything with, the one person that I can talk about anything to. I am not interested in drama, lies, betrayal, or anything negative. In return, I will do the same for that person. Life is too short to be unhappy, so happiness all the way, with the understanding that sometimes life throws us curveballs; but nothing too big within our control that we cannot overcome. Honesty is very important. Without trust, there is nothing. I don't have "favorites", meaning, I try to enjoy all things. I don't have a favorite song, music, movie genre's, activities, etc. I am open to doing new things, within reason that is. I try to find the positives in life. Some people might complain of a rainy day, I look at it more as: well, I can get stuff done around the house so I can enjoy the next good weather day. Or, I look at rainy days as "cuddle weather" time. There is so much that I am sure that I can put in this section of my profile, but if you are wanting to get to know me, then contact me and we will go from there. :) I do have children, but please do not ask me questions about them as I do not know you at this time. Also, please note that my profile says "separated". I am giving you the truth. I am not interested in making that work, I tried, but it failed. I have realized that with that relationship, no matter what I did, the other party involved would/could not step up to do the right things to maintain it. Until resolved, I have felt that I have been in limbo and that is not where I want to be. I do think that one should finish something before you goes on...but in this case...it is now a waiting thing and I choose to be happy, so who is with me?***I am not trying to be rude or mean by my next statement in anyway...but...I would prefer that you be atleast 5'10" maybe 5'9", but ideally 5'10" or taller. I love wearing my pretty shoes and I really don't want to put them on and then I'm taller than you. For me, it's just uncomfortable. Please also have witts to you. I just do not prefer to have a conversation with someone that seems to be clueless about everything. I don't expect you to know everything about everything, but I'm not wanting to talk to an idiot either. Players, liars, cheaters, beaters, drama filled people, negative people, no ambition/drive/motivation, and problem starters - STAY AWAY! Again, I am open to many things. I can't really say what I would prefer a first date to be, other than, use this time to get to know the person. I would not prefer the first date to be something like going to a movie. If we were to go to a movie, we are not giving the other person our attention. The attention would be on the movie...so I don't recommend that for a first date. Something more along the lines of a picnic, a museum, an amusement park, a zoo, or maybe even walk around a city/town and explore what that town has to offer. This way, we are doing something together, with the opportunity to talk and get to know what each likes and doesn't. I think those things would probably be good for a SECOND date...so how about, the first date be a casual, get to know each other conversation during a nice walk or a cup of coffee?

    Woman. 39 years old. Zodiac sign: Sagittarius.

    Looking for: man. In age: 36-46

    I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I guess I'll know when it finds me. :) But, it's definitely not a hook up, so if that's your deal, carry on, and good luck. Looks aren't everything to me, but anyone would be lying if they said they didn't play some role in initial attraction. I'm definitely a sucker for sexy eyes..I'm a very sociable person who enjoys a fun night out as much as a quiet night in. I work alot, so when I get some free time, I like to make it count. I'm very dedicated to my family and friends, and am looking for someone who will fit in with them as well as they do with me. I believe that I have the easiest friends & family to get along with. Very laid back, easy going people, who always have my back... sometimes even when I'm wrong! ;)Communication is definitely key with me. Respect will get you everywhere. I'm pretty straight forward and honest, and expect the same from my significant other. I also don't require all of your time, but I don't mess with guys who feel the need to get attention from multiple women at the same time. Guaranteed, I'll be enough for you. :) Don't get it wrong... I love spending time with the people that mean the most to me, however, I believe that everyone needs and deserves their "me" time.I absolutely love to get together with friends around a bonfire or a table and play games or just relax and enjoy their company. I do go out at least once a week for either my volleyball league or dart league. If I were to meet you for the first time in person, a cheesy pick up line or telling me I'm pretty wouldn't get you further than a "Thank you". It won't work on here, either. :) Try something with a little more substance. Stimulating conversation will definitely get you further than an empty compliment. Truth? It's very unlikely that I'll make first contact. I'm a little old fashioned like that. If I "view" your profile & don't contact you, it's not necessarily because I'm not interested in talking to you. I just don't like wasting my time, or yours, if there's not a mutual interest. So feel free to message me. :)A few random facts about me that you'll have to deal with: I'm a diehard Cowboys fan, I have an obsession with bacon, I have 10 tastefully done and placed tattoos, and I fear and LOATH spiders. If you won't kill or remove a spider for me, we'll never get along. ;) (I should've started this out by saying, "Call me Ishmael.")
