Okay, so recently broke up with someone, ironically that I met on meetville, he was a great person and I have to say I am glad to say I can still call him my friend. I am not a picky person, but please understand first and foremost, I don't want to waste your or my own time, I have never dated an african american guy, and choose not to, not for any reason outside of I am not attracted to them. I like to be around people, I am not one who gets jealous often, and I don't care about flirting in moderation, there are limits, and I am usually pretty good at setting them in the beginning. I have four kids, I don't want a daddy for my kids, they all have daddy's. I want someone for me, someone who can understand that I am human I do make mistakes, and I can do the same for them, but just know that I won't sit here and let you make mistake after mistake, if you didn't learn the first time, well, then my guess is you won't learn a second time. Trust is a big thing for me, if you don't trust me, and I feel like I can't trust you, well then there's no need to be in a relationship. If you are looking to control someone, please go to the next profile, if I wanted to be controled, I would have joined the military. For that matter I am an ex military wife two times over, it didn't work out all too well for them. I prefer a guy who is willing to take care of himself and if the need comes can take care of me as well, I don't want someone who expects to be able to stay home with nothing to do all day but play video games, but please make sure if you want to be with me, that you can make time for me as well. I am an animal lover. I have quite a few, well I have three dogs and two cats, so if you don't like either of them, they were here first! See ya. On another note, I am friends with quite a few of my ex's, so if that's something you are not willing to deal with, well again, see ya, friends come right along with my family, hell most of my friends are considered family. Just because they didn't work out with me romantically doesn't mean they aren't great people.Lastly, I am not looking to jump into a relationship with anyone, I would like to take the time to actually get to know you, and I am a traditionalist when it comes to dating, I do expect you to hold the door, and pay for the first date, and know that the first date is not going to land you in my bed. Or me in your bed for that matter. And I will know if you don't read my profile, cause you will manage to say something that I know you should have seen in this long as thing, if you made it this far I know you might possibly be able to handle seeing me in my natural enviroment so feel free to message me, I am not a shy person at all.If you're too afraid to message me here, catch me on ***, Wendy Breezy! Surprise me, but don't expect me to pay!

I'm looking for the right partner, not just a partner for right now. Relationships take work and commitment, but they also need common ground and goals.I generally receive a lot of messages here. Certainly more than many of my male friends who have profiles. That being said, I've noticed a trend. I get a lot of messages from people with the bare minimum of a profile that simply say "Hi" or "Your [sic] pretty". These short messages and the generally unsatisfactory quality of communication that results, led me to add a character limit on initial *** know some of the great guys might not be so wordy, but I'm pretty verbose as you'll note from the length of my profile and there is a TON of stuff you could ask about or comment on. Tell me about you and why you think we might fit, please? You're busy, I'm busy... let's make sure we're on the same page from the get go. I appreciate the compliments, but if you've read my profile you might glean that complimenting my looks isn't going to get you far, at least not without some other content. I like compliments (like most women), but there is a LOT more to me than the surface. The partner I'm looking for will see that. Another trend I've noticed is 'ping pong', a dozen messages back and forth and what appears to be no actual intent on meeting in person. So, I'm laying it on the line right now, right here. If you're interested and we've chatted via messages here, we should get a cup of coffee in person. There is zero point in spending a lot of time getting to know each other online if there is no chemistry in person and/or no way of verifying the other person is who they say they are. I know I'm real, but you have no way of knowing that until we meet. Right? I'm a pretty great girl who through some magnificent twists of fate has been happily single for the past few years, there have been a few intermittent periods of dating but I haven't found a match that really clicks with me and the direction my life is headed in the long term. Some of the twists of fate were amazing, positive experiences and others were more difficult. However, I've stayed unattached because I haven't found the right person...and you can't find the right person if you're attached to the wrong one. Timing can be everything in whether a match works or doesn't, I've been thwarted by that particular demon too many times to get involved with someone I know isn't the right match for the long haul. I know how wonderful the right fit can be in a relationship, so I am reluctant to be in the wrong fit, I refuse. I wouldn't wear a pair of shoes that were the wrong size, why would I settle for the wrong fit in my personal life? I'd rather be single and satisfied with my life, then tied down to someone who is distracting me from my goals. Dating is a trial and error thing, sometimes I'll make a great new friend and sometimes...not so much. Yes, I know what I'm looking for, but it isn't a checklist. I don't care if you have blond hair or blue hair; drive a sports car or a 60s Bug; are an artist or an engineer. I do care about your personality, honesty and ability to be real. If we don't have the same 'end game', no amount of force will make anything work...at least not in the long run. I'm an artist and as such am pretty right brained, yet I've also worked very successfully and happily as an office manager and book keeper (very left brained). I prefer to be able to be spontaneous but have found a certain amount of planning does help make things go smoother and is often necessary in this era with jobs and outside responsibilities. I have one child currently living at home, he's 17. My daily lifestyle is much closer to that of a childless person than that of a parent of young children, except during my younger kids' vacations. I'm open to dating someone with children, but not open to playing mommy to younger kids. If your kids are under 10, I don't know if it will work. I've gotten rather used to the amount of freedom that comes with not having to be home for an 8:30 bedtime. ;-) That doesn't mean it won't work, it just has to be the right connection between us to make it a non-issue. I came to the conclusion while I was traveling (6 months out of the US), that while "things" are nice (I do enjoy and adore my iPhone and Kindle), I would be happier with a simpler life in general. I started thinking about the food we eat here and how commercial farming (and grocery stores) distance us from our food supply; How the tv keeps us distracted from the important things happening in our own lives and in our government...There are bigger issues than the latest episode of The Walking Dead (which I do love). I want nothing more than to move to some land in the country and build a home if there isn't on already there... and raise the livestock that will eventually be on the dinner table and grow the majority of the produce that we eat. So, that's my plan. That's the direction I'm headed. I also want to put in space for various arts and a kitchen designed for teaching cooking. I'm not a fancy cook, but "Organic peasant" would describe the hearty, wholesome food I most enjoy eating and preparing. If I meet the right life partner who already has the land/lifestyle, AWESOME. Anyone I get involved with seriously will be heading the same direction...I'm not interested in wasting time in the wrong fit. If I don't meet the right person, I'm going to do it on my own because I know I'm happier when I'm doing something I care about. Until I get my land, I'm doing what I can within the limits of the 'rules' of our fair city. I have 4 chickens, who are finally laying...well at least some of them are...2 eggs a day now, so I think I'm down to my last purchased dozen for a while. :-) I have a fair sized garden which has produced a fair amount of veggies for us this summer...although I should have planted twice as much broccoli and three or four times as many peas and beans. I'm building a Quonset hut style greenhouse to try to extend my growing season. I like having organic greens 25' from my backdoor and I'd love to have access to fresh "off season" summer veggies. I'm keeping busy. I'm active. I'm eating right. I'm happy. If I'm single for the next 5 years, well that will be disappointing because it will mean I haven't met the right person, but it doesn't mean my life will have been on pause. I don't know if I'll live 50 years more or 100, but I do know I'm going to do my damnedest to make the most of whatever amount of time I have and to enjoy it and be happy. Something reasonably casual, like coffee or lunch. Meeting someone online isn't meeting. It's meeting when you finally see each other in person...that is when you start to find out if there might be more of a connection or not.
