Before you read too far, just wanted to note that I have sole custody of my son, and he is with me full time. If that doesn't faze you, read on, the next sentence might, haha! Here we go...Single mom to a 10-year-old son. He and I are quite the team and have tons of fun. That said, there are times when I need to escape, and think I am ready to step out on a date! Honestly, I'm a lil' scared at the prospect of trying again, so I prefer to treat this as simply meeting new friends. I work very hard, and my son, he comes first, so it leaves little time to relax and converse. But I'm willing to try if you're not certifiably crazy, still curious about life, and not always lazy. As for me, I am impatient, tenacious, and slightly neurotic at times. Like my incessant need to make all this crap rhyme! On the flip-side, however, I am loving and kind; and a horrible liar who loves to kick back and unwind.I want someone who is passionate in all his endeavors, who is always a gentleman, quick-witted, and clever. This is just a brief outline of what I seek in a mate, and if I find him through this venue, then it has to be fate!Single dad's are welcomed and encouraged to reply. That's it for now. Thanks for reading. Bye-Bye!Update: Just to add a little more information, I have been single a long time, by choice. I have used this time to focus on my son, to grow as a woman and a mother, and to just...be. Until recently, and even still at times, I have felt that being a single parent and dating were very difficult to co-mingle, so for the most part, I chose to focus on being a mother as it was what I felt was right, and quite honestly, it was easier. That being said, I feel that now that my son is getting older, it is a little easier for me to allow myself to date without guilt. I am not looking for anything casual. Dating with children is just not the same as dating pre-children (at least not for me). I am a 44-year-old woman and mom looking for a real connection with someone who gets that at this stage of life, with children, it really is a package deal. I hope to find someone who gets me, who gets single-parenthood, who gets that in order for there to be an us, there has to be a mutual respect for our children and our respective situations. I know we are all on here searching for someone, albeit maybe for different things based on where we are in our lives. So if I am not what you are seeking, I wish you all the best on your search. Something simple like a walk in the park

The poem quoted below speaks profoundly to me, and for me. I can say this, now, at this point in my life, only because it has taken me quite a while to get here. I do not regret one minute, the men, the years, or the decisions (good or bad) that have gotten me here—now. They were all steps along the way which have not only enabled me to understand the depth of this poem, but have created the ability for me to implement its meaning into my daily life. It represents how I try to live my life in every moment (when I can remember to do so).“To know that I am no-thing, that is wisdom. To know that I am everything, that is love. And between these two, my life moves.”el bistamiBut, seriously, I am not this serious. Just a deeper aspect of myself. I live to laugh. Love to laugh.I am open, self deprecating, and live with integrityI need to laugh at myself daily. And to create all sorts of movement in my life....I try to accept all that life has to offer on a daily basiswith courage, compassion, and kindness as best I can. However, I do miss the world terribly. Working diligently (and at times distractedly) on recreating a new life at home for myself. Taking the time to figure it all out while continuing to work with children in one capacity or another.I sometimes contradict myself because it ultimately expose oneself to finding your true inner desire by facing your own contradictions you didn't know you held? But I do have solid integrity and am grounded for the most part.I am physically active and love to hike, bike, walk, roller-blade, and play a lot of soccer when I am fit. When I am working on getting fit (again) I do all the same stuff daily-- just a lot less vigorously. I also do yoga and pilates regularly because I love how they feel. I need to move daily in one form or another, without it I would go mad. But, I am no longer a fanatic.My life is constantly changing, as it should. I try to remain open everyday to what life brings and work to take action to bring what I want into my life.Looking for love and a LTR if I can ever find that right mix of a guy at the perfect time?? It has proven elusive for far too long.I am spiritual and practice kindness to self and others daily.... Coffee, drinks, a walk, or dinner...or any combination thereof.

- Whether its a car ride up the coast for the weekend or checking out a new microbrew - its all good. I love to read historical fiction and enjoy wandering around my local library and spending Saturday morning walking to the local Coffee Bean with friends. I have a busy work and social life and I am looking for someone who has the same but wants to try to fit all the pieces together or make a mess of it all!I raise money and manage public relations for a small non- I have worked in this field for over 17 years. I am involved in the community and enjoy volunteering and attending charity events. I find the best relationships are those where the two pwople are in the same generation and have some common interests but also have difference that challenge eachother. I am looking for someone who is intelligent, focused on helping others, is happy in their own skin and looking for someone to share their life.After a couple months on meetville I have a few comments:I am really interested in dating men who are educated, have a job that pays money, and are between the ages of 38 and 52. I do not have a "Daddy" complex and do not want to be someone's sugar mamma. That being said, if you are 35 or 53 and have your sh*ttogether I might be interested. I am really looking for someone to have a relatinship with so if you live outside of LA dating will be difficult and I will probably not write to you and I am not looking to just "hook-up". If you are 62 years old and have listed your age as 45 because your friends tell you don't look a day over ***get new friends. If you lie about your age / career from the very beginning it is really hard to believe anything else you have said. Because I recently had a very disturbing incident with a man who showed up for a date who was not the person in his picture and 20 years older than the picture he posted, I will not provide my phone number / personal *** am comfortable that you are the person you claim to be. If you have no picture or only one picture, I will probably not write back until you update you profile. It is sad that I have to be so direct but unfortunately I have felt that my safety has been placed in jeopardy by people who are dilusional.
