About Me

Ok so here we go again. I am a single mom of a 5-year-old boy who is with me full time. I love sports, music (symphonic metal, hard rock, Celtic rock, and Irish, among many other genres), reading, history (World War II in particular), and anything competitive (pool, horseshoes, shuffleboard, beer pong, whatever). From spring to fall I play a lot of softball. I enjoy most sports and am a big fan of the Razorbacks, Braves, Saints, Thunder, and Bruins (hockey). I like going out for karaoke, and yes, I'm relatively decent at it! I'm not always a happy person, but I like to laugh and smile, even if it's just sarcastically. I have a very smart-ass sense of humor that can come across as abrasive. I'm not beautiful or perfect, but I always try my best to be as close to both as possible. I tend to be defensive, but I suppose 32 years of rejection and disappointment has built up my wall. I've almost gotten to the point where I'm afraid to like anyone because I don't want to go through any of those feelings again. But the right person can/would/should help me break through that.I'm a little old fashioned and shy. I can come across as rather intense, but I believe anything worth having is worth working for and anything worth doing is worth doing right, so I try to give my best and my all in everything I do. I prefer for the man to make the first move (i.e., initiate conversation, ask me out first, etc.), and I expect him to be a gentleman (i.e., opening doors, using manners, etc.) The main reason for that is, as a single mom, I try really hard to teach my son to be a gentleman, and I would like him to have someone he can look up to for examples and proof of how a man should truly treat a woman.Everyone always asks what I'm looking for, so I'll just lay it out there. I am looking for happiness. Someone who adores me as much as I adore him. Someone who makes me smile because he loves to see me smile, and calls or texts or whatever because he wants to, not out of a sense of obligation. Someone who loves my child as he would his own and appreciates/respects my parenting. (By the way, I want to physically have more kids. That's non-negotiable. I expect your kids to treat me with respect and behave as I expect my own child to.) Someone I can talk to and not run out of things to say. Someone who can be apart from me but doesn't necessarily like it. Someone who can take care of me and protect me, not because I need it, but because he enjoys it. Because everything I get, I give in return. Someone I can trust, respect, and be proud of. And basically, that's it. I just want to be happy. Thanks for reading all this (probably all none of you!). And just for the record, I don't like dating. It's expensive and stressful, and honestly, I think it's just a shallow excuse people use when they don't want to commit. They say, oh I'm just dating around. Well, not me. I'm not saying one date and I jump into marriage. If I think I'll like someone, I'll go on a date with him. If I don't like him, I won't see him again. If I do like him, I will see only him. I like to devote my time and attention to one person, and I appreciate the same in return. Must be able to communicate often and effectively. And at least give me a chance. But please don't tell me you're a nice guy and not like other men. Every guy tries to tell me that, then he turns out to be just like every other jerk I've ever met. Prove it to me *** what you mean, and do what you say. A nice dinner and drinks. Unless you can think of something more interesting, in which case I am happy to consider.

    Woman. 34 years old. Zodiac sign: Scorpio.

    Looking for: man. In age: 31-41

    I like to go hang out with my friends, go out to bars and dance, read, play video games, and watch movies and some tv. I like all kinds of music...rock, country, r&b and rap, pop...pretty much anything that I can dance to. I am looking for new and interesting people to get to know and have fun with.Im an avid reader, so you will never see me without a book. I read all kinds of stuff, but mostly historical fiction or some fantasy (not the elfen world kind, but vampire and werewolf kind).I have made it a mission to watch all of AFIs top ***movies. Lately I have gotten into watching documentaries. Some of my favorite movies are: Pan's Labrynth, Skyfall, Moon, The Usual Suspects, Boondock Saints, Restrepo, X-Men First Class, and The Avengers.I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel and pretty much anything Joss Whedon. I also enjoy Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, The Tudors, and That 70s Show. I also just got into watching a lot of British TV. Doctor Who and Torchwood are my faves, followed closely by Sherlock and Downton Abby.Right now I have been listening to a lot of podcasts. My favs right now are The Nerdist, The After Disaster, Sex Nerd Sandra, You Made It Weird, The Film Vault, Comedy Film Nerds, How Did This Get Made, and Doug Loves Movies. 90's rock is my favorite music, but I also like rock, some rap/r&B, and country. I will listen to almost anything really.Things I am looking for in a man:Must be a nerd/geek, or be able to tolerate and respect that I am one...I will not change or hide this for anyone.Must be intelligent. By this I do not mean that you have to have a college degree, but I do enjoy having intelligent discussions about a variety of things.Must be able to be goofy, laugh, and in general have fun...I do not want someone that takes EVERYTHING seriously. Yes, there are things in life that we must be serious about, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun doing them.Must have a job and car. I have these myself, and I will not be the one to financially support a relationship. I am not looking for someone to support me, I am looking for someone to be a partner/equal in a relationship.

    I'm begging to wonder if this is a waste of time.... I enjoy listening to music ( a variety) & hanging out with friends. If you're all about playing games or still hung up on your ex, don't bother. I'm pretty shy & quiet at first until I'm comfortable around that person. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Have a good day! IF YOU SAY YOU WANT TO MEET & PLANS ARE MADE, DO NOT FLAKE OUT OR YOU WILL NOT MEET ME!!!! Something where we can talk and have a good conversation...
