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. 33 years old. Zodiac sign: Leo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 30-40

    First I'd like to say that it's beyond sad and ridiculous that I have to even say this. So yea, here's the thing...Although I'm glad that you greatly appreciate certain parts of my anatomy, it is not necessary to message me with your "charming" comments. I'm sure your mother would be so proud.Also, no to all of the following, seriously just don't even ask:-Cyber sex-Hooking up-Anything having to do with your junk-Anything and everything sexualThat is all.I've had a lot of people "complain" that there isn't enough info on my profile so here goes...I'm a single mom with two kids so I'm a very busy lady. I'm Italian so family and friends are what's most important to me. I can be kind of quiet at times but I have thoughts and opinions. I have no issue with expressing either. I'm a laid back type of person who doesn't take things too seriously. I sing and dance at random times, in the shower, while I’m cooking or cleaning, at the grocery store, to make the kids laugh. If the mood strikes me it's whatever. Oh and P.S. the car is for karaoke! I really don't care what other people think of me. I think it's important to fall in love with yourself, because one day you will be all you have. I don't go out very often but I enjoy the same things as everyone else; dinner, movies, concerts, sometimes the bar. Most of the time I hang out at the house with friends or family. I'm fine with staying home. Yes I work out, but don't confuse me with those who are all about good health! I work out ONLY because it lets me eat whatever I want. I'm not scared of a burger!I've got tattoos, but I'm classy. I'm sexy, but I'm modest. Most importantly, the one thing you should know about me is that I'm old school, so NOTHING about me is easy. I'm honest and loyal. I expect the same.Likes: Brownies Crazy thunderstorms - there's something amazing and beautiful about that kind of chaos and power. Music - I'm in love with all kinds of music. One song can speak to your soul and change your life forever. Reading/Writing - poetry or lyrics.Dislikes: spinach - I'm not eating anything that smells like feet. liars - if you break the trust you'll never get it back touching my feet - eww, enough said.As far as what I'm looking for... I believe that the best relationships start as friendships. I'd like to meet someone and start a relationship that lasts the rest of my life, but not willing to settle and I'm in no hurry. I'd like to believe that there is romance and true love like in the movies. But I know that things are only perfect in pictures. I don't expect the world to move underneath me, but it would be nice if you cared enough to try. I just need one guy to show me that chivalry is not dead.What a shame, what a shame we all remain such fragile broken things. A beauty half betrayed, butterflies with broken wings.What a mess, what a mystery we've made of love and simple things. Learning to forgive. Even when it wasn't our mistake. I don't understand why there has to be so much pressure. It's not about your surroundings, it's about the company.
