About Me

Hi!Thank you for stopping by! I enjoy the outdoors, the warmth of the sun and good friends. I have a 23 y/o daughter and she is currently living at home. She is a recent graduate from Hamline University. I asked her to say one good thing about me for my meetville profile. She rolls her eyes and says, "ugh...really? I guess you would be the cool mom." I realized that being the cool mom is not so bad. .......... I have never married, however I was in a 23 year long-term relationship with my Daughter's father.I am the property manager at a ***unit residential rental home community. I am in the process of finishing my last semester towards my Bachelors Degree in Law Enforcement/Criminal Justice and currently enrolled in my last two classes. I graduate in December ***. I volunteer for many non-profits, such as; a victim's advocate/liaison, the annual "Hope Rocks"-call for one of the Metro Sheriff's Departments. My journey has made me who I am and I feel good in my own skin. I tend to be competitive, walk off the beaten path, and I occasionally will step out of my comfort zone. I prefer honesty over flattery and I have a low tolerance for drama. Our vulnerabilities and imperfections are often what allow others to relate to us. My favorite types of food include; Sushi/sashimi, Thai, Indian, Mexican.....however a burger and a beer at a small town bar is always a great option. My musical tastes are all over the board, however I recently started listening to Cities 97. Does this mean I am growing up? I am 5' ***" and looking for someone at least my height or taller, between the ages of ***. I am attracted to men that are physically active, have dark hair, clean shaven (or have very little facial hair), adventurous, silly and playful. I am looking for laughter, "spark" (chemistry) and mutual attraction.-chain restaurants, bonfires, waterfalls, small towns, craft beers, margaritas, walking/hiking on the wooded trails and experiencing new adventures. Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it.One thing I want to do in the Spring ***is get my motorcycle endorsement/license. I always wanted to learn....plus my new bike is just sitting in the garage waiting. The happiest people do not have the best of everything, they make the best of everything! ;) First meet: Somewhere public and quiet. Happy hour, coffee, a local park or lake. If the chemistry is there, then a date would be the next step.

    To put things short and sweet....Simple country girl. Mom to 3 boys (2 grown 1 still home). Not into trying to be someone I'm not. What you see is what you get. Love to be outdoors, fishing, camping, bike riding, boating, etc. I am independent, can do things for myself, but would like to have someone to share things with. Someone to do things with and enjoy just being together. (Watching a movie or taking a walk while holding your own hand just isn't working for me)I love to laugh. I find fun in most everything. I'm very upbeat and want someone who is also full of life.I am honest, strong-willed, determined and energetic. I am NOT materialistic, hateful, untrustworthy or a city girl.I can be your best friend (if you let me) , but mistreat me and you don't get a second chance. Been stabbed in the back, walked on, and drug through the trenches too many times to play those games again. You get what you give.Looking for someone that can appreciate affection and gives it in return. Must be honest, and doesn't play games of the heart or mind. If you want affection, you gotta give it. If you want a partner in life, you have to be one, too. Ready to have someone that wants to be there for me like I will be for them. AGAIN..you get what you give. Probably gonna be a little hard to get me to break down my safety net at first (I'm working on this part), but once you do, I'm completely yours. So PLEASE make sure I'm what you want before you start messing with my heart.Yes, I know I'm no Barbie Doll. I know I don't look like the model all you guys think you want. I am, however, the real thing. I'm not fake or a drama queen. I don't mind to get dirty (actually enjoy it at times) and know how to take care of business no matter what the situation. So if your not ready for something real, and you still need your little high maintenance princess arm candy, then go right on past me. I don't NEED someone, I WANT someone, there is a big difference. Go somewhere quiet so we are able to talk and get to know each other. I want to hear about your life, your dreams, your interests.

    Looking for: man. In age: 43-53

    About me well this is something that is totally up to the individual you might meet in your life. If you were to ask my family they would say I am a good person, a good mom and kind to others. If you were to ask my friends they would say I am funny, smart and caring and a bit of a smart ass. There is a lot about me I am not perfect never try to be what you see is what you get. My interests vary I like to cook, go out, watch movies, read and go to museums. I like old cars and baseball and I like to garden, and swim. Camping is good but I am not a real out doors person. Although I do seem go to outside a lot …loll the one thing I truly love is to be creative weather is painting or drawing or making crafts and jewelry. Other than my daughter that is one thing that makes me truly happy. I like to read about things in the world I didn’t go to college but too several college courses. I am very close to my family and that will never change even if my address does. I am not a barbie doll and don’t pretend to be I am a big beautiful woman and a hopeful romantic. Now I do understand that chemistry is a lot and you have to really be attracted with a woman besides finding her stimulating in your life. Just remember that not all good things come in a size 4. So take me as I am and enjoy the curves all of them hey we could end up having a great time with each other and the rest will fall into place. Ok the man I am looking for is kind, funny, and family man caring he is closer to my age between the ages of 35 and 52. I do have a young child so a man. So even if his kids are fully-grown must be ok with mine being young.He doesn’t have to be a Rockefeller but he has to know what he wants out of life. He can be hard worker but is able to find time for the woman he wants to be with. Being a kid at heart works great and a willingness to just be able to hang and cuddle is even better I like him to not be afraid to show that he is proud of the woman that he is with. Just a note please if your intested in someone who is kind at heart and will be a true friend and lover and if your interested in a big beautiful woman. Then contact me if your not then I wish you the best of luck . I don't want a one night stand so please know I want something meaningful and a friend and lover for a long term. Oh I am a mom first and formost so please know that my time is spent with my daughter. Just something simple nice dinner and a place to talk and get to know each other and who knows maybe a movie. I am easy going just want to get to know the person that I am going out on a date with. *****PLEASE NOTE****** I am worth knowing and not just as a online friend. I am a hopeful romantic,kind,loving person I want to have a friend and lover and more in my life. But I am not going to be a one night stand I am worth alot more. I am proud of the woman I am and Proud to improve myself always. I want someone to see that and not just want to get "off" by asking for nude or sexy pictures. Be excited yes,be turned on, and yes want me I prmoise it will be worth it. I want to be respected desired and I will give the same. Now if your from a Overseas forget contacting me I will not bother. thanks for reading thanks for understanding and good luck >>>>>YOU WILL GET A RESPONSE IF YOU HAVE A PICTURE PLEASE HAVE A PICTURE THANK YOU if your looking for friends with benefits look on I want someone who is a man and a relationship not a teenager or someone reliving his lost youth
