I am recently divorced and slowly re-entering the dating scene. It's a bit trickier than I remembered it! I am a bartender. I fancy myself a writer but, let's face it, a gals gotta eat! I have two English Bulldogs that rule with an iron paw! I value humor over almost all else and have a fairly wicked sense myself. I've tried standup before and intend to do so again. I like to write, paint, sing karaoke (but only if everyone listening is plastered.) I am kind to everyone and really can't tolerate hateful or overly morose people. I'm cheerful and would prefer to be around other cheerful folks! I am an avid reader and digest information well. I'm intelligent, witty, friendly and I seem to put people at ease. I'm trying to break out of my social scene "rut" to meet new people and it's been pretty fun so far. I want to finish a book I started and stalled on. I want to get more editing experience. I want to take up boxing and I want to know where I put my damned keys! I am extremely lucky to have a great number of friends. If we meet, they are likely to give me the third degree about you so, just be prepared to answer a few questions! One of my friends was freaked that I'd try the online dating thing. We were sitting at a bar and she was getting pretty blustery saying " but they could be a serial killer!" I pointed to a dude a few seats down and said "so could he. What difference does it make where I met them?" I'm fairly certain the guy wasn't a serial killer. At least not at this point in his life. I would very much appreciate if you weren't either! ;) Not to sound like a barfly but my first encounter with you will likely be in that setting. It's a comfort issue. There are people around but they will generally leave you alone and it's less intimate, which for a first meeting takes the pressure off! Now if we like each other and want to go on a real date, I enjoy long dinners with good wine, easy conversation and laughing. As for destinations, I'm pretty much game for anything. I like the zoo, for example! That being said, I don't handle excessive heat too well, so the next few months of summer agony should probably be spent in a pool or central air condition.

I am a single mother with 3 children. My daughter is 18 and my sons are 13 and 9 yrs old. They keep me very busy with all of their interests in sports and extracurricular activities. My children are my biggest priority in life, which yes should go without saying but I've met guys who have had a problem understanding when I have to miss out on a night out & I've learned that not everyone makes their children a priority. I won't settle for anyone who prefers to sit in the bar *** spending time with family. Been there, done that. I am also a registered nurse who cares for people with special needs. That has been my career for 13 years now. I am very passionate about my children and my career. Since I am such a busy person it's hard for me to get out and meet new people. I'm looking for someone who is family oriented. When I'm not working or hanging out with my kids I love to go see concerts and local live bands. My absolute favorite music is the 80's and 90's era. I can't get enough of those old bands! I also really enjoy going to see the local bands. There's nothing I love more than hanging out with friends and listening to live music or grilling out and having a bon fire during my down time. All of this makes me sound like a very social person but once in awhile I also like to just stay in, make dinner & watch movies. I really don't care for the bar scene much anymore on a regular basis. If you haven't grown out of the party phase yet or are going through a midlife crisis then you are not for me. I'm always open to trying new things and checking out new places. All of this is much more fun when you have someone to share it with. If nothing else I've made a few great friends on this site. I'm not in any hurry to rush into meeting. I like to get a feel for how we connect through conversation first. Whether that be through messages or talking on the phone. Don't invite me over to your boat or house the first day you send me a message! (That creeps me out lol) The first date is always so awkward! It's best to just meet for coffee or dinner first but it depends on our mutual interests. In my experience it takes a couple dates to know for sure if you are connecting with someone.

So, talking about my self is not one of my favorite things. I am a shy person until I get to know someone. If there is anything you would like to know, just ask, I'll do my best to answer
