About Me

I'm on here because I just got out of a long relationship. I'm not yet entirely sold on the idea of online dating, but I'm not heavily into the bar scene, and most everyone I know is married. I am ready to meet someone more suitable for me. I work downtown and have very long days, with the commute and everything, but my weekends are mostly free. I also teach a painting class a few times a month. I also enjoy concerts, going to the movies, playing the piano, traveling to warm places (I love Vegas!), and finding interesting restaurants.My ideal match:-You're athletic (but I don't want to see pics of you flexing in the mirror at the gym. Nobody does)-You're tall / tallish / taller than me (I'm 5'9")-You're protective-You're brave (You stick up for me, but you don't start bar fights)-You're intelligent, well-read, you use proper grammar and punctuation-You're open-minded (especially when I bring out my ouija board. Ha.)-You're not clingy (but you're not a "player" either. I don't like serial daters)-You're nice to the wait staff at restaurants-You're nice to your parents (but you're not a "Momma's Boy")-You're a good father (if you have kids)-You're not obsessed with your phone (please don't constantly text in front of me)-You're a social drinker (NOT an alcoholic)-You have no other bad addictions, like drugs or gambling (although - see above - I do like Vegas)-You're strong-You're completely masculine (no feminine traits please. I don't want someone that follows me to the nail salon) -You're understanding, compassionate and kind (you would give money to a legitimate homeless person)--You're confident (not arrogant. Your friends aren't arrogant either)-You agree that there must be physical attraction, but that only gets you so far (it really is "what's inside" that counts in the long run)--You like animals (I have one cat, and you better be nice to him. I will be observing your interactions with him, and taking notes)-You're not in love with someone else (like your ex, or perhaps a co-worker or neighbor or other female (or male) acquaintance) -You're employed (You have a grown-up job, and you don't live with your parents)-You're optimistic (I need it, especially when I tend to go the opposite way)-You're passionate (not perverted)-You have my back at all times (because I will ALWAYS have yours)You'll get Extra Credit for the following:-You're like 50 years old-You love white Christmas trees-You live in the Chicagoland area-You're mechanical (I'm terrified of being stranded on the side of the road. My dad won't be around forever)-You're a good cook (because I'm terrible at it)-You're a movie and / or music buff (I love the 80's and 90's)-You're not overly religious-You let me read your palm-You're organized (I love those people with neat closets and drawers)-You don't have a crazy ex, or any kind of stalkers (you'd be surprised at the things I've experienced. I'm lucky to be alive)-You eat relatively healthy-You're creative-You're entertaining-You would run any miscellaneous errands with me, late at night, because I don't want to go out by myself in the dark-You'd sit still and let me sketch your portrait-You're interesting-You're sexy-You're rareSerious inquiries only

    Hi, this is my first time trying a dating site. Recently divorced, looking to go out and have some fun times with a nice partner. After many years of living with a type A personality, I am looking for someone who is calm and doesn't take life too seriously. I enjoy most athletic pursuits and practice yoga and martial arts. Looking forward to hearing from you. Just a nice drink or cup of coffee nothing too long and drawn out.

    Looking for: man. In age: 38-48

    I am a single mother of three. My oldest son is 21. I put him through welding school and he has a good job making good money. I have another son that is 18 and a senior in High School this year. I also have an 11 year old daughter in Middle School. I have worked hard to raise them to be well respectable people. They are good kids that have never been in any trouble. I am equally proud of all three of them. People always tell me that I have done a great job raising them all by myself and that makes me feel great! Life has not always been easy for me but I do know that my children are my best accomplishment.Besides being a mother, I am currently working as a Nurse Assistant at a local hospital. I enjoy working and helping people so therefore I have been seriously thinking of going to Nursing School. I have always loved being outdoors so moving to the mountains seemed like the thing to do. We really like it here. I like spending time with someone that I can talk to and share thoughts with and dream with. I would like to meet someone that I can become great friends with and then the relationship turn into more. First and foremost, this person that I want in my life has to like my kids (and the feeling be mutual). The other qualities I am looking for is a completely honest trustworthy hard working man that shows love from deep within his heart. If he can show me that, I will always be good to him in return.I want to have fun getting to know you! I think the first date should be simple. Come to my house, let me cook a good dinner. I have been told I am a wonderful cook...so you can see for yourself. Who doesn't like good food? I would want you to meet my kids. You need to like spending time with them and they need to like you too. After dinner, we could either make a bon fire out in the back yard while having a cup of coffee or sit on the front porch with a glass of beer/wine and enjoy the beautiful country setting while having good conversation and getting to know each other.The 2nd date would be just you and I......
