I have decided this is my year. My year to find someone wonderful to spend time with. Im a very loyal friend and a hopeless romantic so my man would have to like affection. My emotions are in check and run at a regular temperature - not hot and cold as I find so many people do. (that drives me nuts). Im at the stage I want to start travelling a bit, explore new places and make new friends. Im a person who has had children but now they have moved to South Australia so Im starting to have more time for me and my interests. I enjoy travel, camping, movies, tennis, dining out and reading and doing courses.Im not a serious person (unless I have to be) and have a wicked sense of humour. I wouldnt say Im shy, however, a bit quiet in groups and prefer one on one. Writing about ourselves on profiles never come across the way we want them too (no matter how clever we try to be). I do take people for who they are, its not about looks but the beauty of the person inside). Even if there is no chemistry, we wont know until we try. So by all means, please feel free to drop me a line even just to say hi. My soul mate would have to be someone who is communicative, and genuine in all areas of their lives. Someone who will make me laugh but be there to support me in hard times too as Ill be there for you with shoulder to cry on and lots of tissues. Im looking for a long term relationship which all takes time - all good things come to those who wait! (Just wondering how long Ill have to wait though).......... maybe you could change that for me.I think after a few *** messages on msn or even a few phone calls, if I feel comfortable enough with the person, a coffee would be nice. Meet up and see how we both felt. Maybe if it was early in the day, and the chemistry was there, we could continue with a movie then perhaps dinner for two..

Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong time. I'm not at all into the whole modern dating scene and the whole casual 'hookup' thing is just beyond me. I love kids and animals. I'm not a terribly social person as I'm not really comfortable in a crowd, but my circle of friends is extremely important to me as is my family. I like travel and outdoor activities on occasion but also tend to be a homebody. I volunteer with community projects, and am especially interested in those involving children. I've never been married and don't have children, except my two cats and dog, but I don't mind if you do. I love children. I'm a former middle school teacher, but I recently had to leave teaching due to health issues and have now turned to freelance writing. I have a Master's degree and can hold an intellectual conversation any day of the week. However, I'm also a country girl at heart. I love animals and kids and can hold my own anywhere from a dirt track raceway to a neighbor's fishpond.Though I'm thoroughly modern and fairly liberal with regard to most things. I'm hopelessly old fashioned in my ideas about relationships. I believe insubmitting to my partner as head of household, and giving him both the power and the responsibility to protect and guide, including enforcing that through the practice of domestic discipline.I have cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. It's the reality of my life, but it doesn't change the fact that I am an independent adult. I'm not embarrassed by it nor do I mind talking about it so if you want to know ask. There's no such thing as a stupid question.Go to a park or restaurant and just hang out and get to know each other.

I am an outgoing boisterous social person, with a quiet introverted streak. I moved to Idaho a little over a year ago, and since I just bought a house, it looks like I'll be hanging around here for a while. Owning a home has been an experience so far. First morning I woke up to backed up sewer main. YAY! With my brother-in-law's help (or more accurately me assisting him) it got fixed. No breakdown crying over it here. All I could do was laugh and say to myself "welcome to home ownership". I've done some minor construction, lots of painting, and have so much more to do. My yard is a disaster... I have just under a half acre, and haven't tamed the jungle yet. If you by any chance look really good sweating doing yardwork, I wouldn't complain in the least. Just saying. I work for a company in CA, so I work from home. The dress code and the commute are great, but the potlucks rather suck now. I've had to forbid the cat from contributing anymore. And the dog is skating on thin ice. I'm a big reader... I usually read more in one year than most will read in their lives. I'll read anything that catches my fancy... however, I am mostly drawn to fiction because I love stories. Historical fiction in particular is fun. But, I don't limit myself, I've read almost every Louis L'amour book out there and over half the Danielle Steele (my parent's collections... pretty easy to see each person's taste). My humor ranges from goofy ridiculous, to warped and disturbed, and on over to cheesy and lame. I am pretty easy to entertain. Keeping a conversation going comprised of all bad puns is hilariously awesome. I love getting dressed up, love wearing dresses, heels, the whole 9 yards, but am also comfortable throwing my hair into a pony-tail, pulling on junk clothes and helping haul bricks or string up barbed wire. I have several tattoos, and have plans for quite a few more. Some women buy expensive purses, I decorate myself. I love nature and being in it. Listening to the ocean, or a stream/river is the best way to refresh the soul. I love learning about the world around me, and constantly am trying to learn anything I think is interesting, fun, or even just practical. I WILL be one of the ones surviving the zombie apocalypse. I have no kids of my own yet, but I love kids. I have worked with children in a variety of ways in the past, from daycare provider, to youth group leader, to teacher. I have some of my best times with kids. So, that being said, I am not at all nervous or reserved about dating a man with kids. If you'd like to discuss passive water heating systems, I am ready for that discussion! If debating the merits of peach fuzz are more your speed, I'm game for that convo too!Ultimately, I want someone who believes in real commitment. Who knows that life isn't all roses and sunshine, but believes in sticking around and sticking it out anyways.I want to find someone I can be affectionate with, give random kisses to just because I can, someone I want to leap into their arms out of sheer joy, or crumble into their arms when I am crushed. I want a partner, an equal, my best friend, my lover. Someone who is human, and may fail at times, but always tries their best. I don't want perfect... just right.A first date... as long as the two people show up in the same space, at the same time, and are able to interact and talk to begin to get to know each other, anything can be a good thing. Bowling... playing pool... lunch... dinner... coffee & a walk... I'm pretty open to what works in my world.
