About me: I'm funny, witty, articulate, intelligent, caring, nurturing, sometimes offbeat and neurotic (but then again aren't we all at some point??) but always fun to be around. I'm a redhead with bright blue eyes that will steal your heart in a minute. I'm a BBW and proud of it (real women have curves...lol)and want a man that will love me the way I am. I love NASCAR, football, hockey, music, movies, reading, cooking, spending time with friends...just living life to the fullest. I like quiet nights at home cuddled up watching a movie or talking by a nice fire. I love to take long drives with no destination in mind...just an adventure that we make up as we go. I want to go dancing and let loose and have fun. I like doing things outdoors like walks in the park or hiking. I have a shy side that goes away with good conversation and laughter. I have a 17 yr old son but I'm not looking for a father for him...just a good male role model and I don't mind if you have kids. I'm not into games or drama, just want a good solid dating relationship. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm looking for: I want to meet someone that I can start out with as friends and go from there. I want to find a simple honest down to earth man that give me butterflies when I look at him. I don't care what you make, what you have or what your lot in life is...I just want you for the man you are and your heart that is full of love. I believe in a relationship of 50/50, trust, honesty, talk, laughter and compromise. I want to be there for you as will be for me. I want to be the one you turn to when you need a shoulder to lean on. I will support you 100% in whatever it is you are striving to accomplish. I want someone I can love with my whole heart and know I have the same in return. I want a man that says what he means and means what he says. A man willing to open up and let me be a part of his life as I want you to be a part of mine. I know this seems like a lot but really it's just the simple things in life that I hope to find. If you want to know more you can find me as purpleraven5000 at the big y site....feel free to drop in and say hello. Pay attention to my physical description please and if its not something you can deal with or like then don't bother writing or IMing me...I don't have time for guys that have to have Barbie's on their arm or think that I'm less of a person because I'm a BBW
