Ok.... So what is up with all you gentlemen who matched with me? Mingle emails me and says "someone wants to meet you" and then you don't make contact. Are you waiting for me to make the first move? C'mon men- I want a daring guy who isn't afraid to take a chance!! You lose 100% of the opportunities you don't take,and have 50% odds in your favor! So....My funny bone works, how about yours? Aw, C'mon give it a try! I dare ya! That's the key to life- laughing through the trials and hanging with friends who make you laugh! I work hard- own/operate a small business. Lookn for someone who works & plays hard too! You must know that my Faith is a very important aspect of my life. You are worthy of love whether or not you love Jesus, but if you don't/ can't respect that about me- it won't matter how much we have in common, it just won't be a comfortable fit. I want someone who has enough in common, and is attractively opposite..you know what I mean!right? My kids are my world; to be honest,they come first, as they were here first. I am a spontaneous person by nature, but it takes some planning to be so, with kids to consider. I know what and whom I am looking for- just ask. Anything else you are curious about- please inquire. I am pretty upfront and open. Honesty is always the best policy- besides, I have too much on my mind to keep track of stories made up! I have a great sense of direction- from home! so, kinda looking for a navigator. Someone who would let me sit in the passenger seat now and then would be amazing!! I am content with my life as it is. A partner- the right partner, would be a nice accent. I haven't been divorced so long that I forget the work and committment and selflessness it takes to make a relationship work. I now realise how rewarding it is to invest all that and so much more, alongside someone who is an equal participant. It's hard to find a gentle guy whos as much a giver as a taker, but my patient knight is out there somewhere! And I must feel like I can just be me when we are together :) For the 1st time in my life I feel I know exactly what I am looking for. I would rather be on my own than in a relationship with a man who thinks I am anything other than "The Bomb;his Bomb!". I am looking for a man who can commit, and... I can give him the time to figure out if we are complimentary to each others' needs n wants, as I require that as well. No pressure or hidden agendas- just real you, real me, real time, real life. He has no addiction issues and good communication skills. He works hard and is inclined to play the same way. He doesnt take himself too seriously, but seriously values the people in his life who are his biggest fans. He believes in himself, as much as I do, and goes for it when he has a dream! or is energised by some sweet encouragement ;) He has a hobby and good buds. He is socially adept as well as comfortable with a quiet wknd at home. He isnt perfect, but can say sorry when he messed up because he trusts that I know his heart and motive. He feels good about lifting people up, encouraging them and seeing the positive, rather than focusing on the negative. He enjoys kids and probably doesnt smoke or have a cat. He takes more calculated risks than I do. He loves his mama and treats her kindly. Does that sound anything like you? Lol! I'd love to hear about your 'realistic' woman, and the traits you hope she has.
