"Every night I'm lyin' in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
And comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin'
To give me the best of your love..."

My hair is no longer...how do I say, different? Pastel? And, shorter but trying to grow it back long again. Time to remove myself from this site...Saying goodbye to my friends here...thank you for the friendships.

Caring, passionate, loving, petite, Hapa (1/2 Japanese, 1/2 German/American exotic mix) creative ARTIST, wanting a decent, kind, loving, passionate good man. I THINK “OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.” I am an EXTREMELY CREATIVE individual (those who have seen my work over the years can vouch for that).

Age doesn't matter as I look/act early thirties, but I really would enjoy the company of someone closer to my age, or just someone mature knowledgeable in life itself, not just "book smarts." I prefer a DAD, like a man with some “EDGE,” who can work with his hands (construction, etc.), as well as his mind.

Only write me with something of "SUBSTANCE.” Nice guys ONLY please--looks don't complete the package. NO PHOTO (no response) -- SINGLE/SERIOUS ONLY

***Give me a REASON to take this site down...PUHHHHLEASE!!!***

Is it so wrong of me to be hopeful, to be like Drew Barrymore in "Never Been Kissed?" I too want to feel that feeling, the kiss that I have never felt…that special feeling with one. I'm not an idiot...this won't happen overnight and, the path can be a long traveled one. I can though, still be hopeful that when the timing is right, the feeling I long for will present itself with a special man who will come into my life. Ok, I am a hopeful dreamer, so what; let me keep dreaming...it keeps me going. I won't force this on anyone...it is some "thing" that will come to me. Does this late night jibberish from a hopeful romantic make any sense? Best time to express my feelings is at a time like this...2am, no kids week, lonely, pup on my bed; this is the time when my heart hides nothing. This is "the me" I want u to fall for; not just “the me” in my photos. Wearing my heart on my sleeve...Kat

I have been fortunate in making friends here over time...mainly platonic "friends" as my everyday life keeps me pretty busy. Take me to a comedy club or something else that is fun...I want to have fun in the company of a good (new?) friend where we can make each other laugh & smile. I am busy, but bored as well. I am real, not shallow, not high maintenance, nor am I clingy/needy as my schedule is too full. I know I’m a good, caring person. I have always been a giver--it took a long time b4 I realized it is ok to be on the receiving end as well. I will listen to you when you talk to me & you will feel my sincerity. Mutual respect is a must. I have challenges as do most, so please no lines such as "no drama/baggage” as most everyone has baggage, especially if divorced...I just don't burden others with issues I handle myself. An occasional shoulder to cry on is within reason as long as it doesn't become a fulltime burden. We should be there for each other, regardless of good or “bad” times.

Should I give up on my fairy tale or is it possible to meet my prince charming? I'm tired of being single, I'm also tired of...how do I put this politely...tired of men's dating games and insecurities??? I just want a great guy, just one, is that asking for too much? If you drink/club/party we are probably not a good match as I lead a different lifestyle. I'm not judging those who do, just stating that I do other things with my time--more family oriented or outdoorsy...intimate fun as well such as walks, beach, drives, movies, DVDs, theatre, etc.

"I want a boyfriend!" ONE LOVE 4ever, eventually, if "HE" (you?) turn(s) out to be "THE ONE MAN" in my life, one whom I will share my ALL with, I will look no further. When I know we are fully committed to each other, I will FLIRT; only with you, my forever love, my best friend and partner for life. But, I need to be realistic in knowing that this may take time and I may only make “FRIENDS” along the way until we both know that "we are the ones" for each other. The part I don't care for very much is the dating/singles scene. I thought I found someone on the internet ages ago but TRUST became an issue (not on my end…hint). Why do some lie and why to they become greedy biting off more than they can chew with regrets later? (Notice I didn’t say why do “men” lie…) 3 strikes you’re out (actually 1 strike as I no longer have the patience). Should I still give him a chance?

******...EAGLES.

Doesn't matter, as long as we can talk comfortably and get to know each other, even if we just end up being friends. I've learned through my hardships over the past years, how important friends are. I was too busy for them before. I now welcome them into my heart, my life, my being. Second date or after talking--I want go see a show, listen to live music/blues or other, or go to a comedy club.

I'm a bit old fashioned--want a gentleman who will be a "man"...I have my own money, house, car & businesses, so its not about money, I just like for a man to be polite & ask/take me out. I will never write a man 1st. I like to be chased n spoiled, but I'm a giver too.
