I love to go out and meet new people....I have a great family and the greatest friends..and I don't know what I would do without them.....I am pretty simple and don't really ask for much especially, in relationships.Honesty and Respect.Someone who will not take advantage of my
strengths or weaknesses..but who will give just as much as I would..and most importantly genuinely appreciate me for the person I am..seems pretty simple...As far as meeting people whatever is meant to be is meant to be...

I would consider myself fairly independent..I work hard and am extremely motivated..I am a Social Worker and currently work with children and adolescents in a residential treatment facility..I absolutely love what I do...I will be honest I am looking for someone with those similar qualities...Goal and family oriented are extremely important to me...I cannot deal with someone who does not work or is continually "in-between jobs"..lol...I also cannot deal with that whole "bad boy or ghetto" wanna be attitude or mentality...I am over that and honestly too old for that...Sooo please not to be disrespectful but don't contact me if that's who or what you are trying to be...And another thing....I am sooo not interested in playing games..some people think because of their looks and what they do for a living warrants them to treat people disrespectfully....I have NO time or energy for ridiculous nonsense...So again if that is your intention..Don't even bother contacting me...

~Preferences: I don't mean for this to come off in a disrespectful or rude way, but I prefer someone who has never been married....Although, someday I would like to have children and a family of my own..I prefer to date someone who DOES not have any children either...I am not looking for a ready made family...

~Additionally, a few things that I have found amusing and interesting about this website...let's call it helpful hints..
1. You don't know me or my background...Please don't initiate the FIRST conversation you ever have with me by, "Hey Sexy" or "Hey Babe"...give me a break...and get some CLASS...
2. If we begin communicating and establish an initial connection and you lose interest...that's ok too, it happens...But be man enough to let me know...the problem in today's society is that people don't understand the concept of honesty (or common courtesy) and believe that by just blowing someone off, not returning messages, or breaking up with someone through a text is appropriate....basically all it's showing is a true reflection of your character........
3. If you message me and I don't respond (as people have done to me)...it's probably because I don't feel we would have a connection..Nothing personal, just don't feel you would be right for me....Please don't continually write and ask "So are you interested" or "Do you think I am cute"...ummm this is not fifth grade, if I was interested I would have responded...Continuous questions like that to me reflects insecurity and is definitely not attractive...if I didn't respond initially I definitely am not now...All of these things I wrote doesn't make me pretentious or shallow..I just have a strong personality and know what I am looking for, besides the fact I am being brutally honest...got to give me credit for that..lol..
I am assuming after all of this I will probably never receive a message again on this website..lol...and if that's the case then this was not the place for me to meet anyone worth while..but I also believe all the things I have written are definitely not too much too ask for either..

Something casual..Possibly meeting for drinks.....
