I enjoy 'the spoken word', have a love/appreciation for good body art (nice, well thought-out tattoos and tasteful piercings). I LOVE the water...spend a lot of time swimming in my backyard and at the gym, and occasionally drive to the coast to enjoy the view and atmosphere, but hell no, I'm not swimming in water where I can't see the bottom.
BBQ's, Jazz Festivals, maybe we stay in and catch an NBA game while we playfully argue over who can win at a game of bones...

I'm a fun person to kick it with, I'm not high-maintenence, take care of business, make sure the bills are paid and tell it JUST like it is. People who know me would say that I've got a huge heart but have a low tolerance level for b.s., probably because I have been self-sufficient for so long. I'm honest, almost to a fault, and believe that communication is 'key' in any type of 'relationship', even friendship.

I can't stand drama, flakes or people who come on too strong/mushy or persistant. I like a man with a good sense of humor, responsible, HONEST, reliable and hard-working. If he says he is going to do something, he means it and he follows through. If something else comes up, simply say that, don't make up some corny LIE to get out of something, MAN UP. Too many men think it's ok to leave a woman hanging until he's ready to come back around and get mad when she asks what happened. My time is JUST as important as yours...I respect yours and only ask that you respect mine as well.

I'm a single, career-oriented mom. My two sons are 11 and 14, bi-racial, so if that's an issue for you, please hit the 'back' arrow!!! I honestly have a preference to African-American men, but also do find other men attractive, depending on how we 'vibe'...

I am NOT on here looking for SEX, so if that's why you're online, BOUNCE.

Happy hunting!

A first date would depend on the weather/time of day or night and what we both decide we're comfortable with. A quick meet somewhere casual/public to start with is always cool and then we can take it from there.

I believe everything happens for a reason..and even if there's no connection, there was a reason our paths were supposed to cross.
Enjoy your journey on POF and I hope you find what you're looking for.

Peace~
