**Relocating to MI very soon(Detroit area) - any and all insight would be greatly appreciated, as I'm not real familiar with the area. Thanks for checking out my profile, and if you have any words of wisdom, please send them my way.**

First and foremost, I am a very devoted mother of a beautiful teenage daughter!! She is now a freshman in college and about to start the next phase in her life. Therefore, I figured it was time to start focusing on the next phase of mine....

I enjoy sports of all kinds, watching & participating...and I am very competitive!! I am a huge football fan, love March Madness and I'm addicted to UFC/MMA/cage fighting!!! I love listening to music, going to a good concert, working out, reading a good book, writing poetry, going to the movies, spending time with friends, or just staying home chillin on the couch with a great bottle of wine! I am a little shy at first, but once I warm up to you, watch out! I am a very open and honest person and would like to find someone that values that as well. In addition, I am a very family oriented person, my mother and my daughter are two of my best friends. My hopes are to find someone that appreciates the closeness of a family. And, although my daughter is almost grown, I love children, so if you are a father, that does not detour me from wanting to get to know you ~ unless you are one of those that has very little involvement in your child's life!

I wouldn't say that I am high maintenance, but I do like to look good and take care of myself. In other words, I do get my nails done every two weeks, but I can still bait my own hook if I go fishing.

What I'm looking for, well...most importantly, I am looking for respect and honesty...and that respect must extend to my daughter if you are fortunate enough to meet her. In addition, I am looking for someone who likes to laugh and have a good time....someone who can laugh at me & themselves (I do have some very funny blonde moments, if I can take it in stride and laugh at myself, I expect you to do the same)lol. Someone who enjoys sports, going out to dinner & the movies or just cuddling on the couch enjoying each others company at home. Someone who can be my best friend as well as partner in life. And call me shallow, but physical attraction is very important to me.

***My profession does not say porn star or sex phone operator......so, if I give you my IM ID, let's have a somewhat intelligent conversation, learn things that aren't sexual in nature about each other***

Furthermore, I am not here for a "hookup" or "one night stand". If I wanted that, I sure wouldn't attempt to find that on the internet ~ scary thought!!

**Past experience has also made me realize I need to add another "Deanna disclaimer"-- if you are very newly divorced or just out of a relationship, I'm not the person for you. I have been there, done that. I am ready to find someone who is at a stable place in their life, and I don't mean financially, but mentally & emotionally available for me**
