I am a 44 year old woman living in Southern IL. Not looking to relocate.Although, I may be moving back to Colorado this coming Spring. I have been divorced for 16 years and have two kids, 20 and 16 years of age. I absolutely love living in the country and do not see myself living any other way. Right now I am a student in college, going for Nursing. And I a licensed Hairstylist as well. My goal after college is to buy some property to have a small hobby farm with a mix of rare breed animals. I have a load of interests, a good mix of outdoor and indoor based. Really love being around water, but not on it. I tend to be a quiet person, but I have my zany days where I am a chatterbox. I feel I am a understanding, affectionate, respectful person. Truly a faithful person. Mix of tomboy/girly girl. Seeking a long-term relationship or should I say a life-time relationship. Marriage-minded. Not looking for a one-night stand or "hook-ups". And I am not into bars. Not interested in what you drive or how much money you make. Just how you treat others and me. I hope you are a romantic, because I am and I feel men need romance just like women do. I need a man, not a boy, someone with manners and morals. Not into bad boys. If you have a problem with other races, don't contact me. People who swear in every sentence, grouches, control freaks, pervs, cheats need not even contact me. Please have a photo, its only fair. Good luck everyone!

I am open to suggestions. I enjoy many things. But, usually a place or quiet activity where we can talk and see if we click seems best.
