In my life, my friends mean the most to me right next to my top priority, my child. I have a wonderful network of fantastic friends. They are dynamic people with amazing stories and getting to know and love them has been the greatest joy. Since motherhood is my top priority, free time is a luxury. So, I need to be particular with whom I spend my time with and what I do with them.

I am very interested in staying in shape. Health is very important to me. I want someone who feels the same way. Who believes in a healthy lifestyle and is willing to maintain it. I have a new found love to cook. I love to cook healthy, tasty recipes. I would just admire someone cooking with me side by side or just hanging out with me in the kitchen while I create! Man I love that. I also like to be handy around the house. Since I am now on my own, I am taking pride on doing household repairs. It would be great to have someone with me to help me further my knowledge on building my independence!

Just to let you know a little more about me. I am a woman with a great sense of humor who loves to make people feel special - I believe there is good in everyone. I respect others and appreciate the same courtesy in return. I am honest... to a fault and I will always let you know where I stand. I am a passionate woman who loves intensely. I love cuddling, hugging, and being affectionate. I love to get away now and again... even if it is a day trip. I enjoy the outdoors and staying active. I love going for walks, hiking through rough terrain, taking a bike ride on the katy trail, strolling through a quaint town in the middle of nowhere, sitting on a blanket having a picnic, taking a small bus with close friends and heading off on a day trip to the wineries, singing songs around a roaring fire, camping in a tent, and holding hands walking at night with the moon as our guiding light. Before, when free time was at my whim, I loved going to the theater or going to see a good thriller. I have enjoyed going to wineries and taking walks in deep, dark forests. I love exploration, if it's out there to conquer... I am for doing just that.

I am looking for certain qualities in a man that I feel are my must haves: A great sense of humor, mature, humble... just not full of yourself but that you have room for others in your world, an interesting conversationalist, is a considerate sleeper, doesn't have cats with dander... I'm terribly allergic, knows how to please a woman, great social skills, intelligent, loves a woman with curves, is honest and appreciates honesty, is loyal and monogamous and is respectful to his partner and others.

I need to feel like I could just melt in your arms when I look in your eyes. So, chemistry is important. I think that in order to get that... there has to be a couple of dates.

So, on the first date, it is important to see if there is a connection. A nice lunch, to glance at one another over the table and see if we could do this with one another again. The second... oh, the second would have to be romantic. Somewhere where we are alone, and we can really get to know one another... a nice dinner and a quiet, scenic walk just learning more about one another. If there is a third date, then I think we are on to something!
