Condensed:
In a perfect world, I wouldn't be "dating online"....but who's perfect???? Here I am!
I have only been in the GREAT state of Texas for a little over 4 years. I was born & raised in Colorado for a majority of my life. My family moved to Illinois where they currently reside.
I work as a Debt Analyst, I work a lot of hours but I have a great job!! With my crazy hours I try and maintain a social life. (A cold beer is always welcome, I prefer Budweiser!!!) I have a wonderful group of friends and am very blessed!!!
I LOVE music, my collection is very random but I'll give anything a chance. LOVE concerts and singing in the car,especially in traffic! I am also a huge sports fan, not a girl who watches games to be cool,I watch to represent! The Broncos are my favorite team- even in "Cowboy" country! I play tennis once a week, wish it was more! I like outdoor activities...sunshine is good for your soul! I am no good at pool but love to play darts, I'm always optimistic that I'll win! :) I love to read and paint but find it very hard to have time to enjoy either of those lately...Tattoos and Harleys have a special place in my heart, thanks to my dad!
A visit home is always fun! Although my family is in IL we are very close. I have twin nieces that are are 5, I miss them lots! My family lives in a rural area that is very small, I am glad I got to experience the small town life however I am a city girl! (Now I'm not a materialistic, superficial or shopaholic city girl... I am down to earth and very laid back!) I like to get dressed up but I'll get dirty as well..
Also drama makes me wanna puke, some girls thrive off of it, I run from it!!! Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.
I love to laugh and make people around me laugh. I think laughter is awesome! Sometimes this brain spits out hilarious nonsense! A great sense of humor is a MUST! I am quick witted and up for a challenge :)!!
I want to meet somone real, who can carry a conversation, spread laughter and have fun! Motivation is huge as well. I have a competitive side but I understand that I can't win EVERY time!!!
I know this site is set for dating, I have friends whom have had good encounters and I hope the same! If not...maybe meet some new friends! I have great qualities and will make someone very happy one day, right now I'm just seeing what's out there... Life has too much to offer to sit back and hope it comes to you, sometimes it takes initiative !

For a first date I think it really depends on the situation. I am up for what ever! Always good to try something new!
