I love my friends and my family more than anything in the world. They are absolutely everything to me, and I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for them. I've gone through a lot of stuff in the past couple of years, but I've become a better person because of it. I used to think I could do it all alone, but I've realized that without God in my life I could do absolutely nothing.I can be loyal to a fault, and sometimes I give people too many chances. I love making other people smile and doing nice things for people. When it really comes down to it though, I don't care what people think or say about me, and it's one of the most liberating feelings in the world. Mess with me all you want, but if you mess with my friends or family it's over for you. I'm fiercely protective of the people I care about, and I can get pretty fiesty! I'm getting to the point where I am done with the dating around thing, and I want to find someone to start a life with.

I'm going to differ a little from what the suggested topic is (describe what you would do for a first date) and touch on another topic for a second.

This certainly doesn't apply to everyone that has emailed me, so please don't think it does. But men, really.. please don't send me messages that just say "your hott" or "sexxy" .. It honestly doesn't make me want to email you back quicker, if at all. Don't ask me if I want you to be my "sugar-daddy". The answer to that is no, and will always be no, and chances are I will not email you back at all. Also guys, please understand that I am a very busy person, as I assume that most of you are as well. Don't be offended and send me an angry email if you think that I didn't answer you quick enough. I'm looking for genuine people to have friendships with. If more comes from that, then that's amazing. If not, then I got to meet some great new people. But it's offensive to me when you send a message that is of a sexual nature or anything similar to that. I'd prefer to only talk to people who really have something to say to me. A simple hello to get the conversation started is sometimes all it takes, but please don't put on a macho "tough guy" attitude to talk to me. I don't find it appealing. I wish you all the best of luck in whatever you are looking for. God Bless!
