UPDATE: Ok, I need to explain. The headline is a joke and lyrics from an old country song that nobody has ever heard of. I don't have delusions of grandure. I know there are lots and lots of women throwing it all out there on here that are prettier than I am. But I have more to offer and I am hoping someone is willing to take the time to find that out. I have been online dating for awhile now and have had very little luck. I work from home (for now) and have a child so I don't get out much. The pics are all from the last year, most recently being 12-11-09 body pic. Bugs me that I have to throw that one up to get your attention, but that's life.

I am tired of being single. I want someone to share life with. It seems even more lonely now that it's cold and I am going into hibernation mode. I need someone to keep me warm!!!

Same old stuff still applies: I am artistic and spiritual by nature...well traveled, educated and versed. I really enjoy my time as a single woman but do miss the company and touch of a man. A man that feels right, smells right and makes me weak in the knees. This is essential. Chemistry is King!!!

I would love to find a man that is a little more grounded, brings something of his own to the table, and can meet me half way. (have your shizit together, I already have a son). If you are still fighting with your exes frequently, I'm not your gal. I live a fairly peaceful life and run at the first sign of drama. Been there, over it. I'm am not wiping the a** of any more men!!!

Sense of humor, is of course essential...not the yuk yuk kind, but the walked a mile and found my way kind. I laugh at myself most of the time. (there's plenty of material there) Laughter is essential as it soothes my soul.

My ideal mate would be intelligent, strong, silly and gentle at all the right times and have his "poop in a group". He would value the things that matter the most in life, and know how to create special moments by appreciating simple joys.

I take good care of myself and expect the same in my mate. I must be attracted to you on all levels. I would consider myself "fit". I hate to classify myself as an "average" female in hoosierland, because that means your carrying 30 extra plus pounds and I'm not. While I obviously look at the whole package when choosing a mate, though it sounds shallow, I find I am attracted to men that are athletic and taller. No pecs and guns, i am probably not interested, sorry. I use to do a lot of weightlifting and am freakishly strong, so if you show up on the first date and I think I can bench press you while chewing gum, please PLEASE move on. I LOVE to go on motorcycle rides, so if you have a bike and need a backwarmer, that is a definite bonus! It is not a prerequisite though.

I have a 10 year old son who loves everyone and keeps me hoppin. Although I would not introduce him to anyone quickly, embracing him is a requirement if you want to pursue anything of substance with me. He is my number one. I am all he really has. You need to be sure that's something you can live with because that is a non-negotiable. I will not aplogize for him nor entertain a relationship where his needs are left suffering. Don't punk my kid, and we'll get along just fine.

I'm a good girl, I haven't been around the block but enjoy friends from low places to the top of the food chain. I am honest to a fault and expect the same.

I am looking for someone who wants to enjoy life to the fullest and walk beside me in this trip around the sun...

I hope to hear from you,

"D"

It doesn't really matter what we do. On a first date I'm always nervous. I like to talk, laugh and have eye contact to see if there is a connection. I believe you know in about 30 seconds if there is chemistry....
