I've been conflicted with a few choices I've had to make on this site..first my profile was in Dating, and it seemed like most of the people I talked to were juggling several women at once, and I am by no means a "serial dater". Call me old fashioned, but I like to date one man at a time! So I put my profile in Long Term, and that seems to give some the impression I'm standing at the altar waiting tapping my foot, LOL. Ultimately I'm looking for someone like myself, who is serious about having a relationship with someone mature, who has substance and is ready for something real....a best friend, a lover, a partner through it all.

I will say that if you are in a relationship, or are unsure about the status of your relationship, please move on. I give as good as I get in the relationship department. If I am not a priority for you, you will not be one for me either.

I'm a relationship kind of girl, and will put all that I have into it. The most important things to me are honesty, loyalty, trust, respect, and overall kindness. I take great joy in sharing life's little victories and defeats with someone. I love to laugh and play, and can be very sarcastic. So if you can't take it, don't dish it out!

Words that describe me (and hopefully you as well) are: outgoing, confident, loyal, sincere, loving, honest, funny, smart, sexy, passionate, adventurous, romantic, understanding, faithful, sensual, open minded, affectionate, humble, patient, and trustworthy.

*Don't let the "conservative" looking pictures of me cause you to assume I'm uptight, I just have respect for myself. Even if I had pictures of me drunk or scantily clad showing a cleavage shot (which I don't) I wouldn't think that posting them here would get the attention of the kind of man I'm looking for. So, if those are the kinds of pictures that catch your eye, you're not ready for a woman like me.*

I like trying new things, and am looking for someone with an adventurous side! I also love surprises and hopping in the car for a road trip not knowing where we'll end up! I love the outdoors whether it be hiking, cottaging or camping...yes, I will sleep on the ground in a tent and NOT complain about it! I'm interested in trying rock climbing and would love a partner just as willing or who can teach me a thing or two.

Family is VERY important to me, and I hope that you feel the same. They are the only ones that will love you unconditionally no matter what.

I am typically attracted to caucasian and/or european men who are taller than me (5'9 +) and of athletic or average build.

There is so much more to me, and if you would like to know more, please let me know.

P.S. I am not interested in being on as many peoples favorites lists as possible. My goal is to be ONE man's favorite. So if you add me and do not attempt to contact me, you will most likely be removed, so drop me a note with a pic and say hi.

* If we've corresponded and I've read a message and don't get back to you right away, please don't take offence, it's most likely because I'm busy. If I've read your message and did not reply it's likely because I don't feel we are a match, but I appreciate your effort all the same and wish you the best of luck.

Non smokers only please, unless you're gonna quit for me! lol

An ideal first date could be anything from meeting for a cup of coffee, going for a walk/hike or playing a game of pool or mini putt. Anything where we can interact and get to know each other to see if we click and have that elusive chemistry we're all looking for.

I am over the whole club scene, and would much prefer to sit in a cafe or pub where you can actually hear and hold a conversation. I'm just as happy going out for dinner and a night out as I am making dinner at home and cuddling up on the couch. I'm sure we can make our own fun no matter what we're doing together!
