* thanks for stopping to read my profile*

I consider myself to be the gentlemen type, I am open, honest, friendly.
I am a second deacon Sagittarius w/ cancer rising if your into astrological signs...I am a lil' shy at first but once comfortable I am silly and fun. I am outgoing, adventurous, and enjoy almost every thing life offers. ( everything but jumping from heights I will stand back watching and allow you that thrill all by your self...I don't enjoy heights )

I am 39 yrs old and a single mother of 2 kids... I am very dedicated and family oriented and adore my children. Home is where I am usually my happiest. Be it watching DVDs on the home theater, grilling up BBQ in my back yard, or just throwing the ball for my two dogs ( Samoyed's ) Home is my foundation.

I live in Ogden Dunes, Indiana I have a beach home, the beach is outside my front door and a walk across the street. I am a outdoors person, enjoying gardening ( yes, butch woman like flowers we also like getting our hands dirty too ) bike riding, bowling, fishing, swimming, camping, sports, walking thur my neighborhood with my dogs and the trails...going to the beach, ( I live on Lake Michigan ) amusement parks, theater, board, card, Internet games, puzzles, reading, and enjoying what ever else life may offer me.

I would consider myself to be romantic & cuddly.. I enjoy summer nights being cuddly on the beach next to a bon fire or winter nights laying on my sectional in front of my fire place to me it's cozy and comforting. I can't say I am overly romantic, but I am the type to walk hand in along the shore by moonlight or sun rise. Write our names in the sand and wish upon stars with you. I will bring you flowers, and write you hand written love letters just to express my inner self you and what you mean to me. I think every lady deserves a kind gesture of flowers and candy from time to time and to know she is she loved and appreciated.

At this time in my life I am finishing my BA in Visual Communications. I eventually want to have my own studio/business and be completely self financially secure. At he moment I am like most American's in debt and struggling month to month.. but I live comfortably and am rich in personality, ambition, and a good heart with good intentions.

* As for my taste in music.. I like all music except scream-o. I listen to R&B, hip hop, rap, pop, jazz, classical, country. I am very open. I like movies and will watch all kinds.

* Taste in foods or restaurants, I like Italian, Mexican, American, Chinese, Greek, and open to always try something new. Being I am partially Italian I love the Olive Garden, Rose Bud Restaurant in downtown Chicago, Hacienda, steak houses, and a few other spots local to me.


** Qualities that make up my personality include, but not limited in this particular order...LOYAL, HONEST, TRUSTWORTHY, AFFECTIONATE, COMPASSIONATE, CONSIDERATE, GENUINE, AUTHENTIC, HUMOROUS, CONFIDENT, AMBITIOUS, SEXUAL, DRUG AND DRAMA FREE.

Turn ons for me ** Femme woman, green eyes, ( not limited to but attracted to blonde's ) confidence, intelligence, sense of humor, smiles I love a woman who smiles

Turn offs ** liars, cheaters, head games, ignorance, drug users/addicts.

WHAT I SEEK.....LTR with a woman who has a desire of companionship, best friend and lover... who wants to come together and build a life NOT come along and destroy one. Some one who is honest, loyal, sincere, who is stable, sexual, and employed. Someone ready to accept my children ( teenage young men ) and be a equal partner who wants to have happiness and not drama. Who I can share my life and home with.
I am realizing this is not going to be found in someone instantaneously, but will take time and probably Thur a developed friendship, so I am seeking to find a friend and companion that can turn into something more.

I think a first date should be casual, and comfortable. I think going some where where you can talk and be yourself is best. Maybe have lunch/dinner at a mutual place we both like, after go see a movie together, hang out at the beach or do something fun we both like. I think a date is successful if both people enjoy the activity and company of the other.
