WOW!

If you don't want honesty, respect and a real lady, please pass me by!

I have always been told and try to live by: "Honesty is the best policy." However, why is it that when I am honest, it is NOT really what a man wants? I am a one of a kind. I am honest to a fault sometimes, but people know where they stand in my world. I am not rude or nasty just put it out there.

Three words to consider for any relationship:
1)Desire
2)Need
3)Want
- There IS a difference in each one, I desire to have a man in my life to share things with. I DO NOT NEED a man in my life. I can do just fine on my own. I want one! Think about it!

Please have updated pictures! I keep mine updated, I would like the same from you. However, I have been told by many, I look much better in person!

If your profile says "Smoker" and you put "NO" - but then there's a picture of a cigar or cigarette hanging out, that's fine for you or someone else but not me. To me that means you have already lied.

Would like to find that LTR, but must be friends first, I mean come on, isn't that the way life really is? If not, it should be! I know it should be and IS in my world. I do not date around. I want a man that is mine. I am not possessive, but I do not like to share!

My feelings are mine and I want them respected as I will respect yours.

I have 4 wonderful kids. The 2 oldest boys are over 18 and have moved on with their lives. The next 2: 9 yo boy and 8 yo girl I share with their father 50/50 a week at a time. The fathers are a part of my life as I am his due to the kids. Just because it says "Do not want kids" that is wrong. If you have kids that's a bonus! If you don't have them, please be understanding of mine. I'm not looking for a father they have a great one! I am looking for a friend, companion and go from there.

I like to do outdoor activities, from camping (yes in a tent) to enjoying the sunset on the beach.

I can cook, clean and yes I would even iron your jeans! If you look good then it's a reflection on us!

I am looking to live the rest of my life not just exist.

I am not looking for Mr. Perfect, just the one that is perfect for me.

I want someone that likes to HONESTLY, hold hands, gentle kisses for no apparent reason, some one to give me butterflies and make me smile just looking forward to the next time we can be together.

I like to be adventerous and have fun! Try new things!

The week/ends that I do not have my kids I want to just get away with no particular destination. I do not have a bike, however I do love to ride! Saving for one for my 40th! So looking forward to it! I live for doing things spontaneously - even if it messes up the hair that's even better.

I can be comfortable in shorts, flip flops - and be just as confident in a nice dress.

As far as music, like a large variety.

Hang out at the beach with a beer (oops did I say that) not really into wine. Or sit by the pool and do the same.

Not looking for drama - life is drama enough without adding to it.

If I spark your interst drop me a line - otherwise good luck on your search.

Something fun and casual. Chance to relax, what you see is exactly what you get!
