I am a single mom ready to date again. I have one 16 year old left at home and now have more time for myself. I am NOT looking for a "bootie call" or "friend with benefits". I am looking for a man that is interested in exploring the possibility of a long-term relationship with a best friend. I am open, honest and caring. My work consists of taking care of seniors in their homes that have difficulty taking care of themselves. My nature is to nurture. I like to cook, entertain and spend time laughing with friends and family. I love the outdoors, the Bears and a good debate. I am conservative in my politics and Christian in my faith.

A great first date to me is conversation over dinner. Do we click, is the attraction and intellectual stimulation there? Do we have anything in common? Can we agree to disagree on those where we do not?
