I have posted a picture and like to think that you have taken the time too. Please note that you will more than likely not get a response if you do not have a photo, thanks...

Now on to me...

I am trying to make my way through this thing called life. It is not always easy, yet some make it even more difficult than it needs to be, especially since it seems that love/like/whatever does come in size....... AND I'm still trying....
I have recently graduated from The University of Findlay, with a BA in Criminal Justice AND Law and the Liberal Arts. I worked hard for this and am very happy that it is over, so that I can now rejoin reality. I currently work in retail but am looking for a more substantial job.
I believe that two people can be compatible, but not be right for each other, yet my hope and dream is that I meet "THE RIGHT ONE FOR ME" not Mr. Right, or Mr. Right Now. I have gone long enough in my life to be tired of being lonely, but that doesn't mean that the first guy that comes along will be the one that will "sweep me off my feet"
I have been told time and time again, You are so pretty, cute or your smile is amazing...well Thank you I appreciate that. But I am just me, I'm nothin special, but I am honest, caring affectionate, a good listener....all in all honestly I think I'm a pretty good catch...now I'm just waiting for the "right one for me" to catch me.....
I feel that you should date people and see what's out there, but to be respectful about it, and be respectful of yourself first and foremost.
On top of all of this, I am a single parent. My son means the world to me, and this being said I am a package deal, however, I keep my son out of things for obvious reasons, he doesn't need to be brought into it and get attached and then it not work out. But he is first in my life, but that doesn't mean that I do not have time for that special man in my life.
You may not agree with this, but I feel that your relationship should come first. It may not appear that it comes first as your child(ren) are important, but think about it....when the kids are all grown and gone, then what do you have left? Your relationship. If you do not put your relationship first or at least a priority then you will have nothing left when it is just you.....

Ok I have gone on long enough and I'm sure have bored you to death. Good luck in your search!!

I am a respectful person and I would ask that you be respectful to me.

I am new to the "dating game" and the whole online thing... patience is key.

I am honest, caring, and loyal, and expect the same. I do not think that that is too much to ask, but I haven't had much luck....

I will hold out for the right one, but how do you find the right one if you don't put yourself out there.

~~on a side note. I tend to change my hair often, including cut and color...so sometimes my pictures are not accurate as far as my hair goes...LOL (it was an issue for someone, so....now it's out LOL)

Just wondering>>>> If you put you don't want more kids on your profile, does that mean more BIOLOGICAL kids, or no more kids period (meaning if she has kid(s) then that's a not??

A first date should be comfortable, and warm. Communication before is a biggie, and where and what will take place on the date will be mutually decided upon.
