Ok let's make this easy, here is what I want:
I am hoping to meet someone honest and sincere. One lie and the trust goes right out the door. And believe me guys, we'll find out!
Someone who doesn't play games or string people along.
Someone straight forward and honest from the start. If you lied about something on your profile or your pics don't show the "real" you, I'm not the one for you. Which also means please have a picture or two- what are you hiding??
Someone who wants a serious relationship and has the time for it.
Someone that is reliable when making plans. I won't settle for less.
If you are into dating many girls at one time, skip me please.
And reread your profile, I am a teacher, spelling errors make me want to get out my red pen.

Enough about what I want, Now about me:
I'm a little shy and cautious so takes me a little while to warm up with the right person. Talking on the phone first is best for me.
I have my kids (5 and 7yrs) half the time so I have time to go out.
I like to go out or stay home. Doesn't matter as long as I enjoy the company.
Tried this before so not sure it will work but willing to try again.
Please skip if you are into games. I want someone serious.
I am very affectionate and want that in return.
I want to be with someone that cares enough about me to want to make time to be with me and shows it, and you will receive that in return.
AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN TELL BY READING SOME OF THIS I HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR. Don't take it so seriously.

Something informal and quick for the first one. Then take it from there.
