I've now been seeing someone for nearly a year. We live together and like all relationships there are issues but I've never met someone like this one. No matter what the issue, no matter how sensitive or hurtful it may be, we can talk about it objectively, discuss the problem and come up with a resolution and a way forward together. I've never known anything quite like it.

When I was dating, I struggled to cope with it, I reached a point where I was miserable being single while all my friends had partners. Now I see there was something better...the best! for me out there.

Just like me, it'll take some time, but there's someone out there for you too.

**Old profile to follow***

First line is usually the most important so: I'm a woman and I like cars and can do my own DIY!!

Interested? Read on...

Right we’ll start from the bottom and work our way up shall we, seeing as I’m sick of seeing all these stupid profiles of men that state ‘if you’re over size 12 then don’t waste my time..’ I’M OVER SIZE 12…dont waste MY time! (not forgetting that the average size is now size 14, it’s about time these men got out of the dark ages don’t you think?!)

Ok so now we’ve got rid of those arrogant narrow minded blokes that only want a trophy girlfriend who in five years time having had a kid or two has finally caught up to my size we’ll carry on with the more sincere blokes shall we?....

I’m a size 18, I have a rounded figure and let’s be perfectly frank here…big cahoonas. If you can handle that then lets chat (ooo that rhymes lol!)

I’m honest, open and abrupt. If I think it, I’ll say it and I’ll be perfectly frank with it.

When with someone I’m thoughtful, loving and tactile and I’m looking for the same in my partner. I want to find my best friend as well as someone I love.

My interests include reading, cross stitch, cars or more specifically – My car and displaying it, and all the usual crap of watching TV, going to the cinema and nights out clubbing, pubbing or just chilling with mates.

I want to meet someone with the same kind of interests but who doesn’t need to be in my pocket 24/7, but who I can turn to no matter what the problem.

Specific requirements:
Have a profile pic - no pic, no reply
Be fairly local, I have an old car in mint condition and with extremely low mileage, I'm not adding mileage just to chase up and down the country after you.
Want kids or at least be open to the idea
Be serious about looking for a long term relationship
Preferably non smoker, or light smoker, I dont mind too much, just dont like the ashtray breath and stale smoke on the clothes, so be hygienic about it.

If any of the above is not you, don’t waste both our time.

All this said, don’t let my bluntness put you off, I’m a perfectly friendly kind of person, easy to get on with and totally approachable.

So that’s me, if anything’s not clear or you want to know more, just shout!

Happy hunting

Oh and there's a certain someone who knows who he is, who is friends with my 'mum' but is too shy to talk to me....get in touch!!! I'd love to find out more about you.
