My hope is that someone real and honest will read my profile and respond to it. I have had enough of the games and lies and endless emails -- I am hoping to find the real deal. Is there anyone out there who is looking for more than just casual dating? Do people actually follow thru anymore - what happened to treating someone how you would like to be treated or do what you say and say what you mean? It seems to simple to me and yet it is proving impossible to find. I'm trying not to get jaded to the whole dating process but it seems like one big game that I dont want to play. I just want one real man in my life who I can count on and he can do the same - enough endless BS!!!

I am 31, 5'10, brown hair and eyes, overweight, not huge but certainly not a size 4, have thick thighs and a big butt!! If you aren't attracted to bigger women you probably wont like me - I take care of myself and am very comfortable in my own skin - just not a little cookie cutter twig. I'm attractive, have a college degree, have a job, my own place, a car, friends and family that I love. I'm funny, sarcastic, fiesty, romantic, down to earth, open and honest.

I rarely drink, don't smoke, love starbucks, bookstores, summer festivals, live music, movies, dinner, comedy clubs, reading, quiet dinners at home, museums, kissing, talking, snuggling up on the couch with someone special. I'm not really into the bar scene and not the type of person who has to be going out every night.

I'm at the stage of my life where I'm not looking for casual dating - I have never been married and dont have any children and those are both things I want for my future. I'm certainly not afraid of commitment - was with my ex for 6 years and have been single for 2 years. I know what I am looking for and what I can offer and what I deserve and I'm not going to settle for less. I really am a great girl and I am looking for an equally great guy to build a future with.

Am looking for someone who is a non-smoker, not a heavy drinker, tall, strong build, genuine, caring, respectful, romantic, funny, educated, has a real job and place of his own, has amibitions and goals for the future and has time to really get to know me. Please be open to a real relationship and be willing to actually meet and spend time together and see what might develop. You cant get to know someone by only spending an hour together once a week.

I do want to get married and have kids in the future so if that isnt in your plan then we probably arent a good match. I don't care if you are black, white or pink as long as you are a good guy with a big ...... heart - lol!!!

If you think we'd be a good match I'd love to hear from you!!!! I'm not perfect and I don't expect you to be either -- but maybe we are perfect for each other!!

As far as a first date I am open. We can do anything together -- it's the company you are with that makes a date great!!! Starting out with a casual coffee and conversation to see if we click and have some chemistry sounds good to me for starters!!
