I am a divorced mother of 2. I have a son,15, and a daughter,17. I have been a nurse for 20 years. I am intelligent, have a good sense of humor, and am looking for a life partner. I need a man who is secure enough to handle a strong woman. I am not a b****, I just have my own opinions, and I don't need anyone to tell me what to do, how to do it, or when to do it. Been there, done that. So if you are the controlling type, don't look here. I have taken care of myself and my kids for 8 years now, so I don't need a man to take care of me. I just want to share my life with a man who will love and respect me,as I do him. I have a lot of love to give the right man, and tend to spoil those I care about. So, if you can handle lots of love and devotion, and are willing to return the same, I could be what you are looking for. I am very loving, passionate, loyal, generous and kind. I will go out of my way to please, or avoid confrontations or arguments, but I will stand up for myself when necessary. Just take my hand and walk beside me, neither ahead of me nor behind me.

A first date can be any number of things, but I would prefer a situation where I could talk with my date and we could get to know each other.
