Hello and welcome. Thanks for taking a moment to stop by...
Ok, ok, the headline on my page is a joke...I don't take myself quite that seriously. Still, I've gotta be close to perfect for somebody out there...right? RIGHT?!!! So let me introduce myself...
Yankee transplant here. I moved to NC from Michigan in 2001. I have a degree in computer science and currently working on a B.A. in Business Management. One class left to go...Hooray!!! If all goes well, I will be graduating in August. I'm 5'8 without heels, size 14, and actually a brunette but I am blonde for the time being and plan to stay one for awhile. Three kids in their 20s, and one terrific 16 yr old son at home. I am very down to earth and realistic, but I still have dreams. Independent, intelligent, caring, a great listener, good communicator, and I love to laugh. Very much a lady.
I believe friendship is the fundamental foundation for a solid, long-term relationship. Looking for friendship first, and hoping to possibly find my best friend in the process. I don't need a man to take care of me, nor do I need one to be happy, but it would be nice to find, God willing, that one man who will be my man, my partner, my heart for the rest of my life (hopefully before I'm 82, completely deaf, nearly blind, and only have three months left to live!!!) If you should turn out to be 'the one', I will provide a safe haven from the madness of the world, a shoulder to lean on, a partner for adventures. I will be your biggest advocate, your devoted cheerleader, your helpmate in your endeavors, your sounding board, your best friend.
My top three favorite activities are: Fishing, Sailing, Shopping! I love to read anything but romance novels. Also love all the usual; dinner out, movies (just not gory slashers), friends, backyard cookouts, traveling when I can, learning new things, and great conversation. Ok, so I'm not good at bowling, shooting pool, or golfing...did I mention I like to learn new things? I also like to stay active in my community.
One last thing about me: No drugs or heavy drinkers please.
Race is not important to me, but character definitely is!!! If this is a problem for you, I understand and wish you the best of luck elsewhere.
ABOUT HIMI believe the KEY ingredients in any successful relationship are Communication, Respect, Compromise, and Commitment. My ideal man is between 35 and 55, lives within an hour of me, is definitely a gentleman, as well as fun, financially secure, confident, faithful, family-oriented, intelligent, a conversationalist, high morals and values, born-again, respectful, responsible, compassionate, trustworthy, and makes me laugh. Whew! (Well, I did say 'ideal'!!)
While I would hope to find someone who possesses most, if not all, of the aforementioned qualities, I am not looking for the 'PERFECT' man. We all have our flaws and quirks. I am looking for the man whose flaws are the type that I can live with, possibly even find amusing, and who can accept mine. I admit, I am still a work in progress!
If I've piqued your interest...feel free to drop me a line.
Can't think of anything to say? Maybe this will help. Just copy and paste with your answers. LOL (Yes, I have a quirky sense of humor!)

I can think of a ton of scenarios. I am fairly flexible. Depends on the person, our mutual likes, and the amount of time we have available. I don't think there is one perfect first date. As long as we are laughing, talking, and clicking...its a good date.
