I am a divorced mother of 2 young children. They are my main focus in life. I am a fun and happy person, even when things aren't going just right. I love waking up with a smile and a good cup of coffee. I enjoy the outdoors, the water (which we don't have much of lately), the beach, mountains, fishing and Nascar. I'm a silly mom and learned a while ago not to sweat the small stuff. Spills can be wiped up, but broken hearts aren't as easily fixed. I've always tried to teach my children to treat others with respect and kindness, even if those people don't reciprocate. At least knowing that you've done the right thing, it's a lot easier to go to sleep at night. I am finding more and more than I am definitely a nurturer and am happiest knowing that I'm helping someone else. Selfish is not in the words to describe me.
I now realize that I haven't really said what I'm "looking" for on here... I think first and foremost what is appealing in a man is a positive outlook on life. Complaining and being negative about minor things isn't a good trait to have. Looks are usually important, but I find that is less important than someone's good character and respect of others. It does make a difference whether you take care of yourself and have pride in how you look. I have young children, so if you aren't interested in being a positive figure to them, we have a problem. I am not a smothering type person that has to spend every waking moment with someone, but it is nice to have someone that looks forward to spending some time with me doing whatever. You can never go wrong if you want to go fishing!
I'm an affectionate person and enjoy snuggling, hugging and kisses. A mate should be respectful of women, children and their elders. I was never for that women's lib junk. If I was meant to be a man, God would have made me that way. However, I have a brain and my own opinions, so you don't have to bossy, mean, condescending or rude. In a nutshell...I would like a relationship with a man that is nice, respectful, well-kept, hard working, and funny...
I don't really have an idea of a perfect first date, BUT I do think that going to a theater on a first date is a bad idea, because you don't have an opportunity to talk and learn things about each other.
