Hello, I am an intelligent, funny, outgoing girl looking for the same in a man. I know how to treat someone I care about and know how I should be treated as well. I am a second grade teacher in an elementary school and love what I do. I speak German fluently, my mom is from Germany. Being a German girl, I am very strong-willed and know what I want out of life.

I have an elementary degree, just completed additional certification in the area of gifted education, and National Board Certification. I am currently finishing my masters in gifted education. I don't think you could ever learn enough in life, and I enjoy learning new information.

I have been divorced for a year now and I gained two incredible daughters from the experience as my parting prize. I am very happy in my life but would love to find someone to share my happiness with. I have kind of a chameleon personality in that I can fit in almost anywhere and get along with almost anyone. I love all kinds of music depending on my mood. I can go from one extreme to another, classical to punk.

I just want to say to all you text messager/IMers out there: what ever happened to the simple "haha" when something is funny?? Why the "lol"? I think haha is getting a bad rap. It is just one more letter and frankly I feel more comfortable with it versus the lol. Just think about it... And don't get me started on the roflmao...looks like some Italian guy's name. And with all the new fancy ways of saying something is funny, where does that leave our friend "haha"? I'll tell you where: out crying and alone in the cold. That is nothing to laugh at. I am boycotting that lingo, guess I am just an old fashioned gal with old fashioned values. And if your life is sooo busy that you cannot stop for a moment and write out the haha when something is funny, then man you have bigger issues than abbreviating texts....take some time out of your busy life and smell the haha.

And one more thing, I am not looking for a f---(rhymes with truck) buddy. Yes, I know we all need sex, but I want and need more. I want the whole enchillada!! So if a physical relationship is all you want from me, throw me back and keep on fishing.

My perfect first date would be whatever my date and I agree upon. Everyone likes different things. The worst idea is probably a movie because you cannot really get to know each other since you cannot talk and if you do talk, you will get the stink eye from all the shushers at the theater and who really wants that?? Another bad first date would be going to a snake pit cuz man, I hate snakes....other than those the options are endless.
