I AM NOT INTERESTED IN AN ONLINE-BUDDY. IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME OR ARE NOT INTEREST IN MEETING IN PERSON WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME THAN PLEASE DON'T WASTE MY TIME OR YOURS.

IF OUR SCHEDULES/OBLIGATIONS DON'T MESH (I WORK DAYSHIFT MONDAY THRU FRIDAY), THEN IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK!!

I AM INTERESTED IN A LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP SO I HAVE NO INTEREST IN DATING MULTIPLE PEOPLE, OR IN MEN THAT ARE DATING MULTIPLE PEOPLE, I PREFER GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE ONE-AT-A-TIME, IF YOU ARE THE TYPE THAT IS LOOKING FOR THE NEXT BEST THING, PLEASE DON'T BOTHER!

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS NOT FOR THE "FAINT OF HEART", PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!

I DON'T REALLY CARE FOR MOTORCYCLES, I'VE DON'T THINK I'LL EVER BE ON ONE.....I DON'T CARE IF YOU LOVE IT, THAT'S AWESOME, RIDE, BE FREE, HANG WITH YOUR BUDS. I WILL HAVE DINNER READY WHEN YOU GET BACK!

I DON'T REALLY CARE FOR SNOW....SAME RULES APPLY.....BE FREE, HANG WITH YOUR BUDS, I'LL HAVE THE COCO AND FIRE READY WHEN YOU GET BACK TO THE LODGE!

I DON'T REALLY CARE FOR SHINY BALD HEADS. I KNOW IT'S THE THING THESE DAYS, BUT I REALLY DO LIKE TO RUN MY FINGERS THROUGH MY MAN'S HAIR.

I HAVE A VERY BUSY SCHEDULE, SO I WOULD LIKE TO FIND SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THAT.

I AM NOT, AND I REPEAT NOT, GOING TO PLAY KISSY FACE WITH YOU ON A FIRST DATE,I'LL HUG YOU GOODBYE, MAYBE A QUICK PECK ON THE CHECK, AND THAT'S IT. IT'S WHO I AM AND I LIKE WHO I AM.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR "FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS" JUST KEEP ON LOOKING, I'M NOT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR YOU.

I'M GOOFY, I TELL GOOD STORIES, EVEN WHEN MY LIFE IS "HELL" I CAN MAKE YOU LAUGH ABOUT IT....IF YOU CAN'T FIND SOME BIT OF HUMOR IN EVERY SITUATION, IT WILL TEAR YOU APART REAL FAST.

I AM BAD AT ANSWERING PHONE CALLS AND CHECKING EMAILS, IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME!!!!

I AM IN NO HURRY, I WANT A MAN, I DON'T NEED A MAN, AND THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD WHEN YOU MEETING LADIES!! LADIES THAT NEED A MAN CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL!! (SOMEONE RECENTLY TOLD ME THAT LADIES THAT NEED A MAN END UP ON AN EPISODE OF "COPS"....SO TRUE BABY!)

I DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, MAYBE NOT EVEN SECOND OR THIRD SITE, ONCE AGAIN, THIS ISN'T YOU, IT'S ME, "IT'S HOW I ROLL" LOL!!

I DON'T CARE IF YOU SMOKE, JUST NOT DURING DINNER, OK!

I AM JUST A NORMAL MID-WESTERN MOM, I'M TOO OLD TO BE CALLED "SEXY" OR "HOT"....THAT IS JUST PLAIN CREEPY SOUNDING TO ME!

....AND BY THE WAY, IF YOU READ ALL OF THIS YOU ARE ONE SPECIAL PERSON.....SHOWS SOME COURAGE!!

I really consider the first "date" just a meet n' greet. No expectations. Keep it simple.
