Hi there, I’m a single mom with two boys age 17 & 15 so I'd like to meet someone who also has children of their own or who isn't looking to start a family.

If you have a sense of humour, are a little bit on the normal side and not always looking to be spontaneous (although this sounds great; to just get up and go, it's not very practical in my life currently) then that sounds like a good start.

Same old thing as everyone else says, chemistry determines if it's friends or more and that's hard to tell online. I put long term because that is the ultimate goal but that doesn't mean joined at the hip from day one. I do tend to be a bit quiet but i guess that's a trait of us 'good listeners'. I can't tell a joke, i always screw it so i think I'm a bit envious of stand up comedians.

Just a note*** If you always have a negative attitude or are looking for the next big party to go too we probably aren't a great match.

Something simple!
