ABOUT ME Born and raised in the mid-west. I'm the eldest and only daughter of 6 kids. I am outgoing but I enjoy time to myself as well. I am well traveled with a fair amount of formal education and feel my communication skills are one of my strong points. I prefer small intimate gatherings or one on one connections over clubs, bars or large gatherings of people. I enjoy a variety of things: kickboxing, tai chi, meditation, cooking, red wine, spending time by the water, spending time with family and friends, reading, watching movies etc...
I have a 9 year old son who lives with me half the time and half the time with his father. His father and I get along well so there is no drama in that regard. I love my son dearly and strive to be a good parent.
I am open to someone who already has kids. I absolutely would have no issue with being deeply involved with the children of a partner. However, I do not feel the need to procreate further. If that is something you want I am open to discussing it, but I have to tell you that it will be a tough sell.
Race is not an issue. I have dated mostly Caucasian men though. Age wise I'm fairly open. Preferably I like 30-45. That seems to be the age range I click best with.
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR...
I'm looking for a long term relationship that involves a true connection that goes beyond the physical. I'm looking for love...the deep kind. The man I am looking for will be seeking the same thing. He will be respectful in his words and his actions, open minded and rather adventurous (ie. a general curiosity about life and a desire to try new things). Other qualities I look for are: honesty, passion, confidence (who doesn't find confidence sexy though), intelligence, emotionally available (scary stuff hungh?), romantic, optimistic, sensual....
Front Row Seats... Life is a theater - Invite your audience carefully. Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives...
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance...
It`s amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize, your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships...
Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention. Which ones lift and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones always have drama or don`t really understand, know or appreciate you? . The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the FRONT ROW and who should be moved to the balcony of your life...
You cannot change the people around you. But you can change the people you are around...
First Date
I'm very open and flexible...the first date for me is about getting to see more about who you are and whether we are compatible. It's a first step in a potentially much longer journey, so let's just make it fun and memorable as well as insightful.

I realize this may limit some potential dating activities. That is why I mention it. Some of these items will be slowly reintroduced into my life but at the present time they are a no go. Thanks.
