First let me just say...
~ Patience is a virtue ~

I am usually pretty laid back and get along very well with others, including females! LOL My sense of humour can be a little quirky at times but if you're okay with that, it's all good!
I stand 5'4 in height with long brown hair, deep brown eyes, and a small to average build. I am not shallow or a materialistic woman, but if you'd like to contact me, please have a pic of yourself posted and/or attach some photos in your email. Yes, most of us know beauty goes much further than what's on the outside, but the truth of the matter is, if there's meant to be sparks we'll find them in both our communication and photos. :) Yes/No? That said, I do have private images I can share.
I try hard to lead a healthy lifestyle which is rather important to me, and to my son. I am a non-smoker but I do enjoy a nice glass of red wine over pleasant conversation. I am not a drug user and will not date someone who uses drugs, smokes, or regularly over indulges his taste for alcohol (FYI - if you drink and then drive, that's a problem). I do know what I want, what I don't want, and what I hope to find in a potential partner. :)
I am a woman with varied interests, and many of them at that! If you're curious, check out the loooong (lol) list above!
I'm not here to play games, though dating should be fun of course! I do expect some seriousness when necessary, but I quite enjoy laughing and smiling as much as the next person. I am honest, loyal, understanding, friendly, caring and compassionate, and a woman who will speak her mind when I have something to say and most definitely when it's of importance to me. If a strong and confident woman frightens you, then this woman is not meant for your dating pleasure. ;) lol
I am not a jealous or controlling woman and I very much enjoy time to myself or with girlfriends doing what us girls like to do! :) Before two people become a ‘couple’, they both had friends, hobbies and interests...in my eyes, those things should not have to change. Yes, couples do things together and share time with one another (whether alone or with friends/family), but I also believe a healthy relationship requires each person still have a life of their own, defining who they are as individuals. Call me crazy! lol
When I am dating a new person, my time is limited until I know him better and I'm comfy. Also, as mentioned above, I do have a child. My son is very independent, intelligent and responsible, and he is (of course) my first priority. That said, I don't intend to rush anything, though I am seeking a meaningful and long-term relationship.
Oh yeah, and you must like cats, I own 2 of them (my 9 yr old & a new kitten)! :) I am a huge animal lover and will likely always be a cat owner...and if possible, a horse owner one day too! :) No joke.
If you would like to know more, please drop me a line!
