Originally, I had on here dating...thinking that was the best way for meeting people, but at this point in time I am looking for a long term relationship. To find that one that you both think of each other through out the day, can't wait until the next email, text or IM conversation, and most of all being able to spend time together.

I am looking for someone who shares many of the same interests as I do, yet believe different interests can lead to exploring new possibilities. Although I have quite a few interests listed, there is always more to learn as it is hard to list everything separated by commas or put it into a paragraph.

Hmmm, a little bit about me - I am a mom, a returning college student and a hard-worker at more than one job. I always push myself too hard and never get enough sleep, but enjoy time for playing and laughing. I love animals - whether it is my dog and cat, or watching those in nature. I enjoy many outdoor activities - being raised in the country, then moving to the city. I enjoy various genres of music depending on my mood - from classical music to metal, just don't care for rap or listen to too much country. I can be equally happy having a game night at home, snuggling and watching movies, going to a concert or listening to live music, taking a road trip, camping/sitting under the stars by a fire and spending time with family and friends.

Not to sound rude - but if you add me as a favorite, please do so because we have communicated and a reason exists for such an action. I can not understand those that add you as a favorite, yet have never talked to you or leave you on their list for no apparent reason.

By this time, we will have had quite a few emails and conversations - I think meeting at a place where you can have a drink and talk, or even an activity where you can move around and talk to see what kind of chemistry there is works the best. I have never been a fan of going to a restaurant or movie - but if everything goes well, we will already know what each other likes for another date.
