I'm a 44 year old divorced mother of two both of whom are in college. I have a career which I really enjoy which allows me to take care of myself. In other words, I'm not looking for a man to take care of me! When not working, I enjoy taking my dog for a walk, reading, spending time with my friends as well as meeting new people. Life's an adventure and I'm up for trying new things.

I'm looking for a nice man who can be serious when the situation requires and silly when it doesn't. . I don't think it's necessary that we like the same things to be compatible...you just know it when it's right! I read recently that men are like microwaves and women are like slow cookers. So, for you guys, you might know when it's right immediately while it takes a us just a bit longer.

I appreciate straight shooters...'cause that's what I am. Somebody who means what he says and says what he means. Although not to the point of being hurtful. "honesty without compassion is cruelty".
I'd like to meet a man who has diverse interests and would like to include me in some and would be interested in trying the things I like too. I don't need to spend every waking minute with my guy...I like my space and would hope that a man would like his own as well.

I've started working out at Life Time Fitness and just love it there. My favorite class is called barbell strength. For now the body type is average but who knows what the future holds!





My pet peeves: it really irritates me when people don't use punctuation when communicating on the 'net. I just don't know when a sentence begins or ends. I also don't like it when somebody uses a term of endearment with me when they haven't even met me! There are oh too many people who project and it's a bit disconcerting. (wonderful hints to scare me away, don't you think??)

I do tend to be cautious so a first date would be in a public place...like Starbucks.
