I'm exploring life again on the singles scene. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for but I know what I'm NOT looking for. It's important for me to be around a person who appreciates someone who works hard, is competitive, and won't stop until the job is done. I'm highly independent so it's a guarantee that I won't be "clingy." I don't think I "need" a man in my life but it would be nice to find someone to share life's adventures with. My life is pretty over-scheduled right now but I do like to get out with great company when the time is available. Once I get my nurse practitioner stuff done this winter, things will hopefully "normalize." I desire a person who understands the importance of the so-called little things. It's amazing what a small display of thoughtfulness can do for a person. Anyone I date must also have a job and some sort of education. I never would have thought those qualities would be so hard to find. I have been a little cynical heading back into the singles world but I'm sure that's normal following divorce. I'm not looking to jump into a relationship but I wouldn't necessarily resist one if everything felt right.
