Well. I swore I wouldn't do this again (first time was in my 20's), but here I am. Never say never, I suppose!! Figured I really didn't have anything to lose and wanted to prove a point to myself in the process...that there are decent, respectful, honest men out there who treat women the same way they would want another man to treat their own daughter.
As for what I'm looking for, I want a man who is confident, but not cocky. Self-assured but not arrogant. Both are hard to find these days. I'll be honest, an indecisive/unsure person is not someone I can handle, and I don't think that person could handle me in return. Also, someone who loves to laugh and can laugh at themselves is very important. Life is too short to take yourself so dang seriously all the time.
Me in a nutshell: I'm a pretty laid back, emotionally/spiritually secure, low key/low maintenance kind of lady. As if you couldn't tell that by my no makeup photos - LOL Honestly, how many women in their 40s do you know that are confident enough in themselves and their beliefs to do that, especially on an online dating site? I know I am; and if that scares you off, by all means, please move along. Oh, but not to worry, I certainly clean up well and do wear makeup when I'm going out/not doing the day-to-day mom thing :-) Speaking of, I'm a mom to a super wonderful 4-1/2 year old son who I have 5 out of 7 nights of the week; and as such, I don't have a lot of down time, but when I do I love to go out with friends, movies, always listening to country music (how did I live without IHeartRadio before!!), enjoying a good road trip, walks on the beach, cuddling on the couch, having great conversations, and just living life each day as it unfolds in front of me.
I will say, yes, I love cooking and going out to restaurants/coffee shops/ cafes, and the whole socialization aspect around food. However, for the incredibly positive health aspects of it, I do eat Paleo/Whole 30...basically on an 80/20 basis, so if you know what that means, it gets you a huge smile from me and definite bonus points. :-D But, just because you may not eat the same way/things I do or even know what Paleo is, does not mean I wouldn't like you/consider getting to know you. It takes all types to make the world go around after all.
Thank you for your time in reading this. May we all one day find what we're looking for in life and in love. :-)
