About me: I'm laid back, but driven; funny and intelligent; self aware, but I never take myself too seriously. I'm a great friend and mother, and I'm always available when needed. I've had my heart broken enough to know the value of a good man. I love watching live music with a good dark microbrew in hand, but I can also dress to kill for a fancy night out with a good bottle of wine. I'm a slow runner who runs for fitness, not pleasure. I value higher education and must date someone who can converse and banter with me intelligently. I love to travel, but don't do it enough. I have an overall positive outlook in life, and I'm looking for the same in a man. I'm moderate in my political views, but I'm looking for something traditional in my next relationship. Not sure I'm ready to find "the one," but who knows? I'm open to whatever happens. I am low drama, get along with my ex, and not an angry person--life is too short. I love my job, make good money, and own my own home. I am very social, but I also need my own space. I am certainly not high maintenance, and I have a wicked sense of humor! :)
What I'm looking for: As I stated above, a man with a positive outlook on life. One who is spontaneous and knows the importance of living in the moment. Someone who is fit and works out on a regular basis. I also want someone who's laid back and doesn't worry about every little thing. Someone who is social and has his own hobbies (and when I say hobbies, I don't mean work). It's also important to me that you are not afraid to communicate verbally, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Someone who always tells the truth and doesn't keep things inside. Integrity, honesty, and loyalty are a must. Intelligence is also crucial. Oh, and you must know how to treat a lady--open doors, pull out chairs, take my coat, treat me with respect, never expect me to pay the tab (even though I will insist at times). Please know who you are, and be emotionally mature. One more thing--you must have a good sense of humor and love to laugh!
***Please don't contact me if you're married, separated, or just looking for a hook-up.
PS--I'm not a fan of sending each other a ton of emails and/or texts. If you think we'd have fun, let's email, text, and call 2 or 3 times, then let's meet! Nothing too fancy at first--just a beer or coffee.
