Let me put this out there: I know what I am looking for. I know who I am and my place in life. I do not want to be just another friend. I know what I want, its just finding it. I don’t need a man to define who I am, or change me into someone I’m not. I am wanting someone to be by my side, not in front of, or behind me. I am a strong woman with a heart of gold. I want someone to come home to at the end of the day. I am happy with who I am and what I’ve become and accomplished. I’m lookin’ for someone who loves me for me and doesn’t sweat the little things. Yeah, I may do some things that annoy you but trust me, you’ll miss them when I’m gone. I don't want to be just another girl on the sidelines, on the back burner. I WANT a mature, loving man. He needs to have the balls to tell me how he feels. He NEEDS to know how to COMMUNICATE his feelings with me. I am not here for games. I refuse to be the girl next door, the one you're looking for but can't find. Well, honey. I'm right here. Open your eyes. We may end up being best friends but let's try a relationship and take that chance to see where things go. Life is full of surprises and you never know what you'll get. Don't be afraid to hurt my feelings. Be HONEST. It's the best policy. I am so SICK of dating. I'm always the one you're lookin for and been here all along, you've just never noticed. Tired of always being the friend and never the girlfriend. This being said.... I'm not your typical girly girl. I'm simple but complicated. I hate drama and avoid it at all costs. I don't care what others think about me; I love who I am. I am a humorous person; or I like to think that I am. I don't take things personally. On the other hand, I love to go 4 wheeling, absolutely love the outdoors and hope you are up for a fun weekend getting dirty with me. I know how to be a lady and sure hope you can clean up well, too and also know how to act like a gentleman. I was raised old fashioned and expect the same. I'll even smile and say "thank you," unlike some girls. I'm college educated with a pion for helping others. I don't have kids, only two cats. Does that count? =) I am laid back and easy going, would like to be surrounded by the same type. Not much of a drinker and don't care for smokers. If this interests you, message me and we will go from there. I'd like someone who is independent, strong minded, who can be as goofy as I am, willing to take things slow and see where we end up and decide from there .Now, if I told you everything on here, doesn't that defeat the purpose of you e-mailing me? Oh yeah and please...if you are looking for a one night stand, please keep looking and move on. I'm as real as it gets, and I absolutely hate being disrespected. I'm not a model, I may not be rail thin, but I do have confidence, I take care of myself and I do have feelings, just like you. On a lighter note, I'm looking for someone real, genuine, kind, caring, sweet...someone that I can devote my spare time to getting to know. I'm not your ex wife/girlfriend, nor do I want to hear about her. First date? Take me fishing or out somewhere for an enjoyable evening outdoors. I am easy to please.
