I am looking for that special man that knows how to communicate, love life, learn to love each other, and know how to get past the rough times. I am not wild and crazy, but do love to keep life interesting. Men, please be respectful, open minded, monagamous, and not a couch potato. Please have a sex drive, optimistic, and self independent. I do own my own home, so I am not a gold digger, but also don't care for moochers either. I might not be the prettiest woman on this site, but I do have brains. Plus, if you are the arguing type, controlling issues, insecure, married, have a gf, please do not contact me. Friends 1st, communication is important. I don't want to hear about your ex relationships. They are the past for a reason. Making me laugh is an A and knowing when to be serious is an A+. If we have things in common and there might be something more to the friendship, then the natural part of life will fall into place. Also, please live in Colorado Springs or somewhere close. If you live a 100 miles away, be prepared to drive here. I am not willing to relocate, but if you are, then we will see how things go. I am assertive and compromise on certain issues. If your profile is fake, then please do not bother me. Also, I do have children. They come 1st in most situations, which if you have children, I would expect you to do the same. Great dads are very sexy! If you would like to meet, send me a note, & we can make plans. Shannon
