How would you describe yourself?
I'm an educated professional female, raised in the south with southern manners and beliefs. Secure, passionate, driven, loyal, forward thinking, and a little old fashioned pretty well sums me up.
I married young and divorced soon after. Post divorce - I made a conscious decision to focus on children, family, career, and me - choosing to stay basically single. The first few years were because I had no desire to date. Once I wanted to date, my kids didn't need the confusion of men coming in and out of their lives.
My nest is now empty and it's time to begin the next chapter of life. I'm not overly pressed but determined to date with intention. I'm far from a serial dater and don't look to dating as a form of entertainment. Communication and honesty are very important to me.
I'm a down to earth person who is very comfortable just being me. I can feel at home in most any type of environment. I love to laugh and my humor can sometimes be a bit edgy. I don't pull any punches and would never intentionally hurt another person's feelings. Not into drama of any sorts because life is short. I'm far from perfect. I've played games in my 44 years - won some lost some - learned valuable lessons along the way. I can be impatient and head strong. I speed, curse when I'm angry (mostly to myself), and my filter sometimes get stuck in the open position. I guess most would say I am simply human.
Why am I here? My career brings me in contact with mostly women. I haven't stepped into a club in years. I refuse to date where I worship or work out. Blind dates scare me. Where I live, the social scene revolves around family. So here I am, dating online.
I am looking for
The traits I find desirable in a man are: being educated, professional, emotional maturity, the ability and desire to communicate, passion, honesty, respectful, security, dependable, and available. Not looking for perfection as it doesn't exist.
A strong man with slow hands is what appeals to me most - powerful with a slight edge. I respect a man who isn't afraid to stand for what he believes in but knows that sometimes staying seated is the best option because the fight just isn't worth it. I believe the true measure of a man is in his integrity. A moral compass is a must. Physical attraction is very important but at the end of the day, the inside is far more important than the gift wrapping.
Let's make some memories!
