How would you describe yourself?
Yes, I am an actual female from the United States. I use big words, I speak very well, I look exactly like my pics, I'm a great kisser, I'm a horrible dancer and I have all my faculties about me. Just thought I'd set the record straight.
I just moved back to Jacksonville after moving to Peoria, IL...from Jacksonville. I moved back for my sister. She's willful, hard-headed, sassy and was very ill. I placed my career on hold to become her caregiver. It made dating exceedingly difficult.
I'm exactly 6' tall without shoes (the "above" on my profile scares me... That's only with heels...) I consider myself confident, funny, nerdy, straight-forward, independent, conscientious, silly, easy on the eyes, hardworking, avid Bears fan, extremely giggly and an uncontrollable blusher. (Some would say I'm a "rabid" Bears fan. By the way, I've had all my required shots, so I know I'm not rabid. I do, however, admit that I blush fast and furiously at an honest compliment.)
When I'm not trying to find the perfect bowl of Vietnamese soup or Chinese buffet, I enjoy movies ( Zombie movies are in my top 10), cooking, baking, sporting events (football, hockey & baseball), supporting local bands and spending time with my children. This may sound a little nerdy, but when I'm stressed out or need to clear my head, I play House of Dead on my Wii. Nothing says "Hey, it's not that serious" like blasting some zombies for a few hours.
I have two wonderful daughters, 27 and 18, whom I love, respect and adore. I am at an age where I love my kids, as well as children in general, but don't want to add to the overall gene pool.
I am comfortable in my own skin and know that I am no longer a 20-something (nor do I try to or even want to be). I know who I am, I know what I want and I don't need anyone to "complete" me; rather, I'd like someone to be a "compliment" to me. You should have your own life and be willing to respect mine. By no means am I looking to get married tomorrow; however, I've made up my mind that I'm looking for a lasting relationship built on friendship, laughter and love. I'd like to start with friendship and laughter. All the rest will come in time... Or not.
I was taught at an early age that chivalry is not dead and I would like to believe that still holds true. Although I'm independent, I'm still flattered when doors are opened or a chair is pulled out for me.
I don't want to sound like fifty thousand other chicks out there, because I'm not like the fifty thousand other chicks out there. I want to find someone who feels comfortable with silence, but knows when to speak. Someone I can find common ground with, but has a wide enough base of interests that there's always something new I'm learning about him. Someone I can laugh with, go see movies, art exhibits, concerts... Quirky Steampunk Mime street shows... Whatever with.
It's easy to sound perfect in the beginning... It's when you've let the relationship marinate for a while that things get real. I'm looking forward to finding someone I can feel deeply for after the shiny veneer fades. I'd like to find "that one guy" whoever he is. It all starts with friendship. If we can't hang out, we're not going to hang on.
I would be remiss if I didn't say looks mattered. I'm not sure if I have a type, but I know what I find attractive in a man. Having said that, pictures are a must, preferably current.
I am looking for
I hate this part of the show... I'm looking for someone who's charming, funny, smart, can take a joke but not make people the butt of their jokes. Well spoken and educated would be nice. Confidence without being smug is incredibly sexy. I prefer tall, athletic men (be forewarned, I got curves and want to keep them, but am not opposed to working out to stay healthy).
As this is an interracial dating site, I guess I have to officially state that I prefer white or Latin men. My formative years were spent in a predominantly Caucasian community. I didn't grow up in a "typical" black household (although both of my parents were black, one from Detroit, the other from East St. Louis).
What I'm NOT looking for is a sugar daddy, or the reincarnation of Snow (yeah, I'm showing my age... If you don't know who he is, YouTube it, dang). If you're looking for your "shawty", that's not me.
If you're looking for an intelligent, well spoken, educated black woman (not girl... Or guuurl) with a crazy sense of humor and an amazing set of... Dimples, drop me a line.
