About me: Intelligent, but silly at times. Caring but independent...
You'll have to talk to me more to get to know me.
I'm looking for: The number one thing I look for in a man is whether or not he is open with me. I believe communication is the key to a good relationship. Without it you can't have trust. Without either of those two things, you can't even begin to work on a loving relationship.
I'm looking for someone who doesn't keep the past stuck in the front of his memory. It's normal to fear relationships, but how do you know if she's right for you if you don't give her a chance. I don't like being compared to past girlfriends because I don't think I qualify as "like everyone else".
I have a sence of humor that is unusual. I'm a smart alec, and I like a man who can appreciate it without being offended and acting like a cry baby. What I'm not looking for is another child to take care of. I'm a mother already and don't need to be one to a perfectly capable adult man. He has to be independant. He needs to be able to take care of himself when no one else is around. A car doesn't mean independance, you can take the bus and still be able to fend for yourself. He has to have a job. Call me shallow, but I don't like being seen as a "bread-winner" in a relationship. Paying for dinner occasionally is alright, but I don't need to be the one shelling out all the money. The man I want in my life needs to be able to think for himself. I consider myself intelligent and I hate a person who insults such intelligence by not listening to a word I say.
I've been single for a very long time, and though my standards might seem a little on the high side but, heck, I know I deserve it.
