Well, I wish dating was like it was in the good ol' days: where a man picked a lady up at her place, opened the doors for her, and honored his word. Now, however, people are crazy and you can't tell them where you live or where you work. And they liiiiiiiiie. Does anyone honor their word? I don't get it? Any sane, honorable GENTLEMEN left out there? That being said, I will not just hand out my number. If you want something, ask for it. Didn't your Mama raise you with any manners? Here's a complete turn-off, when a (ahem) "man" says: "Here's my number....text me, girl". Firstly, I'm not a "girl"; I am a lady. Secondly, if you don't know how to handle a lady, then perhaps you should continue chasing little girls. Further, there is a common courtesy rule that I was taught when I was growing up known as the "10-10 rule". This rule states that no one should call/text or visit between the hours of 10p and 10a. Yes, I'm old school. Yes, I was raised with class and taught how to be a lady but more importantly, to be treated as one. So, I will not call or chase a man. Number 1: I don't need to. Number 2: If he's interested, he'll let me know. Ladies need to allow men to be gentlemen. I don't have time for games, liars or married jerks. If you are only wanting to "date casually", don't message me. I'm not here for a booty call or anything similar. I don't want to see pics of your weiner either! Yes, I said that word. The site wouldn't allow me to say the appropriate word. Yes, believe it or not, it has happened--on multiple occasions, otherwise, it would not be necessary for me to HAVE to say that. Guess common sense isn't so common these days...I believe in God, respect, honesty and chivalry. I am a country girl at heart; love the outdoors. I was raised on a ranch...I know how to get down and dirty! I work hard and I play hard! Looks can be deceiving; you wouldn't know from looking at me that I am from the country, as I am typically dressed as though a native city folk ;) I love being outdoors and anything water-related. I'm a huge sports fan, as well. Honestly, I have fun wherever I am at because that's who I am. Venue is irrelevant but it keeps things exciting : ) I love adventure and trying new things! I'm usually laughing and being facetious. Hope you can handle a smartass (a respectful one, though). I have two kids: my black lab (firstborn; 9 yrs) and an amazing son (6 months). They are my entire world! My miracle baby. We have a lot of fun together! I'm also working on my Doctorate in Child Psychology. I love animals and kids. Music is my world! I am a sucker for blue eyes and tall/big men (6'0 or taller) because I enjoy wearing stilettos. I can't be taller than you because well, that's just creepy amazon-woman-kinda-thing. I'm not into: tats, beards, piercings, gingers (sorry), Hurley or gym rats or douches who take selfies of their "muscles" in the mirror (in their apartment or at the gym). Women don't dig that. Keep your clothes on. Be respectable. I don't do dark meat either. aka: I don't date outside of my race. Ps I don't need a penpal. Had one of those when I was 12. That being said, I'm not going to text you for any extended length of time. A real man calls. If you are a man of God, enjoy sports, adventure, traveling, honor your word and are looking for a genuine, honest woman and a commitment, then I would love to hear from you. : )
