I am an extremely passionate person and will put endless effort into romance and us time- breakfast in bed surprise vacations. I am a strong woman with a heart of gold. I am completely drama free. I love going to the gym on a regular basis and i stay in shape, so i feel my man should too. I love getting all dolled up and being a girlie-girl, just as much as I love throwing on a Jersey and watching a Bears or Bulls game. I'm not into the party/club lifestyle. I grew out of that a while ago. If that's what you enjoy doing on your weekends we are totally not a match. Add the following ingredients communication, ambition, honesty, innovative, fun, adventurous/spontaneous and triple communication, voila! The reason why i mentioned communication twice is because sometimes we hold (including me) comments, opinions, thoughts, etc that leads to chaos. Just throw it out, don't filter it, organic words are good. I'm looking for that special someone who's honest, a man who is AFFECTIONATE, a friend that I can have a conversation with and share special moments with. I'm looking for a man who appreciates a good romantic woman with a good set of values and driven. I'm an easy to get along with and that also appreciates a man who can be a good friend and partner. Looking for a match that has strong family values. I am a proud mother of a 9 year old boy who means the world to me. He has made me the woman who I am. My family is a big part of my life and hope my partner can appreciate that. Hopefully he values family as much as I do. I am not here to go on dates and meet different guys every week, t
