I've done this a few times before. So let me share with you what I have learned from my past experiences on this website. First, the men that I have met in person are often surprised that I actually look like my picture. Maybe because I only have one up. I may be attractive but I have never been one to take pictures often, so if we ever get to the stage of texting do not ask me to send you a selfie, it will just frustrate the both of us. I sually have better things to do with ym time then take pictures of myself. Second, if we agree to focusing on getting to know one another, there is a little responsiblity that needs to be taken on both parties to be some what available and respectful of each others' time, because I know at least on my end I will be turning down offers, and I don't want to regret it a few short weeks later.I know myself enough to know that I don't have the emotional durability to give my body to anyone and hope for the best. I need time and evidence that who I share my time and my body with is worthy of my loyalty. I am also a blood donor, and I take that level of charity pretty serious, I don't need to pull myself out of the running over foolishness. All this to say, if you are looking for an easy chase, you may want to save your time and energy.For the rest you looking for something real, I am a dedicated single mother, I am proud of what I have accomplished for myself and my son so far, and impressed with what we have accomplished in our short journey together. However I had a great life adventure before he graced my presence and there is a side of me that misses the old me. The one who travelled internationally, the one who would go to latin clubs and dance the night away, the one who dined out some evenings to restaurants that were not a chain, and I love, love, love, Sunday brunch. I am also a bit old fashioned in that I love to have a man to cater to, to make a meal for, to depend on when something heavy needs to be moved or something around the house needs to be fixed. Come to think of it, I never had, that but maybe I saw it on tv and admired it there, and wondered, "Where can I get one of those?" I mean I have done all these things on my own before, but the one thing that I have learned since having my son is that life is more enjoyable with a partner at your side.
