I am newly (very newly) divorced and am honestly not looking to jump out of the frying pan into the fire. I do desire companionship, and I feel it would be nice to be dating someone. I am the opposite of the needy type, and certainly have no desire to swing from one relationship to another at the drop of a hat. I was single and living alone (with my 11-year-old daughter) for over 20 years prior to my recent marriage that just ended. We dated for three years prior to being married, then married for one year. We did not live together prior to getting married. Big mistake. It wasn't until after we consolidated households that I discovered I was in an abusive relationship. And because I am the opposite of the type of woman who tolerates disrespect, I got out early. One year was all I could muster. Pretty embarrassing to be telling everyone I am getting married, then turn right around and announce a divorce. Anyway.....that is where I am at.I am a really nice girl...very polite and respectful. I am not an easy score, so if that's what you are looking for, keep looking. I love the outdoors and am a very down-to-earth person. I am just as comforatable in my blue jeans as I am dressing up for a special occasion. So, I would say that I am a very well-rounded girl. I can knock down walls and tear out old flooring with the best of them, yet am extremely feminine and lady-like at the same time.I am learning that although I might be attracted to white collar men, that I tend to be more attracted to the blue collar type. I have yet to meet someone who is a little of both. Men who are afraid to get their hands dirty, well, I just cannot relate to that.I love country music and also listen to some Christian music at times. I am a spiritual person, not at all the religious type. I do not feel that routines and rituals constitute a closeness to a higher power. Nor do I claim to know how to define a higher power.
