OK, everyone says, "I hate these things ~ I don't know what to write," but in some cases it tends to be true... I am a strong and very independent person who has grown through all my experiences. They have made me who I am today, both good & bad aspects (everyone has faults if some kind). I am thankful for my friends, they are very important in my life, I basically consider them as part of my family, just as much as my actual family is.So with that, I guess I'll start off with I am not really sure what I am looking for (fun, short-term, friends, just dating or a relationship...) and to some, apparently that makes me a bad person... go figure, but if it does, in your eyes, I am not for you... If the fact that I want to test the waters is ok, then maybe we can strike up a conversation or something!A little in depth to me is I write poetry, it was something I started to do when I was married, the emotions of being sad, happy, angry flowed in such rushing matter that a piece paper & pencil seemed like a good release, and my thoughts were put on paper, and astonishingly a few months ago my hobby made me a profit when I became a published author. There are so many other things I could write, but I will leave you with a small taste of me..."Would you kiss me tonight, so soft-so gentle,arouse deep feelings, please make it ever so sensual.Can you feel a kiss without your heart, so warm your lips, so i can feel them apart.No words can be spoke, the meaning is trueI want a kiss that will last forever,for it's only between me and you!"Now, if you like when you see (since judging a book by it's cover is society's mantra) ask me a question to get to know me... isn't that the point of "dating"?? Besides where would the mystery & intrigue be if I told you everything about me...One more thing... My mom taught me to Never speak to strangers... so don't contact me without a picture... and not it's not conceited or materialistic... but if you don't think that physical attraction isn't important in a relationship, you are lying to yourself, and I am not interested in starting anything that jumps off with a lies.
