A little about me...
I am a very independent woman... but I would love a partner who I can continue to build with. Upon meeting me, I can seem very shy but once Im comfortable around you, I completely open up. I am also a single mom of an 8yr old boy... I love being a mom. I am a NYker and will be one until I die... no matter where I live. I moved out west 3 years ago and love the weather out here. I consider myself extremely introspective and usually very optimistic. I am definitely a silver lining person. My family is extremely important to me. Although I am an only child, I come from a huge family with many cousins, aunts and uncles. I am a teacher and have been one for 13 years... sooooo... simple grammar and spelling mistakes irk me... Other than that Im pretty pleasant and low key.

What are you looking for in a partner?
I appreciate men!!! No, I really do! It's the differences between us (men and women) that I love. I LOVE to laugh. I would say that humor, confidence (not cockiness or arrogance), and intelligence are the perfect mix. Notice I did not say looks. Yes I must be attracted to you but many things can make up attraction... most of those things are unexplainable. Also, as you hopefully realize, looks don't last. Even the most handsome man or the most beautiful woman has to open their mouth at some point... and if there is nothing intelligent coming out of their mouths, if they are not about anything... how long will that last??? Herein lies the problem... Of course on a website looks are all that you see. I can't see your humor or your confidence or your intelligence or what you stand for. So where does that leave us??? I guess on this site

I'd just like to add...
No flirts please... and no picture... no response.... I think that's fair. Also, I am not interested in anything long distance... been there done that and not up for it anymore. Although I do not have my son around men unless they are serious... if someone wanted a serious relationship with me they'd have to understand that he is my number one priority.
