I am a 39yr old BBW, farm girl at heart and single mother of two, who has been in two long term relationships in my life. The first 15yrs, and the second 9 1/2yrs. I have worked since the age of 11, and continue to work hard every day. I am not interested in casual dating with someone who is not looking for a long-term relationship. Hoping to meet my best friend. The one I will spend the rest of my life with. I am looking for someone who loves me for me, and who will allow me to be the person that I am without wishing to change me. I am a very spiritual person, but I do not participate in organised religion. I am about 70% introvert and 30% extrovert, artistic by nature, and my children are number one in my life, with my career a close second. I am generally a tidy person, who's children sometimes turn my house upside down. I am a humanitarian at heart, I love animals (not a vegetarian tho), love audiobooks (as I am always on the go) and I love to cook for the people I love. I love watching movies, dinners out, walking, hiking, and trying new things. (I would love to one day go for a motorcycle ride, and I would love to travel...) I hope to find someone who is gainfully employed, romantic, financially secure, mentally healthy and fun, who will spoil me from time to time and walk beside me, catching me when I fall, and who will allow me to do the same for them. I am a strong minded, independent woman for the most part, who is looking for a man who can love and accept my independent nature, allowing me space when I need it. I love great discussions, and sometimes, debates, and I love to joke and have fun My dislikes are laziness, self-centered people, inefficient people and mean people. I tolerate video games, but do not expect me to participate in playing them and I am about as technologically challenged as they come, but after using 3 generations of iPhone, I think I have finally figured at least the phone out :) The most important things to me in a relationship are transparency and trust. IMO, without trust in your partner, you have nothing.
