Date men and women from United States / Alaska / North Pole, 41 year old

Date men and women from Alaska, United States. New to the online dating scene. Just looking to see what happens. Hoping to find someone to hang out and have fun with. Would like to find friendship first, and over time, possibly a happy relationship.
I'm not a needy person, just happy to be alive. I enjoy going out or just relaxing at home. Pretty shy around groups of people. Not the type of person who needs attention all the time. Can be very happy doing my own things at times. I really try to avoid drama in life. Life is short and there's no reason to dwell on issues that can't be solved.
My kids are my top priority right now in life. Getting them through school and teaching them some respect towards people is all I'm trying to accomplish right now.
