Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Menifee, 43 year old

Date someone special from Menifee, United States. Me: Elementary school teacher who acts like a total fool in front of her kids, but is shy around new men. But that quickly fades away once Ii get to know you. Then you cant shut me up!! I have two great kids, 14 yr old boy and 20 yr old girl. They are my world. Bought my own home 2 yrs ago so I am financially secure. Right now the backyard is my main project, more specifically the garden and pool. My favorite spots are Disneyland and the beach. I consider myself an amateur artist. I love to draw! During my summer vacation you will often find me on a Laguna beach either reading or drawing. I love to hold hands and show tons of affection to my partner. As Julia Roberts said in Pretty Woman, "I want the fairy tale."I love my life and just want someone to join me in the adventures of the next 40 years!! Life s a roller coaster, will you sit in the front with me?
You: my match will not be perfect becase I know that no one is. He needs to be able to relax and have fun. Workaholics need not respond. Time together is one thing you cannot get back. He needs to be able to have a balance between being able to show his feelings and being a mans man. Playfulness is a must!! I am looking for a partner not a daddy or to be a mommy to him. An openness to this adventure called life is important.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and good luck in your search.

Meet people from Menifee, United States. I want someone who will sit on the kitchen countertop or floor with me late at night and play that twist the oreo cookie war game to see who gets more filling on their cookie while asking and answering the really important life questions, knowing that at the end of each day there is no one else we'd rather be with than each other. (pssst...this is where you lean in and kiss me because you think I'm irresistably adorable!)
I desire a man who has a personal relationship with God who is grounded, compassionate, believes in and demonstrates grace, charming, affectionate, *FUN*, hopefully a little silly and playful, knows how to BANTER with a good sense of humor, family-oriented, has integrity & devotion to those in his life, can initiate & maintain deep and engaging conversations, can balance between being laid back and driven and can be open and vulnerable enough to express his emotions. Consistency is BIG to this girl, and your actions should match your words. I'm not looking for a "bad boy" anymore, but would love a good guy who has an "edge." I'd like to find a MAN who knows how to be a GUY...and if you "get" that, then you are probably one of them! Oh yeah, and if you sing in the car, you can roll with me!
I'm more of an east coast girl at heart. If you think my eyes sparkle now then surround me with the cold, mountains & snow and I am in my element more so than at the beach (although I do prefer the beach at night...especially if it includes a bonfire...and you!) I absolutely loooove good banter. My sense of humor is sarcastic & witty, but never cynical or condescending. I am usually an extrovert but at rare times can be slightly shy or guarded. I would rather speak words of affirmation than to tear someone down. I am loyal to my own detriment at times & will be your biggest cheerleader through the highs and lows of life. I may not be the life of the party, but I am probably best friends with them! I'm not necessarily "active" but I am very social. I love being outside at night under the moon & stars...wanna go for a walk? I definitely have my serious side and I'm an analytical thinker. I'm an absolute "ENFJ" and my "Love Languages" are in order - Words of Affirmation, Quality Time/Physical Touch/Affection, and Acts of Service. I am often told that I am "feisty" or "playful"...maybe goes along with being a flirt? hmmm....but come on, wouldn't you rather a girl who has some spirit in her? I'll buy a year's worth of red lipstick just so I can write "I LOVE YOU" messages on the bathroom mirror. I'll text you silly messages telling you where to meet me for a surprise night. I'll wrap my arms around you and give you sweet kisses while we wait in line for the movies. I'll set up a tent in the backyard for a camp-out under the moon and stars when you come home from work. If it's raining or cold, don't be surprised if the tent is in the middle of the living room! When walking by you I'll softly stroke my hand across your shoulders or back, and I'll run my fingers through your hair (or over your cute bald head) while we're driving somewhere. And if you teasingly antagonize me don't be surprised if I wrestle you to the ground!
I love just hanging out with good friends or family, dinner or movies - in or out, scenic drives, day trips, county fairs, sight-seeing, loooooove MUSIC of all kinds (it speaks to my heart). I like photography and even motocross...that's right, you heard me! Of course shopping, having get-togethers & BBQ's - or experiencing new adventures together! I enjoy a mixture of being busy doing things and having some good down-time at home, too. Curling up and cuddling on the couch with a good movie, popcorn and you is a requirement! If a girl can dream, I'd love to find my soul-mate who is also my best friend and build our own firepit.
