Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Valley Springs, 38 year old

Date a man from Valley Springs, United States. Lets see ...Describe myself......well im pretty easy going most of the time , im sure we all have those days when things just dont seem to go right ....somtimes we can deal with it but other times it gets the best of us... I just try to live one day at a time and take life as it comes ...i admit i have made a few mistakes in my life , I think we all have , just look at it as a learning experence and keep moving on... I have many goals and dreams for my future and i figure even if i never reach them i have somthing to shoot for and at least i tried....I think my perfect match would be somone that can respect me for who i am and not what they think they can turn me into....I have been down that road of "If you really love me you would ....." and im not going there again... I spent to much of my life sacraficing who i am to try to make others happy and that wasn't fair to myself ( that doesn't sound selfish does it?)....Somone who is fairly independent and doesn't need to be attached at the hip and know every move i make at all times , but is secure in knowing that i will always be there whenever they need me...
