Date women from United States / Alabama / Brantley, 41 year old

Date a woman from United States. Always hate doing this type of thing... going to hit the high points... if you have a question ask.
I am an eclectic person who is usually willing to try new things. I like to go out just as much as I like to stay in. I have 3 children ranging from 9-13 and they are for right now my priority... I didn't have children for someone else to take care of or to be left to their own devices. I don't live my life for them but I am their mother and I take that very seriously.
I am an individual - I make up my own mind about things not just follow what everyone is saying or doing. I have no problem discussing views that are different than mine but I do not want them forced on me. My kids tell me all the time that I am not like other mothers... so if your looking for Donna Reed or the beaves' mom I am not the one for you. I follow my own drummer.
I like to think of my self as easy going but I am part Italian and I did get a passionate nature.
I can't stand to be attached at the hip. If we meet and there is a connection and if we get to the point that it is an exclusive relationship, then I am in it... if I didn't want to be there I wouldn't be so no over the top jealousy or constant interrogation.
I do have a physical type but have never dated someone who fit it. Personality and who you are inside is what counts to me. I have meet men that at first glance were drop dead gorgeous but once I got to know them better they became less attractive to me; conversely I have met not so attractive men and gotten to know them better and they have gotten more attractive to me.
A great sense of humor, someone who knows themselves well and what they want, has diverse interests, and who is not going to try to change me. If there is a spark we can take it from there. I like open minded people that can think outside of the box and whom actually think for themselves, not follow the pack.
I am currently separated on my way to a divorce.
