Date women from United States / Alabama / Gadsden, 38 year old - page 2

Date a woman from United States. "Are you stong enough to be my man?"
I'm usually the one to be overlooked - I think it's due to my height!
I'm old-fashioned - I believe in being asked out, not having to do the asking. I'm not so old-fashioned, though, that I want to be treated as the weaker sex - I make my own money & take care of myself, but I will let you open a door for me.
I'm looking for someone that understands that & can be OK with it.
I'm still somewhat tettering on the kids "thing" - BUT I would like to know that I'm with someone who is OK with the idea of having at least one.
Smoking is a complete turnoff, so if you smoke, or are trying to quit, please keep going. Yes, I have friends that smoke, but I don't want to date & possibly marry someone that smokes - I can at least leave my friends house, I don't want to live with it.
I'm not perfect in any way, but I do try everyday to be the best possible person I can be. I want someone that accepts that.
My family is not close & I don't want a repeat of that with my own family. I want a family - MY FAMILY - to talk TO each other, not AT each other. I want someone that makes me feel included - not on the outside looking in.
