Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. I have a lot of diverse interests. I have always been very active in my daughter's life, but she is getting ready to leave home to attend college in the fall. I don't have time for head games, and I refuse to play them. What you see is what you get with me. I take great pleasure in giving to others. My daughter is the light of my life and is definitely the best thing I've ever accomplished. Chemistry is important, but having a best friend in a relationship is just as important because eventually the chemistry does fade to a degree. I am romantic, affectionate, sensual, sexual and can be your best friend. I want someone who can appreciate those attributes. I like to spoil and be spoiled, love to laugh and have fun. I love unconditionally and want the same in return. I am fiercely loyal and protective of those I love and care about. I am firm in my convictions. I know what I want and won't settle for less. Communication is key to any relationship -- be it wants, desires, successes, failures, problems, etc. Spontaneity and great sex are the spice of life. My ideal guy is someone who will accept me for who I am. He will put effort into the relationship. He is romantic, funny, intelligent, loves to travel, and unafraid to try new things. One thing I will not tolerate is someone who lies. My daughter comes first in my life, and my ideal guy will understand and accept that fact. He will want to spend time with me and my daughter, but will appreciate and understand that I also need time for myself. I am looking for a relationship, but also believe that marriage is not absolutely necessary. If it's not broke, don't fix it. I would like someone to share life with, share new experiences, have fun, and bring out the best in one another. Despite love lost, I still believe love exists. It just has to be given a chance.
