Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Valdez, 39 year old

Date someone special from Valdez, United States. Why I am here…. Mummm let’s see. I seem to have trouble starting conversations with people I don't know. I also live in a small town with a smallish social circle. My friends have said I am shy and reserved when I first meet someone but they have also said that once I know you I will speak my mind and you will know it. Ninety percent of the time I am casual with little or no make-up, however, the other ten percent I like the opportunity to get dressed up and go out.
What am I looking for….? I guess this is where I get to make my fantasy list, right? Ha Ha.
But seriously I am just looking for someone to hang out with. Someone who would be willing to sharpen the kitchen knives for me, not because I canРІР‚в„ўt do I but because I donРІР‚в„ўt like to and knows it needs to be done.
I also like to traveling (everybody says that, don't they?) and camping and I try to look for new adventures.
For the last 3 plus years I have been on this grand adventure called parenting and am surprised at the fun I am having with it.
