Date women from United States / California / Petaluma, 44 year old

Date someone special from Petaluma, United States. Oh, youРІР‚в„ўre here.. I must have passed the "first picture" test. Did you know studies show that the average user spends 2. 5 seconds reading a profile. See, I have you intrigued already don't I? Keep reading...I'm stalling for time...alright, that's about 3 seconds.
So.....do you ever sit there wondering what to write? LetРІР‚в„ўs see, how do I sell myself to someone I have never met before. How can I be charming and witty so that my whole evaluation is not determined by 3 pictures? How do I show someone that I am different than all the rest out there? I can tell him I am cute but unless he is blind, he will be able to form his own opinion of my looks. I can tell him I'm intelligent and then continually misspell words and fragment sentences. I can tell that him I am successful but success is measured in so many different ways.
I could tell you all the usual stuff like that I'm fun, independent, have a job etc... but this is not a job interview. We are all here looking to meet someone. Hoping to make that "connection" and see where it leads. I'm not into games (unless its a true sport); limited drama and baggage (we all have a little).
What I'm looking for? I would like to find someone local who also has a busy schedule, but can find time to go to dinner, movies, a ball game, etc. every now and then. I'm a single parent most of the time, so if you have kids, then even better, as you understand the need to juggle schedules and priorities (kids being #1).
If any of this resonates with you, feel free to drop me a message. Selling yourself in 3000 characters or less is a challenge. I know that there is so much more to me than a profile.
Thanks for stopping by..

Meet a soulmate from Petaluma, United States. I love slowly devouring The New Yorker, the sun on my face, the smell outside after it rains, and laughing hard. I find myself attracted to kind, funny, and witty people, and I think men who are caring and considerate are sexy! I love people watching and learning all about others - I actually think I'd be a great CIA agent :) Another true confession: I don't always use my turn signal - my cousin tells me this is not ok...? Also, I can't lie to save my life - and I don't expect I'll ever need to...I live my life with integrity which means I sleep great at night. I believe in the power of a smile and laughter and I believe in being nice to others. I love enjoying myself and having fun; I value honesty and integrity. Getting up each morning and enjoying a good cup of coffee inspires me. I am totally devoted to my great network of family and friends, and I make them a priority. I have an amazing job educating teens, and every day is fresh and exciting. I am outdoors as often as possible, and I know how to enjoy myself - wherever I am. I was raised in a happy, loving home and the one I have created with my daughter is the same kind. I'm looking for a guy with a great laugh, enthusiasm, and an easy kindness. While it'd be great to meet someone else who has a kid, my real priority is finding someone who wants to be part of a loving, joyful, and mutually supportive relationship: a man who is both strong and sensitive. I'm looking for the real deal here: a best friend,a soulmate, and some wicked chemistry - all roled into one.
You game?!

Date a woman from Petaluma, United States. IРІР‚в„ўm happy with my life and love my family and friends.
