My introduction

Ok so how to be original? After reading so many profiles I’m wondering if everyone is just copying and pasting :-) Anyway, I am a strong woman who is at a point in my life where I don’t “need” a man but would love a man to compliment my life. I miss the physical and emotional parts of a relationship. I miss hugging, kissing, snuggling, having butterflies in my belly, being excited to see/come home to someone I love. I am a single mom of a beautiful 5yo daughter who I have put my heart and soul into raising, and as hard as it is, I absolutely love being her mom! Since I enjoy spending time with her watching her learn and explore her world, I am looking for a family-oriented man who likes to do things together as a family. We love the beach/lake, zoo, roller skating, camping/bbq‘s, fishing, bike riding, skiing, snow tubing, skating, going for walks, darts, bowling, reading, dancing, country music, the Sox and Patriots. It is very important to me that my partner be my best friend, one that I can laugh with, cry with, talk for hours with, raise children with and who is committed to a long lasting relationship. I am a hopeless romantic and believe in SHOWING the person you love that you love them. I love to do things to surprise you like leaving a love note in your lunch bag,waiting for you in to come in from work having your favorite dinner ready, calling to say "I'm thinking of you, miss you, etc....". Please have a picture to share, something to say in your profile, be ready to put the time and effort in getting to know each other and be a non-smoker. I'd like to be able to talk/text regularly to get to know one another, not looking to rush things but also don't want to be only able to chat once in awhile since that just delays the getting to know you process. Let me know if this sounds good to you! Let the Fun Begin!!!
