Currently, I work for an environmental engineering and consulting firm in Columbia, SC and live in NE Columbia.
I am a fun-loving, intelligent, witty, single Mommy. I'm playful/have a great sense of humor, but can be very serious and reserved at times (depending on the day and the situation. I have cheerleader tendencies (I am capable of being your biggest fan, fluffing your ego and offering various forms of encouragement when situations become challenging). I enjoy movies, reading books (and being read to), sports (I played soccer for 14 years and have been known to play flag/tag football), cars (and car shows), art museums (actually museums in general), traveling and going to the park.
I am generally an easy person to get along with I can be feisty and quite competitive at times. I am not particularly shy, I am fairly out going and very up front about pretty much every thing (if you ask me my opinion on thing I will definitely tell you, so I hope your feelings aren't easily hurt. I think little things (unique gestures and actions..paying attention to details) mean a lot more than easily accessible/pre-packaged items.
Some of my favorites are…the color red, seafood, pretty raw steak, strawberries, flowers, and men who behave like gentlemen (not cursing, opening the doors for women, "yes sir/ma'am", etc. I like to draw and paint; I can cook and give marvelous massages.
And yes-I am 4'11 barefoot, but I tend to wear heels so that puts me at 5'3/5'4 depending on the heels and the occasion ;^)
FYI/Quick FAQs:
I know my profile is really, really long...there is a reason for that.
I really do not love repeating myself in anyway (and if I by chance ask you for your time and you are not available, I will not duplicate the request; my general thought is, if/when you are available you will let me know).
Yes, I do date outside of my race. I don't have a specific preference of skin color or race-my attraction to a man depends upon the character and personality of the man. I would hope to be considered the same way.
Yes, I do date tall men (this includes men over 6 ft tall-I do realize this means w/out shoes or in low heels, the man will be potentially over a foot taller than me).
Yes, I can be spontaneous, but spontaneous affection towards strangers..sight unseen, voice unheard...just random online guys..hmMm not so much (this also generally covers and is applicable to "staying with me/spending the night, etc" on the day/night that we meet.
Yes, I do enjoy a great massage..however, if you aggressively suggest and then insistently attempt "to give me a massage"...then it's no good (refer to the previous "yes.." statement).
