I am a 32 y/o former teacher who is now pursuing a career as a Registered Nurse. I have two children (girl and boy) who are my absolute everything. I am recently divorced, but ready to move on to the next chapter in my life.
I am seeking a down-to-earth lady who enjoys both the finer and simpler things in life. I don't smoke or drink, and I would like those same qualities in the lady I date. I don't mind mild social drinking, but definitely no smokers, please. She would have to like a guy who enjoys talking to her and trying hard to make her happy. I would like someone who is independent, but not to the point of being extreme. I'm not bad looking, and looks are important to me, but not nearly as important as a person's heart, personality, and character. And finally, I want someone who also wants to make me happy and is interested in finding out what makes me feel comfortable, loved, needed and respected.
