Tinkers, 44

Brunettes do it better! My personality is pretty easy going. I make friends fairly easily and like to have fun. I'm a single mother, a college student, and working as much as I can to get the bills paid. My son is my life, so all of my energies are centered around him. I will say that am a social drinker but since that's not really my scene, I really don't spend a lot of time with a drink in my hand. I'm incredibly open-minded; laid-back; social; funny; sarcastic; I am the counselor for friends; I make people smile. I'm a tease, a flirt at times, and I like to get my way. I'm stubborn; fiercely independent but I can't help liking being spoiled; I'm shy but like to get attention at the same time; I'm sensitive; a procrastinator; a perfectionist; I'm picky; intelligent; helpful; I'm quiet, but loud when I'm either drunk or with my friends; I have issues with trust; I don't like fake people, be real with me or move on. I am usually the shoulder to cry on and the rational thinker.

So what should you be? Well personal hygiene is a requirement, I love a man that smells good. Not necessarily cologne-good, just clean-good. Funny, sweet, thoughtful, caring, honest, trustworthy... all the usual stuff. Ideally, someone between 28 and 36 falls into my acceptable category. Any guy I date must be as open-minded as I am. He must like kids, since I have a son, as well as being family-oriented. I want someone I can take to family functions or out with friends who can make conversation and not just sit and be bored the whole time. You don't have to be everyone's best friend, just polite and carry on a conversation. A guy who is good with his hands, or at least intelligent enough to try. I'm not saying you have to be able to build a house, but being able to maintain what's yours is a plus. These are merely guidelines of that I look for, and their not written in stone. Everything is open to compromise.
