.. * I have a wonderful 17 year old daughter. *I'm gonna brag about my daughter a little here. *She is going into her senior year at one of the best high schools in the City *she is a second degree black belt in tae kwon do, having trained and worked very hard for many years to achieve that goal *she has been co-captain of her school's varsity bowling team for the past two years *her freshman year, she was the ONLY freshman to make sectionals *there is no reason to believe she won't be co-captain again this year *she also plays for the school's varsity soccer team *she's also on the JV tennis team, hoping to get bumped up to the varsity level this year *she sings in our church choir *she very unselfishly gives up her entire summer vacation to work with my sister in a school for physically handicapped children, where she has received more praise over the past five years than anybody I know of *she has aspirations to attend Vanderbilt University in the fall of 2009, majoring in neuroscience *I've never seen her back down or quit anything "because it was too hard". The more difficult the task, the harder she works *she has only missed one day of school in the past 10 years, and that will most likely stay the case through her senior year*now about me:* I am a single parent, and love my daughter more than anything else in the world. * I work full time for a law firm downtown, and have been there for 22 years * I'm generally a happy person and happy with my life and circumstances. However, there is one thing missing in my life right now. * I'm recently single, having just had an almost three year relationship come to an end. * I hate being alone, but am starting to have trust issues. * I'm looking for a man who will love and accept me for who and what I am. * I'm low maintenance, and able to take care of myself. * I own my own house and make most of the repairs necessary here by myself or with the help of my father. * Because of recent events in my life, I am finding it more and more difficult to trust and open up to people. * Don't take that to mean that I'm not interested, just that I'm moving very slowly and carefully. * If I talk to you, I'm interested. * If I back away, push a little harder, I'm probably still interested, just a little afraid of getting too close for fear of getting hurt again. * I'm not afraid to love, just of getting hurt again. * Yes, I did love him, and yes, I still do. For me, love doesn't just disappear overnight. Falling in love takes time, so does falling out of love. * Once again, that doesn't mean that I'm not looking for someone new, just that he's still there, in the back of my mind, haunting me. * I don't need a man to make me happy though. I have plenty of friends and family for that. * However, having a man around is pleasant, and does eliminate a lot of the lonliness. * I'd never hurt anyone intentionally. Being mean spirited and/or hurtful just isn't my style. I'm usually the one getting hurt, not doing the hurting. * My interests are wide and varied, and include, reading, all kinds of music from country to heavy metal to classic rock, to old time rock and roll, concerts, festivals, football, hockey, NASCAR, shopping, zoos, animals, walking on the beach, a trip to the Erie Basin Marina, Niagara Falls, Letchworth State Park, just about anything at any time. * Staying home and enoying my backyard, pool and family are also great ways to spend time. * If you want to know more, drop me a note. * I love meeting and getting to know new people. * You can never have too many friends.
