well a little about myself. i consider myself to be pretty open minded. i am a attentive listener, an would love the type of friendship/relationship where we both express ourselves honestly an openly.I'm that independent black woman that keeps it real at all times. I'm a african american woman, Carmel complexion, light brown eyes, black hair,an you can see how thick i am.. I'm a very mature, trustworthy, intelligent, understanding, romantic, care free person. I have a spontaneous, humorous, passionate personality also a very good conversationalist. A slight mixture of aggressive passion. I have children, i am a smoker, no drugs, i do drink once in a while. I am very business oriented as well.My favorite pastime is reading, writing letters and poems, cooking, traveling, shopping, and gambling, pool, bowling. i'm more of a laid back woman after a long day. Seeking male friend or potential soul mate who will reciprocate my characteristics and goals, sharing dreams and endearing passionate intimacies.
