BethLou (35) from the Vale of Glamorgan

I'm a happy, confident, honest lady - can I still say young lady - when does middle age officially kick in? Going with the as young as you feel theory - a happy, confident, honest young lady. I've had a few knocks but firmly believe in what doesn't kill us makes us stronger and that when life doesn't quite go to plan it's always for a reason even if it takes years to work out what it is! Family motto in this house - nothing too hot or too heavy and keep the flag flying even if it's the white one.
I work full time as a Nursery teacher, a professional three year old, I love it! My most important job though is full time Mum to my daughter and boss to my faithful hound. The dog came along first, the daughter some time later. Both are treasures.
I spent 10 years training and working in England and came home to Wales 7 years ago. Originally a Swansea girl I'm now the proud owner of a loving rescued house in Barry. Being back by the sea still excites me.

Well clearly I'm looking for my knight in shining armour! Well, sort of but not really. I don't need any kind of rescuing, I'm no damsel in distress. In fact I'm probably quite fiesty but in a good way! Honesty is important to me, so is friendship. I'd like to meet someone who would enjoy the day to day stuff, not be put off by the grind that can be small children, someone who would smile at all the little things little people do. I would love to be swept off my feet now and again, I think it would be fair to say I'm looking for a gentleman who will treat me as a lady. I'm not high maintenance, I believe in treating people how I would like to be treated.
I work in a pretty much female environment and I'm done with the meeting people in bars scenario so thought this is a good place to start!
