I am going to be up front and honest about something right now - I am not interested in any kind of brief fling, or anything without a future in it. I enjoy the simple things in life, as well as in my relationships. There's a lot to be said about those older couples you see in the park, still walking hand-in-hand, even after 30 years together. Snuggling on the couch while watching a movie, without any expectations of what may happen dampening the moment is priceless. A soft kiss on the forehead given for no reason other than to say, 'You're amazing'....those moments can take your breath away. That being said, I don't see why so many people try to rush pass the simple, precious moments and jump right into the meaningless, fleeting ones.
I am by no means perfect, but I also never claim or try to be. Over the past year I have gone through a lot of transitions, and I now find myself at a point where my life is revolving too much around things that make me feel secure, but that also leave me wanting something more. I have a great apartment, amazing friends, my dream job, a fabulous family, and I recently bought my first ever brand new car. I am independent and don't need anybody else to take care of me. However, I find myself missing certain things that bring out those warm fuzzy feelings.
I am not looking for someone to take care of me - I can take care of myself. I just want the things that I've never had before....Mutual attraction, intellectual stimulation; someone who knows when to be serious, and when to be goofy; someone who loves animals, kids, and the outdoors; someone who challenges me to continue to strive to be the best person I can be; someone who believes in me, and whom I can believe in in return; someone who gets along with my friends, family, and dogs; someone who understand my quirks and can appreciate them.....there are other things I am hoping for, but I'm not going to list them all here....just know that I am never going to ask for anything that I would not be willing to reciprocate...
The most important thing to me is that I find someone who is willing to take things slow and let them truly develop, regardless of the long term outcome.
There is a lot about me worth knowing. I hope you take the time to find out....
