I consider myself very successful. I have a great life. I love my job, my friends, etc. etc. I have gotten almost everything I want out of life, with the exception of love. It' is now my goal to make that as big of a priority as I have everything else. I want to meet someone who likes their own independance and alone time but can meet me in the middle for downtime. I'm not looking to fall into a new world and "ready made" relationship, but someone I can get to know, fall in love with, and build a real friendship with. I'm really just looking for my "best friend". I work a lot... and in my downtime, I still need to make time for all of the people I love, family, friends, etc. I want a good foundation of comman interests but also the mutual respect to let each other explore our own passions and goals. And my biggest must... I loose interest almost immediately if I am not laughing. I love to laugh, I love to smile, and I love to be affectionate if you are mine:)
