I'm a nurse by trade. It had helped teach me what I want from a man and what I want to give. I've learned that the outside can look like a dream, but the inside makes dreams come true.
I'm something of an intellectual but that came from being raised in a blue collar working family so I went to college, a lot, to get a chance to better myself. I never forgot where I came from and have learned that some of the most amazing and intelligent people I've met have never set foot in college. Sometimes that intimidates men about me and I am in no way an academic snob. I love learning about almost anything. Maybe taxidermy would be the limit. :)I love life and want someone that is confident and has made a life for himself, has his own life and doesn't live with Mommy and Daddy permanently and knows what he wants and will not hesitate to tell me.
I have also learned that this is sometimes a hard way of getting to know someone. I am way too trusting and I will now admit that I am not so eager to rush into a serious relationship. I need time to adjust to a pace that's comfortable for both of us. I'm the kind of person that tries to be reciprocal and considerate. I appreciate the little things. Remembering to call when you promised, even if you're too busy to talk. I'm understanding about things like that. It goes both ways. As a nurse I've been four hours late getting home and it wasn't because I was out having fun! If a man wants to make me a priority and treats me like one and the chemistry is there, then it's easier to set the pace like adults. Consideration is such an easy way to impress me, but it seems like it's almost impossible to find someone willing to give it. I have a lot to give, and a lot to offer, but I'm not desperate. I've been alone most of my life and it's not that I can't live without someone. It's that I've decided I want to share so many things with someone special.
