| | Who am I?
I am an easy-going, fun-loving person - not much of a bar person, I would rather hang out with friends in the backyard with a bonfire going and have a few drinks. I love life and all that it has to offer - which doesn't mean I haven't had some hardship, we all have... it just means I am too stubborn to let it get the best of me.... so, yes, I have a very positive outlook on life. Ultimately, I desire to be in a long term relationship - a true partnership of equals.... someone who truly has a ZEST for life.
I live by one very simple rule -"What goes around, comes around."- If you treat others good, it will come back to you in kind. If you take that rule and apply it in every single way you can possibly imagine, you will have a full set of values..... want love? give it... want respect? give it... and so it goes. You have to know what you want in life though, and that requires knowing yourself.... and not allowing yourself to be walked upon. If you want love, honor and respect, you have to give it, yes..... but you have to give it to yourself first before you can truly give it to others....and eventually get it back in kind.
Who are You?
What am I looking for in a man? Someone who is similar to me in approach to life, obviously... but a few other things too. If you smoke, fine... but not fine if you leave your butts everywhere and you won't smoke in my house. Hopefully you have your own place, as I have two kids still at home, and I won't conduct a relationship in front of them, and it is too cold out now to go outside and talk, etc. I am allergic to cats... however, I enjoy dogs, as long as they are well behaved. Looks are not a big deal as long as you take care of yourself, because for me, it is more about your energy than your looks... and your level of comfort with yourself and your world. I have male, platonic friends, and if you have a problem with that - sorry, they are staying, they have always been there for me. I have always paid my own way, and expect you to do the same. I am looking for "inter-dependency" not "independency" - emotional support, not finanacial.
BTW - bonus points if you are a good cook - I hate cooking.
Personality traits we both have
I have two kids of three still at home - they are teens and are responsible young adults. If you have kids, excellent, as I am looking for someone who can understand that while they are still my responsibility, they do not take all of my time... and who is in a similar place in life. I am flexible, but not a pushover... I am intelligent, but not a "know-it-all".... I am understanding and compassionate, but not a doormat.... I am financially responsible, but not rich by any means..... I am loving and passionate, but do not let my passions control me. I can be outspoken when necessary, but am not "brutally honest" - the 'brutal' part is just an excuse for rudeness, in my opinion. I believe that a relationship takes a mix of friendship, understanding, patience, and communication in order for any kind of love or affection to grow. I know I can handle it - can you?
