I look forward to spending time with someone who is willing to give as good as he gets. Being able to laugh over the smallest issues is important...sometimes that's all you have. At this point in my life, I've come to realize that there are many things that I will never experience. Many doors are closed and for that very reason I am going to race through each and every door that remains open at every opportunity. I want to spend time with someone who has gotten past the jealousies and insecurities of our youth...and is mature enough to know what's important in life. To me...that is family, friends, social times, and moments alone. My partner has to know that playing is as much fun now as ever. Make me think, make me work hard to keep up...following can be as rewarding as leading. Help me find answers and solutions, prove me wrong, and allow me the wonderful gift of laughing at myself. Successful relationships require hard work and sacrifices, yet without these efforts, how can we feel pride in being and staying a couple year after year? Be yourself, because that's who I will be to you from the first moment. No changes or surprises.
