Finding that connection is one of the most important things that I look for in any relationship. Sometimes you just "click" with another person. You might not know how or why, but you take eachother to a higher level and you feel a greater understanding because of it. That's what I am looking for.

I want to be with someone who isn't afraid to stay up late together, but also understands the importance of getting up early in the morning. He needs to like spending time under the sun and also under the stars. I am looking for someone to hold my hand when we walk together, but also understands that time apart is essential. He absolutely must understand the importance of family.

I want someone who will take me on spontaneous adventures but who also understands and respects my need to plan things out in as much detail as possible. He should be able to laugh at himself as well as laugh with those around him. I want someone who will listen to me and respond with genuine interest. I am looking for someone who keeps their word...if you say you are going to do something, then do it!

And here are a few things about me:
I am a very generous and genuine person. My smile is contagious...I cannot begin to count how many people have asked me why I smile all the time. I have a heart of gold that has been broken in the past, but I have picked up the pieces and am ready to try again. My family is my number one priority. I consider myself to be a very independent person, but I also understand and cherish the role of being in a relationship. I am honest and compassionate, practical and easy going. I am dependable but not predictable...you never know when I'm going to suprise you.

So go ahead and send me a message! Don't be shy...I love meeting new people!

Our first date would be doing something that we decided upon together so that we could both be as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
