looking for friends and more...to meet a "lady"...a companion... best friend...and lover...a true partner...someone to complement me (as opposed to complete me)...FYI - Swansea (Belleville), IL is in the St Louis metro area.

expectations...at this point in life we've had many experiences that shape and define who we are, so it's up to us - our choice - to be accepting of a mates qualities and characteristics...or not. Simple huh...so it's not about who I'd like you to be, it's about who you are and what parts of that appeal to me.

So, are you fit and attractive..., are you a confident, secure, self-sufficient, and independent woman who enjoys the company of a straight-forward gentleman...are you open to new and varied experiences...happy with life...can you value the quality of our time together as opposed to merely the quantity of time. If you are in search of a great friend, companion, and lover...drop me a note

My profile states that I'm looking for "dating"...simply because we have to start at the beginning - all else grows from there as the relationship matures and defines itself. So first date...what would be your pleasure?
