I am a straightforward guy who will speak my mind without being cruel, and who hopes the person I date will reciprocate. I don't enjoy trying to guess what people are thinking or feeling-I would much rather hear it from them. Im a big communicator and thrive on the mutual expression of feelings and perspective-knowing that these things change on a daily basis. I don't need someone to be overly dependent on me and vice versa. I want to be there to support my partner in all of their endeavors no matter how big or small. Now all that said the most important quality im looking for in a significant other is one who does not take themselves too seriously. Don't sweat the small stuff...and by the way, its all small stuff ;)
