You’ve seen my picture, so now for the rest. Here are a few of the things that I have to offer in a relationship.

I am:
• Someone who enjoys being introduced to new places, people and things
• A person who likes to travel (I think. I haven’t done much of it!)
• A loving companion who enjoys working with my partner as a team
• Independent, (and yet OH SO FAR AWAY from being a feminist)
• A bit on the “old school” side in some ways (I will enjoy taking care of you and will also enjoy being taken care of BY you from time to time)
• A person with a great sense of humor who is not easily offended (bring it on!)
• Honest, even when it is tough, (and will do my level best to be nice about it!)
• A monogamist (I will only have eyes for you)
• A snuggler (nothing better than getting cozy)
• A fun-loving person who laughs easily
• Compassionate to a fault
• An individual who would stop at nothing to support her family and friends
• A person who has her life secure financially, emotionally and spiritually
• Someone who makes every effort to pick my battles carefully
• Someone with integrity, a big heart and a generous spirit
• A soft place for you to fall at the end of a difficult day (or week, or month…)

What I am looking for:
• Someone with most, if not all of the same characteristics as I mentioned above (Most important ones are honesty, integrity, easy to laugh and ability to feel compassion)
• Someone that, when you hold me in your arms, I will feel warm, safe, secure…and cherished

Now, having said all of those “nice” things, please be assured that I am not a saint nor am I looking for one. :)

Last, but not least, I'm pretty sure that most of you would not contact anyone if they didn't have their pictures posted, so....please don't count on me to reply to your messages if you haven't posted your picture. It makes me wonder what you have to hide.

*By the way, my profile picture was taken in July of this year*

I am open for anything (almost) for a first date. Something creative is certainly ok, and at the same time, I also enjoy simply meeting for coffee or a stroll at the beach...that way, we will be able to get to know each other.
