What I am really looking for? My ideal match is charming, good with people and handles stressful situations with grace. He's filled with a friendly, positive energy and secretly might wonder why he's not famous yet. Chances are he doesn't get annoyed with people very easily, and he can handle stressful situations with grace. What makes him different from other men is that he prefers to be surrounded by safe, comfortable environments that tend to be risk-free. I need a man between the ages of 32 and 52 that wants an emotional connection with a very passionate woman. Not looking for a one night stand. I want to be in a committed relationship, but doesn't necessarily have to be marriage. I'm looking for companionship, a life partner, soul mate and best friend. I am a hopeful romantic that still wants to believe that there are men that understand old fashion values and have a need for passion and romance.
