To that end, I'm seeking a man who does not judge a person on their physical size but rather on the real person inside. I am kind, loyal, empathetic and passionate, and I have much to offer the right man. I believe in magic ...

i would simply like to meet at a cozy coffee house or cafe, where we can openly talk and get to know one another's personality traits, likes, dislikes, family dynamics, etc.
