My desires in a relationship are hopefully the same as yours: that we both graciously offer each other our friendship, we are both "emotionally available and generous", and are giving and kind (especially when we disagree). We resist narrow-minded thinking and seek multiple viewpoints. We are in touch with our feelings and know how to positively show our emotion and passion. Above all, we value respect, morals, ethics, and character. We believe strongly in being loyal, and have, at least most of the time, an even temper. We realize that one of the most important characteristics we share is the ability to still be kind and loving with each other when things aren't really going so well all around us, not just when we first meet and everything is hunky-dory. I am looking for a man that likes to be close physically, hold hands, kiss, and everything that comes with intimacy. Someone that I will be extremely comfortable with in ALL situations (casual and formal, in crowds or just the two of us). I want us to be a team in all respects, there for each other. Hope this makes sense. I just want to be with that special partner that will fill in the spaces between my fingers.I am very realistic and realize that no one is perfect. Following through is vital, someone who will call when they say they will.Yes, love is hard, but it shouldn't be that hard. We appreciate each other’s good qualities and can laugh at each other’s bad qualities. Respect is huge - because if you don't respect someone, you're going to try and change them - and if you're trying to change someone, you shouldn't be in a relationship with them. I am only looking for the one, not interested in serial dating, my goal on here is to find a life partner.
