I'm seeking a committed relationship with a great guy, but I'm in no rush to get heavy just yet, nor am I looking for a rebound. On the other hand, I'm certainly not going to send Mr. Right packing if I meet him, but really friends first. Right now I'm really committing to myself and need to before I dive headlong into a new relationship. I'm excited about meeting new people, establishing new friendships and seeing where it goes. No pressure, just relaxed and casual. [/B][/SIZE]

My Ideal Person It's very important to me that I find someone who I share many common interests and values with, and this person has to challenge me in a positive way. He needs to make me laugh without effort. I want to be inspired, and I equally want to inspire my partner. What I'm hoping to find is a natural connection, an easy comfort, a friend before anything else.
I need mutual respect, trust and honesty. I know, everyone here looks for that, but who out there really wants to give it in return? I believe that you really have to have self-love and self-respect in order to love and committ to another person in a healthy way. Arrogance and narcissism, on the other hand, are not attractive features, nor do they breed healthy relationships.
I'm a very giving person (so I've been told, and I really do believe that about myself), and I'd love to find a man to treat like a king, a man who is deserving of all that I have to give. But he needs to be equally as giving, and quite frankly, I want to be treated like a queen (no, I'm not that high maintenance, stop running, come back...really it's the little things with me that matter).
Physical attraction is important to me, but I've found many a beautiful person on the outside who is ugly on the inside. With that said though, I do need to feel a physical attraction to my partner if I'm in an intimate relationship.
So if any of this grabs your attention or strikes a chord within you, write me and see where it takes us. Thanks for reading and best of luck to you in your search. Oh, and if you're interested in getting to know me, please email me. I pay very little attention to winks - if you want me to show you interest, please put some effort into earning it.
