About me and who I'm looking for

About me:

I've been single for 15+ years. Dated a few times during that period but nothing developed. Most of the ladies I asked out were in a relationship, just coming out of one, or simply were not interested. After awhile I quit asking.

Being single is difficult (it’s not much fun either). Still, I’ve learned many valuable life lessons I might have missed had I been with someone these past 15+ years. I have more patience (always need more), and compassion; I am a much gentler and caring person. I’ve learned relationships cannot and should not be taken lightly. I also have a deeper sense of others feelings.
I love to laugh and have the ability to make others laugh. I play guitar and sing, love animals (2 cats, 1 dog), love the elderly and children, spring and fall weather.

I'm looking for:

The one I seek is an encourager who realizes there is a difference between nurturing and nagging. One who will encourage me to try things that I've never done before, one who is affectionate and isn't embarrassed by public displays of affection (within reason), one who manages money well (something I’m terrible at - I try, honest I do!), one who realizes we have much to learn from each other. I believe for two people to have a successful relationship they must be best friends. There will be times when being friends will be most important for there will be times when both question their love for one another. To nurture the friendship is to nurture the love relationship.
