About me and who I'm looking for

About me:

A little about me…I seem to have a difficult time meeting quality men, and friends have been telling me to try this online thing for years. I am ready to find a long term relationship with potential to turn into a permanent relationship…so I figured it would not hurt to check this out. I am looking for a guy that is perfect for me…not a guy who is “perfect.” I love romance and affection. I do not consider myself to be high maintenance. I can have fun going out, but I also enjoy putting on some comfy clothes, ordering a pizza, and watching a movie at home with my partner. I enjoy spending time with my partner, but I also need time to myself. I am an ambitious young woman. I am independent and self-confident. I am strong willed, and need a man who is not easily intimidated by a woman like me. I believe I have a pretty good sense of humor…I can handle myself, and I need to be with someone who can take my teasing, because I will dish it right back out to those who may tease me. I am normally considered introspective, thorough, and accurate. I tend to be analytical and creative in my thinking and action. I can be quiet and reserved, and I express myself in a factual, direct and succinct manner. I can take life seriously at times, so I need a man who will help me to relax and have more fun. I sometimes do things that do scare me to overcome the fear. (I took flying lessons, have two diving certifications so far, and I plan on becoming certified for cave diving in the future.) I am considered a “Director” first, and a “Builder” second, according to Dr. Helen Fisher’s test.

Currently I am living with my Mother. She was recently diagnosed with cancer, so I am with her to help, but as everyone keeps telling me, I still need to take care of myself in order to do this, and I believe part of taking care of myself is finding a great guy to live my life with.

If you have a question, just ask.

I'm looking for:

My ideal man…
My best friend…someone who I want, and wants me, in the good times and the bad…someone who I feel passionate about, and who I feel is passionate towards me too.
Must be intelligent...someone I can talk to…someone who can become my best friend. I don’t mean to come across as judgmental, but intelligence is the most important requirement I have for a partner.
Single and straight (do not contact me if you are attached, or even just separated). Within 10 years of my age…younger or older.
Taller than me, with a bigger teddy bear type build. I like a man who is strong physically and emotionally…but is not afraid to show me his weaknesses.
Must love to cuddle. Must be open minded.
A man who wants to be a father one day. I want a big family eventually. Open to adoption too! My ideal man must want to be a very involved father.
Open minded.
Funny…and playful.
Willingness to tell me when I am full of crap. I don’t want someone who is just willing to deal with me, even when I am being a b****.
Faithful.
Affectionate…and flirtatious.
Accepts me…the good and the bad.
Direct, and honest.
Is not intimidated by a strong, independent woman.
Secure in who he is.
Has a variety of interests…and willing to try new things, like scuba diving.
Adventurous.
A guy who continues to remind me how he feels about me, and is not embarrassed to hear how I feel about him.
Someone who does not feel like he “has” to get married…but thinks he might want to get married one day.
Someone who feels commitment, honesty, and faithfulness is important.
Must be disease free, a non-smoker, and no drugs.
Must like cats and dogs. I have cats, and I do want dogs one day.

Men…I am only interested in finding a lasting, exclusive relationship. This may not be the best way to meet someone…but finding a partner is not easy anyway you try.
