Dating, personal taste in a woman, and what I seek ..... ( Archived) (2)

Everyone here has thier own personal taste in what they like in a partner. What are yours? Recently I had met the woman of my dreams, pear shaped, smart, a little sassy. I like being open with each other, and trying just about everything at least once with the right person. She was the kindest woman I think I'd ever met, was into the same things I was, and the relationship started off grand. I like women that are smaller on top, and bigger on the bottom, but not huge, and tend to prefer them a little shorter than I. She and I could have owned the world together I think. She was ambitious, and very accepting of my health issues. I have to be honest, I fell in love with her almost immeadiately, and have never felt so close to anyone. I would like someone extremely similar in my life, I think ultimately I had found the one time thing and lost it. Unfortunately, I have a number of financial issues I'm working on, I told her about them right away. She is my soulmate, and she says it's so also. We are just friends now, I'm retired due to a heart condition, and don't own the best of everything, and can't afford to do allot of things at the moment. All of this will change in the near future, but it wasn't soon enough, and created allot of extraneous stress that a relationship doesn't need. I can't provide a stable bank account due to my health, but I am a stable person. I can't offer the security I could have five years ago nor the income. And I have found that's what a woman wants. If I had the power to change things at the moment I would, and wind the clock back, a month or two ago and make things better I would. I need someone whose very accepting, and patient in my life, and have never come closer. At first I wasn't going to try dating any more, then my kids talked me into trying again. They think there's someone like the person that passed through, who doesn't worry as much, and would find me a good catch despite the things I've gone through, and am continuing to go through. So here I am.
