Celestenyc, 53

-------, intelligent, honest and introspective woman would describe myself as a -------, intelligent, honest and introspective woman who is as ambitious in her career as she is passionate in her relationships. I am well educated (MBA) and work as a mangement consultant. I am 5'2 with a medium feminine build. I love foreign languages and cultures and enjoy traveling

In the past I have tended to date Europeans (but you don't need to be) because I find them to be passionate, affectionate and appreciative of the meaningful things in life. I am looking for my soulmate - a best friend, a companion, a lover, someone who can laugh with me, stay up until the wee hours of the morning talking philosophy, literature, art, whatever, and making love in- between. Being in synch intellectually, se---lly, and emotionally are all necessary ingredients for me in a relationship.

My Ideal Mate should be intelligent, professional, ambitious, financially and emotionally stable, kind, -------. He should be giving with his affection and equally willing to receive affection back. He should understand women (to the extent possible) and know how to appreciate their complexity. He should have been in love before (at least once) and know how to give and receive love. He should be in a place in his life where he is looking for "the one" instead of a fling, adventure, or tryst. HE SHOULD BE EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE. He should be ambitious and career-oriented, but not at the expense of all else. He should be introspective and intouch with his emotions. He should have a deep sense of self and be able to recognize what he wants and what he does not. He should be a good person with a good heart
