Loveeternal434, 59

Faithful Ultimately I'm looking for a best friend for the purpose of building a great, fulfilling and committed relationship.... the love of my life....but tiny steps first. I've been told my strengths are intelligence, compassion, creativity, friendship. I'm motivated by close connections with people. The kind of relationship I seek is one where I can feel comfortable sharing anything with my partner and my partner would feel the same with me. I'm attracted to people who endeavor to be straight up with how they feel, have backbone, opinions, tact, class, and still can focus on how to build people up rather than tear them down. That's how I like to be. I'm a giver, not a taker, but just as we want unconditional love, I've found unconditional respect is also an important ingredient to making a relationship work over the long haul. If the connection is there and you can make the time and the emotional investment, I will do my best to encourage you to be what you've always dreamed, to grow where you need to grow and you'll have a friend for life. It's important for me to believe in people, especially those close to me. I like fun, laughter, playfulness and silliness. I have a variety of interests and passions,dreams and a beautiful daughter. I value loyalty and a real capacity for kindness, passion and intimacy on many levels. Not into control, not looking for your money. On the downside, I'm a terrible speller so have to put up with that. I do have genuine love to give.
