First off, I'm only interested in a true gentleman (nice, pleasant, honest, and respectful). Also, someone who has zest for life, and must be only interested in the real kind of "in love" everlasting relationship with that "one" special person. Yes, my profile is REAL so please be honest in my world (100% of the time would be great)...it's really not that hard to live this way, and it would be the only way to be if you want me to be into you. I am a nice person, but choose not to tolerate any BS so please be kind. Anyway, I never been truly in love; never met the right one, although thought I did once--in & out of love. I admit I was naive, and just settled. I'm attractive (above average), not overweight, and Italian & German. People say I look "somewhat" like Julia Roberts. I'm content with myself, a positive person, and make the best of any situation. I'm basically a happy person, but I can be happier with the right one--you should be too so you can positively, participate and share yourself in a relationship. Please, no babies which means NO: tantrums, spitefulness, anger problems, mood swings, or helplessness (not cool). I just prefer a pleasant, drama free life (so no drama kings); a relationship is supposed to enhance your life not create chaos. I'm not high maintenance, or a material girl. I have an adult daughter whom lives out of my home. I'm not seeking someone perfect, but rather someone right for me. The following would be my DREAM GUY, and I know it's like finding a rare gem, but here it is...what the hell. I have all of the following qualities too, except my height is less: SEEKING A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP ONLY/THE RIGHT ONE TO SHARE THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH, OPTIMISTIC, DECENT, NO GAMES, NOT MARRIED/NOT ENGAGED/NOT SEEING ANYONE/NOT LIVING WITH ANYONE YOU'VE BEEN WITH OR FEMALE FRIENDS, FAITHFUL/NO EXES ENGAGED IN YOUR LIFE/MONOGAMOUS (a one-on-one relationship), GOOD PERSONALITY (can carry on a conversation), VALUES/MORALS/TRADITIONAL, RESPECTFUL (treat one as you want to be treated like I do), HONEST/TRUSTWORTHY, UPFRONT/DIRECT, RELIABLE/KEEPING YOUR WORD, GREAT COMMUNICATION SKILLS (an attentive listener), LIVING FULLY IN THE MOMENT (at least while we are in the dating process), HAVE COMMON SENSE, INTELLIGENT (don't have to have a degree), CONFIDENT, NOT NEEDY/SMOTHERING (you want a mate, but do not need one), INDEPENDENT/SELF-SUFFICIENT, KIND/EASYGOING, NOT MEAN/SHORT-FUSED, WHEN YOU ARE WRONG HAVE NO PROBLEM ADMITTING SO, OPEN-MINDED/NOT STUBBORN, A LOGICAL THINKER, NOT COLD, NOT ARROGANT, NO HUGE EGO, AFFECTIONATE, PASSIONATE, CARING, A GIVER, A SENSE OF HUMOR, FUN (young-at-heart), NOT RECKLESS/CLUMSY, not sarcastic, NOT OVERLY JEALOUS, NOT A CONTROL FREAK, NO MENTAL PROBLEMS, not broke/debt, ATTRACTIVE (above average), CAUCASIAN, NOT UNDER/OVERWEIGHT nor over sized muscles nor beer belly, 5'8" to 6', NICE HAIR (prefer no gray/white hair), kept groomed (no beard/mustache), no excessive body hair or tattoos, NICE SMILE/TEETH, NON SMOKER, NON DRUG USER, NON ALCOHOLIC, NO DISEASES, NON SNORER (no sleeping disorder), GREAT IN BED/NO SEXUAL PROBLEMS, HAVE STAMINA, HEALTHY, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF (inside/out), good hygiene, not a pet person, CLEAN (your body, home, car), somewhat ORGANIZED, cleaning up after yourself, cooking for yourself (it would be nice if you can cook good like me so we can cook for one another--mainly healthy cooking), doing your laundry and your grocery shopping. I'm honestly not into being my partner's Mom or Maid--I'm seeking a mate not a child or job. I know this is much, but hey at least I'm honest with what I want which is a good thing. I just don't plan on wasting anymore time with Mr. Wrong. :)
