Someone who is honest, attentive-but not possessive, fun to be around, even-tempered, has a sense of humor, someone who knows how to respect and treat a lady (opening car doors, pulling out chairs, candy, flowers, etc), someone who enjoys traveling (weekend getaways/vacations), movies, someone who can cook or who enjoys going out to new and different places. Someone who will be my best friend as well as my lover. Must also be a good listener and communicator who knows and is not afraid to express his thoughts and feelings. My ideal man must be strong and confident (I am not looking for a weak man who runs off at the 1st sign of trouble), but someone who is able to weather the storms of a relationship as well as the good times. (Every relationship will have ups and downs) I am seeking someone who has goals and is emotionally and financially stable, someone who knows what they want out of life and takes steps to achieve those goals and dreams.
