I would actually like to meet someone that I would be honored to call my best friend and lover. My ideal mate would be one who knows how to treat a MAN right, one that can be sensitive, affectionate but not overzealous about it either, one who knows how to love and loves to be loved as I am very affectionate and loving, and like to be treated with the same unfailing love that I give. I am looking for a woman who is not afraid to love, I prefer romantic, mature, affectionate women. I believe that romance is a very important part of the relationship. I enjoy women who are confident with themselves and are not afraid to express themselves in a diplomatic way. I think it is very important that two people want the same thing in a relationship. I believe that this should be discussed and communicated clearly when two people first meet.
