When I was in high school, I was elected “Class Lady” in the senior polls. At this time in my life, what I am looking for is a man who knows how to treat me like the “Class Lady” that I still am. I feel the major ingredients of a healthy relationship are respect, integrity, and passion and they MUST be mixed with a great sense of humor. There’s a spark, a certain attraction that is also necessary and adds the spice to the other ingredients that make a relationship come alive. All of these ingredients, coupled with friendship create an ideal relationship. This is what I am looking for. I want to sit across from my partner at dinner ten, twenty, or even thirty years from now and still have something to talk about… he, with a twinkle in his eye and I, a smile on my face while playing “footsies” under the table. I’m looking for a man who is powerful, self confident, and intelligent, yet knows how to hold a woman softly. Family values and connections are also important to me and I would love to share all those great family times with the special man in my life both with his family and mine. My perfect partner is someone who is mature enough to give as well as receive, and also is secure in himself, so we can laugh and play and find the joy of sharing a life together.
