My ideal match is witty, kind and loves animals. I'm attracted to men who are intelligent , emotionally mature and don't mind talking about whatever topic presents itself. I don't expect someone to open up to me immediately, but I would like to think that the potential is there if the time is appropriate. I don't want to be guessing what someone is feeling if an issue is important. I'm fairly open and I think it's important to be able to laugh at yourself and see the lighter side of life. I am responsible when I need to be. I respect others opinions even if I don't agree - and I think it's important to be able to disagree politely without tension.
