I am looking for someone in Northern Calif. A little about myself I always try and find the good in everything. I am very honest and straight forward. I am a down home person,and enjoy the simple things in life. I use to worked as a advocate and researcher for special ed. for 20 year. I now work with crazy Dachshunds and socialize them by taking them to senior residential homes. I enjoy intelligent conversations, while learning and discussing different ideas. When I first meet someone I can be a little shy and reserved, but it doesn’t take long for that to change. My spiritual side of life is very important to me it is what keeps me grounded. I believe it is important to be always honest and live with integrity. I am trustworthy, and will be committed to the man that becomes part of my heart. I believe that it is important to honor and accept other's differences by supporting and loving unconditional. I don't believe in changing anyone or controlling another. I am very kind, generous, faithful, not jealous, reliable, not afraid of committed, patience,compionate, loyal, and have a openness to try new things. What I have listed in what I am looking for in a man are qualities that I have to offer the man in my life. What I am looking for in a man......... I am looking for my best friend, for a long term relationship. Some of qualities I look for in a man is that he needs to be HONEST, communicative, smart, respectable, compionate, faithful, patience, trust worthy, open minded, adventurous, and not afraid of committed. Someone that respect everyone choices and does not judge or to try to change anyones life path. A man that respect himself, others and is not into mind games or drama. A man that enjoy's learning about the one you love and finds the joy in seeing them happy. A man that is not afraid of letting his inner child out to play. A man to laugh with, that sees that life is good. A man that will be there when times get difficult, and be willing to work through the differences with understanding, respect and a openness to grow closer as a couple. Last thing I would like to say is I am practical and logical, I don't like come on lines (they come across insincere) just be yourself and I will write back. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Have a good one.
