I am over 49 years old, a professional female with strong Christian background. Words that describe me includes: goal oriented, ambitious, independent, loyal, genuine, forgiving, kind and free-spirited. I have a happy full life and would enjoy sharing it with someone, but I am not 'looking for' anything in particular. I am open to new people that come into my life. I hope to find a kindred spirit. The best analogy I can come up with is that I'd like to find a companion who fits with my life like a favourite pair of worn-in jeans. I would like to meet someone with similar goals, compatible values, and a willingness to talk openly and honestly about expectations. Autonomy is important to me; it is possible to grow independently yet as a couple at the same time. I 'm very friendly, open minded, loving and caring person who knows how to take very good care of her partner especially, giving him sense of belonging in everything I do. My ideal partner is a companion who I can engage with intellectually as well as physically, and above all a best friend. Things I find attractive: guys who are sincere, secure, confident, forgiving, honest, trusting, communicative, respectful, supportive, emotionally mature, monogamous and above all, know what he wants. I seek relationships that are more replenishing than depleting and that create more connection than conflict. Please be honest and forthcoming about your flaws %u2013 we all have them %u2013 I easily overlook imperfections in people who are in touch with them.
