The person that captures my attention will be intelligent, focused, funny, and open without being worried about showing vulnerability. She will respect me and my opinions, although we are not going to always agree. I need someone who will be there for me when times get rough, just as I am there for her. It is essential that my partner be spiritual. I believe in "praying together to stay together." Hopefully She will understand the necessity and benefits of SERVING.The ideal mate for me would be RESPECTFUL, a woman of good character, humble(this means everything to me), intelligent(or at least smart), thoughtful, attentive(I love being spoiled), charming, expressive(tell me how you feel), honest, loyal, a woman of integrity, confidence, humorous, open-minded, passionate, creative(surprise me-be spontaneous), imaginative(what are your dreams and goals?), unselfishness, positive, supportive, patient, hard working and last but, certainly not least, SHE LOVES HER PARENTS!!!Must I mention... "Hygiene?"...There' 's nothing like a good smelling woman(UMPH)! :~) When a woman cares about herself, she exudes that-whether she's wearing jeans and a tee shirt, sweats, or evening gown.Nobody is perfect; nevertheless, you should always put your "best foot foreword" in relationships. In other words..."Bring Your 'A' Game!" I'm gonna bring mine.In conclusion, I just want to say..."CONFIDENCE I KNOW MY ROLE AS A MAN"...DO YOU KNOW YOUR ROLE AS A "WOMAN"????? A
