Even-keeled, easygoing, optimistic, happy: When you get to know me, this is how you’ll describe me to your friends. I’m not bragging when I say I’m a good man; after all, shouldn’t I be? I believe that everyone should be as kind to others as possible. Honesty, loyalty and patience — these should be part of any relationship, whether a friendship or a romance.

In a relationship, I’m very affectionate, and I show my feelings. I love to cuddle, and I tend to spoil my lady. Now, I know you’ve probably met men like that — and the downside is usually that they’re possessive and jealous. That’s not me: I’m secure enough not to be threatened by your friends, hobbies and independence. They’re part of what makes you so interesting. I believe in trust, and I want someone who knows she can trust me 110% because she trusts herself to be, as well. When there’s trust in a relationship, there’s no room for control or jealousy. And when other guys flirt with and talk to you, I’ll just smile with pride. Of course, people notice you: You’re beautiful!

In fact, I don’t get angry about much. Arguing and yelling just aren’t my thing. When something’s wrong, I listen and talk it through… and five minutes later, I’m smiling again.

If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m looking for the forever kind of love. I want to travel with you and see places we’ve never been — maybe Glacier Lake or the Adirondacks in upstate New York.

I don’t have a list of traits I’d like in a woman; everyone’s different. And really, what I’d like to know about you at first will all be right there in your eyes.
