The girl next door (sort of)

I'll keep this simple. I'm pretty level headed, straight up kind of girl and sometimes I can be a little shy. Not loud and obnoxious. In other words, I wont embarrass you in front of your friends or your mother. But enough with the jokes.... I don't need to be around ppl 24/7. I am comfortable in my own skin. I love taking weekend trips up north. Good food, fine wine and good company is what makes me happy. I don't diet and like to eat a good meal. What the hell...I'll even have dessert. I'm comfortable wearing a little black dress as well as a tee shirt and jeans. I am very content to stay home curled up with a good classic novel or kick my heels up dancing the night away. Looking For: I don't expect a man to hand me the stars and moon and all that fairy tale nonsense. That's right folks, I'm a realist. I would like a best friend I can share new experiences with. Someone I can actually talk to. He doesn't have to understand me but he should accept me. I'm not looking for a man to be my life. I'm looking for someone to share it with. It's important that you have your own friends, interests and passions. Your own identity. Looking for a true gem. A man who is family oriented who respects and cares for his friends. Someone who can laugh at himself and not take things too seriously. A nice guy who is confident enough to stand up for himself and what he believes in. A man who can open up my jars.
