I do want a mature woman to be my friend and lover for a permanent relationship leading to marriage. I don't expect to find the perfect woman just like I am not perfect myself. However, I seek someone who is sane, healthy, monogamous, straight, sexually active but faithful just like me. Funny ladys and nature lovers are a plus. I also believe that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and I am interested in the inner character more.
Friendship is a good reason to go out on a date but I am not big on serial dating. I am not in a rush and quite conservative in terms of physical intimacy but I am fine with holding hands even on the first date hoping to find some spark.
