I've been fortunate to be 'in love' several times in my life, and can honestly say I have no regrets.
I feel if you choose wisely, even the break-ups can be amicable. Saying that, there is something I feel I have learned in my relationship experience. I'm romantic enough to believe that love exists, but too much of a realist to believe it works well without compatibility. I'm talking- day to day, moral/value, financial compatibility. In my opinion, this is a major factor in order for any relationship to be successful. If nothing it leads to far less disagreements

Ok, enough about me. What am I looking for... For starters, someone that can relate to what I wrote above. Someone that has a good sense of self, and isnt too proud to admit his mistakes or falters and can brush himself off, try again, or make amends. Someone that has his own life and respects I have mine - but can share the desire to balance them both. A good sense of family and friends is also important- as this is a huge part of my life. An ability to 'not sweat the small stuff' is a must-being able to put things in perspective, and not skew a situation in a negative direction.
Essentially I'm content with my life, and hope to find someone that has 'his own life', allows me to 'have mine', but can share the oars and paddle together (see, i can be corn-dog cutesy too
