Hi Ladies ... I am looking for a serious relationship with a loving person who would like to settle down again.

I would like a relationship but I do not need one to make me feel whole.

When I say 'relationship' I mean a form of commitment to one another not a joined at the hip 24/7 type.

I am looking for an equal, someone to share life with, a female counterpart, someone who also has a full life.

Someone with a positive mental attitude who carries their own weight. I have no problem caring for someone else, but do not want to take care of someone, meaning someone who expects me to do most of the work. A relationship is a two-way street.

Someone who is fun to be around. Laughing is a great stress-reducer and when people have full lives, with all the challenges that entails, having a sense of humour is important.

Someone I can count on.

A non smoker is a must, including alternatives.
