I’m feminine, grounded and independent, but I still believe there is something very special about being able to relax next to the right person. Someone with whom you can laugh until it hurts, talk about everything, make plans, enjoy silence and never feel the need to pretend.

I’ve been married before, so I no longer romanticize relationships just for the sake of having one. What interests me now is something much more valuable- warmth, ease, attraction, trust and the feeling that two people genuinely make each other’s lives better.

The relationship I want is built on trust, mutual effort and respect. I like closeness, but not control; support, but not dependence. I want us to have our own interests and still genuinely enjoy choosing each other every day.

Ideally, we laugh a lot, talk openly, travel sometimes, create small traditions of our own and know how to stay kind even during disagreements.
