I am a straight forward person, kinda on the no holds barred era..I tend to come off as discreet and private. I do warm up with great conversation. I am one that lives a life with no expectations to avoid the disappointments that may follow. My ideal candidate for a mate must be one that has the desires to be honest and upfront about any and everything. There is no need for disclosure during the first stages of getting to know someone. This way you can bail or leap if there is any topic of conversation that sours your interest. This same man should have qualifications of wanting to excel at having a committed relationship after the red tape is broken of course. I don't adapt well to drama, I bring none so I don't expect any in return. If there is a part of your past that you have yet to have closure with .. that may cause headaches in pre-establishing a relationship with someone else.. than I suggest you refrain from seeking to get to to know anymore about me.
