Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Bonnerdale, 27 year old

Date men and women from Arkansas, United States. Patience is everything in dating when you are looking for something meaningful . I've been on a lot of dates where you sit across from someone knowing they aren't it. Then you politely finish the date and figure out a decent way to break things off. I've been on a streak of those kinds of dates and its getting old. Unlike some people, I never go out with someone who isn't right for me just to be with someone. Luckily I am totally ok with being alone, so I'm ok with waiting.
Its not always looks. Sometimes its the lack of a sense of humor sometime its different goal in life, some times it emotional instability, a high level of drama or just a lack of any chemistry. We all have drama and that's to be expected, but some of the men I've met could be a one person reality show.
The kind of man I like is goal oriented, independent, loving, caring, a pretty smile and a nice personality. The most important quality to me is a nice disposition. Of course honesty and other traits are important, but someone who's nice and fun to be around is most important.
As for me, I am good looking, well educated, well employed with most of the things that matter. I am health conscious and take very good care of myself. I don?t have any baggage and stay away from drama as much as I can. I'm always a gentlewoman with respectful as well.
I don't want the man who has a long list of "friends" who he happens to have slept with, the man who is concerned with my financial status or who wants to get married as soon as possible. I want the one who's fun to be with, honest, a man in public (to an extent) and alive in private. Its been a long time since I've dated someone that I really look forward to seeing.
I'm not one of those people who thinks looks are everything, but lets face it, there has to be an attraction.
