What are you looking for in a partner?
I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE A LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP. I NEED A FRIEND, A COMPANION, AND A LOVER.
I like to give and receive hugs. I need a significant other to be there for me and I want to be there for a significant other. I would like a significant other to share some of the things I like to do and I would like to share some of the things my significant other likes to do. I would like to give my significant other space to do the things he needs to do.
