I am looking for a man who is calm but never boring. Someone who can laugh heartily, keep his word and appreciate simple joys. He is self-confident, but without unnecessary pride. He values ;;warmth and honesty more than beautiful phrases. And in his presence I always feel: here is my strength and love. Next to him I want to be a man who is passionate and tender at the same time.
