be in a good relationship

i have been extremely independent for most of my life (26 years old now). At this stage, I am comfortable in my own skin, have a secure job, have a great place, i know who I am and what I want out of life and the people I invite into mine. So I’m ready… to give of myself to another person, to communicate, to learn, to love. I don’t want to play games or tease someone with affection. I don’t want to skirt around an issue assuming that’s what I have to do to protect someone’s vulnerability. I want to talk things through, say what’s on my mind, and be truthful at all times. I want to find someone of a similar mind who I’m extremely HOT for, a best friend, a lover, a relationship to love.
