As for friends, I am open to people who love to have a good time, and enjoy life. Who smile and laugh instead of cry and whine! I accept everyone as an individual (Lesbians, Bi-sexuals, Gays, African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Caucausions, Female, Males, and so forth); therefore, I will not deny your friendship. On the other hand, for a relationship I am in search of one where my significant other can be more like a best friend. For example, I want to be able to do my own things when I am in a relationship, and not feel as though I am locked down. I do not want my significant other to constantly ask where I am going, what I am doing, and so forth. Additionally, I do not want to be attached like glue to my significant other. I need the freedom! If I want to go to the gym, byso I am going to go. If I want to go out with my girlfriends, for all means do not worry where I am going with them, and so forth. I want the feeling that we are like best friends who are able to communicate, have fun, smile, laugh, and have a relationship with no drama (No fights, no crying, no arguing). Tell me the truth, and I will tell you the truth.I will give you complete freedom, so I except the same in return. Do you understand? I have felt the feeling of having someone try to lock me down, and it is not a satisfied feeling. I do not expect to get into any type of relationship soon, for I am young, still exploring, and I love my freedom. However, if I find a guy that has a lot of good qualities, and is someone I might want to eventually (keyword "eventually) start a bestfriend-like relationship with than I will work on estbalishing a strong friendship. However, I will not force a relationship. If the other person, and I are meant to be than won't the relationship eventually become serious? I will let the other have freedom, and will never hold them down. If they want to date others on the side then I am all for it. I have nothing agaisnt that, because I will do the same. And I will understand that they are still searching and/or finding out what the right girl for themselves is. On the other hand, I am always open for friendships. I believe the best relationships come from strong friendships.
