Looking for my best friend...

I am an average looking, full-figured, single woman. I love to laugh and have fun. I am a bit shy until I get to know you. I am loyal and honest, and looking for the same. I love children, although I do not have any of my own.I love to read and listen to music. I love animals. I enjoy the simple things in life... Quiet times alone, but also fun times shared with friends. I do not believe that two people must be together 24/7, in a relationship....everyone needs their own space every now and then. But I do believe that each person should respect their partners feelings. I always strive to remember that "Love and Laughter are the key to life." My friends describe me as Modest,Intelligent, Passionate and Warm. I am looking for someone Canadian who has a similar outlook on life. Someone who can make me laugh. Someone who will love me unconditionally, and with whom I can return those feelings. I dont like to pressure or be pressured to do things I dont want to do. I am looking for companionship, for now. Should I find something deeper, wonderful, but for now I am happy to just make a new friend. What I value most in a partner are: Honesty, compassion, integrity, respect for his partner, but most importantly unconditional LOVE. If you are a player/con artist looking to score (either financially or sexually), keep looking because I'm not your girl. I've been taken in once that was enough. For those who are real, sorry if I sound jaded! Please be patient.
