... on MEN 

I first notice: "definitely his personality and if he wears his clothes like a man should."

How a man can get my attention: "A man who will show me he is interested in me and wants my attention as well. Like when I can feel his eyes undress me from across the room and I wish it were for real, he’ll definitely have my attention."

Ideal man: "My ideal man would be tall, attractive, intelligent, strong, humorous, adventurous and someone who complements me."

I can't resist a man who ... "really knows how to make me feel sexy." 

I show a man I care ... "by showing acts of kindness by leaving little notes around for him to find, or taking him out on a date once in a while. And wearing sexy lingerie in his favorite color."

One thing a man has done for me that has made me melt: "An ex-boyfriend planned a beautiful evening for me, he had rose petals all over the room with candles burning all around, while having drawn a bubble bath just for me. I was really moved and took it all in." 

Most important quality in a man: "His mind. I want the opportunity to grow with someone who is going to enrich my thoughts with his knowledge, and always keep the relationship fresh with his ideas and dreams." 

Ideal date: "It would be having dinner in a quiet place. Afterwards going to a planned event that is in the area and if all goes well late into night or early morning, going home to give each other relaxing massages and being totally wrapped up in ourselves." 

I would never date a man who ... "cheats or is abusive!"

What makes a man unforgettable: "For me it is his gorgeous smile, sense of humor, and acts of kindness."

What I wish men understood more about women: "Everything!!!!" 

One thing a man has never done for me yet, but I would love it: "Rescue me from being single!"

... on RELATIONSHIPS 

Views on relationship/marriage: "My views on relationships and marriage are thought of very seriously. There are so many factors to consider. It would never work if we didn't complement each other or complete each other. The relationship would definitely have to enrich both our lives." 

Top relationship keys: "Taking things slow, letting the person show you who they really are and vice versa. Being real, open and honest with each other and make sure to let the other person know, really know how you feel about them as time goes on. Remembering you’re not in the relationship alone, so you may need to compromise once in a while. Spending time together but also let the other person have some quality time of their own."

My last relationship ... what went wrong: "In reality the relationship didn’t seem like one. The communication wasn’t there and I felt neither one of us was really there. We were definitely two different people. It was unhealthy and stressful, we both realized to we had to end it and move on." 

A man who is in a relationship with me can expect ... "that I will challenge his mind, if he will let me (no games). I will let him know that I am worthy, understanding and will make the most of any situation. I'll never turn my back on him. Of course all the perks any guy would want, also loyalty, stability, respect and most of all TRUST. If the relationship is long term and I fall in love, he would have that too!"

What I expect: "Whatever his true self can offer, as long as it is genuine, from his heart and meaningful."

When I'm in love, I ... "glow with happiness (so I have been told), and the whole world around me stops. I only see the man I love even when I close my eyes."

Greatest relationship lesson: "Know the difference between lust and love."

What makes a man marriage material: "When he is able to have a man to man talk with my father. Then he will be marriage material for me."

... on SEX 

How important is sex in a relationship: "Very important. It keeps the relationship very healthy." 

What puts me in the mood: "Being around my partner relaxed and fantasizing on what’s going to happen next."

I feel my sexiest when ... "I take strawberry and champagne bubble baths and wear only lacy underwear to bed."

Most sensual part of a man's body is ... "his whole body, I can’t just pick one part."

Sexiest thing a man can wear in private is ... "no shirt and jogging pants."

Surefire way for a man to seduce me: "A man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to act on it."

What makes sex good: "Having an open minded partner who is willing to explore and experiment with my body and give me pleasure, as he will let me do the same to him."
