A little about me, and what I am looking for in partner.
I am 47 y/o, divorced and a mother of two teen agers—17 y/o daughter and 13 y/o son who lives with me. I live in St-louis, Missouri for past about 19 years. I been separated for 3 and divorced for about 2 years now. I have a MBA from Pakistan and Masters in Counseling  from USA. I am a professional licensed counselor and a certified leadership energy coach. I am a native of Pakistan, but raised in Kuwait. My parents are deceased. I have 3 siblings and I am the eldest. 
	My friends describe me as an idealist, an intellect, personable, life of a party, athletic, energetic, fashionista, reliable, a little on crazy side and an authentic person.  I consider myself an observant, creative, an artist, curious, adventures, self aware, responsible and free spirited. 
	I am a very passionate, upbeat, socialite, athletic and active person. I believe life is short, I like to live in the moment and I try not to take life very seriously.  I enjoy deep conversations, music, dance, art, books, good company, dinning out, long walks in the fall, dance in the summer rain, and sled in snow in the winter. I love nature and love outdoor activities. 
	I can talk for hours about everything and anything and listen with heart.
My hobbies include painting, photography, watching documentaries, learning about history and exploring new culture and things in life. 
	I take pride in taking care of myself physically, mentally and spiritually. I believe in how you feel is how you look, act and treat people.  I am very spiritual, naturalist, and have deep love and enthusiasm to gain knowledge, understanding for religion, humanity and philosophy. 
	I don't wear hijab (unless I am in mosque), and I wear modest ethnic and western attire. I pray 5 times a day (95% of time ), I am an enthusiastic for Eid, Ramadan, and other holiday celebrations.
	So what am I looking for in partner? I am looking for a friend who I can fall in love with,  and grow old while making lasting memories. I am looking for a partner with compatible chemistry, who is committed, open minded, respectful to himself and others, and knows how to spoil a women. 
	I'm definitely an idealist, dreamer, and hopelessly romantic. I am seeking someone who also appreciate these attributes, someone who has depth of character, his own inspirations, real passion and excitements in life, about life. Someone who is able to have sophisticated conversation with intellectual approach without arrogance.	
	I like men who take care of themselves physically, mentally and spiritually. Who are not walking around with their egos on their shoulders. The one who carry themselves with grace, physically and intellectually. Who can be my best friend who stands beside me, compliment me, and be my crime partner in living the life at its fullest, traveling the world with adventures spirit. 
	Although English has become my primary language, I am native of Pakistan and love Urdu poetry, Hindi movies. My priority is for someone who speaks Urdu/Hindi, and appreciate Pak/Indian music and movies. But I am open to other ethnicities and as long as someone can speak clear and proficient english language. Beside all this my non-negotiable are; muslim, educated/professional, financially stable, looks, humbleness and an open-mindedness.
	I am open to move but not immediately, I am also open to travel and give a long distance relationship a chance—during get to know period. I defiantly want to have " dating" get to know period before taking any decision.
