  SO what am I looking for in a partner? I am looking for my best friend that I will fall in love with, and live the rest of the life--growing 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. 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 and traveling the world with adventures spirit. I like men who take care of themselves physically, mentally and spiritually, who are not walking around with their egos on their shoulders. 
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 / understand english language. Beside all this my main musts are ; muslim, educated/professional, financially stable, looks and open-mindedness. 
I am open to move but not immediately, I am also open to travel and give long distance relationship a chance -during get to know period. I defiantly want to have " dating" get to know period before I make any decision.
