I feel as if you want someone specific (not that you do, that's just the way I read your profile). I would tell myself that I couldn't measure up to you.

I have been married forever, but I do have daughters who are dating so I know what they think.

Please don't take my words as criticism. It is just an honest reaction to your profile.
(I do get it, it's lovely, but a lot of women think they have some kind of checklist.... but, really, they want to be swept up in a grand romantic gesture....then get to know who you are)
