Looking to meet new people, make friends

I am 26 years old, a friendly, perhaps a bit serious, but passionate about things I believe in. I am open to other's beliefs and respect all view even though I may disaggree entirely with them. My hobbies are reading, I like to improve my knowledge, so anything that catches my eye, I like reading history or historical novels since that I feel gives me a perpective on on the world in many ways. I like music, dancing; I like nature and the outdoors and like to find solace and comfort in it, by myself or with a friend , loved one. My career is important to me. I take my interests seriously and always strive for improvement in my endeavors. I dont believe that anything in life comes easy, but only through sacrifice and effort. Looking For: I want someone in whose presence I can be utterly comfortable, if possible even my best friend. I want to be able to confide in them my deepest thoughts and feelings. And enjoy more than anything else her presence in my life, our time together, the smile on her face. I do not care about looks as long as I am attracted to them.
