My point is if I want you I will stay in the relationship, if I don't want you, the relationship ends. Simple as that.

that is true, relationships of all forms can end at the drop of a hat.

No commitment. Really easy to drop everything and leave.

To paraphrase that movie "Heat"
Never become involved in anything you can't drop in 30seconds.

You may not leave. Maybe she will....

very true!.

You're probably not going to get anything TOO serious and committed with what you're looking for.

I am realistic, I know i may never find what I am looking for, but if I do find a girl who is with me on those three topics (and everything else clicks), I will be committed and I expect the same from her.

As I said before, there are women looking for the same type of relationship (and yes I consider what you are looking for a relationship) However, I think what many people are trying to say, which is highly likely to happen is feelings will change. Say after 8 months things are going great, now someone feels they actually do want to marry you or move in together (and it could be you, never know) that's where the problem arises. I think you have a better chance of finding what you are looking for, more so than most on here, but keep in mind that it may be asked to evolve into something more down the line, and ya never know what the future holds, you may not be opposed to that.

The women that I know that want a relationship akin to what you are describing are either older or divorced - or both. So, that might be helpful to know. They want companionship but they don't want to share their space or get remarried.

Also, I don't know if this has been pointed out - but I would call these things your "beliefs." I would just call them your preferences. These aren't really beliefs, just preferences or goals or what have you. I though I was going to be reading a thread about a satan worshipper or a follower of the flying spaghetti monster!

I think all those things are great but the situation you describe is lacking the glue that holds relationships together. Successful LTR's are usually the result of sharing yourself with another person. It's difficult to achieve the same degree of intimacy on a part time basis. There is a value in knowing your partner has seen you at your best and worst and still wants you in their life.
