Dear R,
My family would want me to seek a companion in life.  I have the financial independence which might lead a woman in my position not to seek a life mate but I believe that the felicity of finding someone with whom I can share the intimacy of my life would bring me joy and I  believe  I could make someone else happy in turn. 

I am, as you rightly point out, blessed in many other areas of my life, save someone with whom to share my inner most thoughts.  I hope to be able to share every aspect of myself with another person, and be that person for another. 

What is your motivation for seeking to match your life with another's?

Sincerely
R
