American-style translation

Hi everyone, can somebody please check the few following sentences, which to be posted on a social network web site as a part of my friend's profile. I'm not sure if I've translated them correctly or to say so in "American Style", since I'm not a native speaker Emotion: smile So here it is:
"Sorry for the delayed replies, since I receive a whole bunch of messages daily. Please be patient as I'm busy working on it and feel free to send me another message or two in the meantime. Your compliments are welcome at any time."
"Looking forward to meeting some good friends as well as an honest, trustworthy and caring man to build a relationship with."
"Would love to go on vacation with a man, who takes our trip as a more than just one-time adventure, who knows how to treat and entertain a woman and is willing to provide a five-star hotel stay."

Hello Mr. Micawber,
I appreciate your quick response ! I was suspecting that "I am(would)" has to be at the beginnings of those sentences, even though these sentences are to be written in the specific fields of the profile(which already have names like "Who am I looking for" and "Travel"). But that "but" in the first sentence is something that I was really missing and I couldn't find
