'Both people feel safe and secure [in a relationship] only because they agree to make it so.' -- Dr. Stan Tatkin Yes, one of my reading interests...Stan Tatkin. I'm a little old world. Yet, new world too. Love SciFi. Have a serious side to my nature. But, at the same time...ohhhhh, boy...do I LOVE to laugh if the humour resonates with me! An animal lover. Especially dogs. Love music and going to concerts. Attended a good number and always looking forward to live music events. Love my family. And, am family oriented. Very dedicated and loyal to those close to me. Trust is paramount. And, it should be for you too! People have described me as 'bright' and 'noble' (not a word you hear often). I am not perfect. NO ONE is. So, don't try to be. It's how you accept and deal with each other's imperfections that counts. The truth is...we are all looking for a sense of belonging. Love is 'earned'. Real love. The lasting stuff. **A side note: If you have recently ended a serious relationship (marriage or long-term connection) you are probably NOT READY to take on a new/serious partnership. Be kind, responsible and honest (with yourself first!) so that no one wastes anyone's time. Therefore, seek out only those who are interested in casual dating. There is a difference between 'casual' vs. 'intentional' dating. What is your intention? Why are you here? Hope everyone finds their resonate person!!!
