'Both people feel safe and secure [in a relationship] only because they agree to make it so.' -- Dr. Stan Tatkin -- one of my reading interests. I'm a little old world. Yet, new world too. I'm honest, family oriented, caring, trustworthy and have enduring loyalty to those I love and care for. These are also the qualities that I admire and look for in others. 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. 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 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!!!
