Hi .........

*TAKING SOME TIME OFF. SORRY IF I DON'T REPLY - Not a premium member-can't reply to msgs* Great relationships exist. They’re out there, like UFOs and Big Foot; not often sighted, but for those who believe, they’re very real. Knowing that they exist makes the effort worthwhile. It should not be complicated: honesty, trust, respect, communication, understanding, and compromise. I don’t know what “chemistry” is, but undeniable when present. Attraction, physical or otherwise, is important but a relationship requires effort. Effort does not mean it has to be difficult; it just requires a commitment. I don’t think that what I want and believe in is right for everyone, but it should be for the person I am with. I need someone who is grounded and has the same priorities as I do: love, honor and family before other things, especially material possessions. Life is about balance. YOU: Motivated, but not pushy; Ambitious, but not greedy; Intelligent & curious about the world around you; Adventurous and spontaneous but not schizophrenic; Compassionate; Never spiteful or mean-spirited; has a true sense of honor; Does not live or die by the opinions of others; Someone that does not give up when something is worth fighting for, but who’s not too stubborn to admit mistakes. Someone forgiving (because I make mistakes too). Someone with a pure heart; untainted and innocent enough to believe in love and romance ... for a lifetime. I want someone who whether happy or sad remains hopeful.
