Lovingu622, 50

I am a smart working Legal Professional that loves the LORD, culture, adventure, and the arts. Yet very down to earth. I believe in living a balanced life. I believe that relationship begins with honest friendship before moving into that intuitive emotional capsule sought by most, so my quest for a serious relationship starts with a casual development. Recognition that serious relationships require time and candidness to develop. One should have similar interests and a willingness to work towards shared goals. True relationship requires emotional, spiritual, personal and physical commitment. Without this sort of effort, trust is difficult to manifest and longevity is limited, leaving you only with an arrangement. Compassionate honesty is key, real key. A sense of humor, a sense of wonder, a sense of self are also important attributes in a partner. A confident, independent and self assured partner who is also warm, kind, caring and respectful is vital. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Other desirable qualities and some repeated: Spiritual Acceptance (a partner who accepts and respects my spiritual beliefs, whether they share them or not); Sense of Humor (someone who is smart and can enjoy the humorous side of life); Tolerant (able to hear and appreciate divergent viewpoints); Passionate (someone who is willing to explore our desires with passion and understanding); Loyal (someone I can count on to support my efforts); Communicator (good at talking and listening); Curiosity (hungry for new information, knowledge, and who strives to learn as much as possible); Conflict Resolver (working to resolve rather than win arguments or conflicts within our relationship); Chemistry (there must be mutual attraction towards one another). Geniune, no drama nor no games.
