I would like to go somewhere where we can talk, and get to know what we both are looking for. I like the beach, the shore, a boardwalk, or small cafe, where we can enjoy a cup of tea, or cappuccino.From this I think evolves a great friendship, and then the two realize how much chemistry exists between each other. Not necessarily picking each others faults or drawbacks, but each other strengths and future goals and personality traits....I feel from this moment is when you know deep inside if this friendship will grow. Walking, talking, laughing, and maybe holding hands...and being totally honest, and take things slow as we get used to each other, and if the chemistry is not there we can depart knowing we just made a good friend..

As before, in my earlier essays, I am very open and honest. Once you see these character traits, the trust in me will grow, and you can then see the kind of woman that I am. You will treasure that moment and know that all I need and want are the same things you need and desire...you will feel peace, and very relaxed around me.

My last relationship taught me to be myself in all aspects of my life....to be open and honest and to never be angry at each other. To express my needs to him so he can express his needs to me. To show him affection at all times no matter how tired or what kind of day we both have had.To also share all we have with each other and not to let money be an issue but a fact of life, and never going to bed angry...but most importantly I have learned not to burn bridges...

My God, my mate, my children, grandchildren and then myself.

My perfect day starts giving my mate a great kiss, and hugs, and making a huge breakfast. Then going for a drive to a really nice antique shop or to the beach for the day...pack a light lunch, and lay out and enjoy the day...then come home shower put a good movie on the cd player and relax!!

I would like to add that communication, trust and passion are the great components of a good relationship...but without God in our lives we are nothing...he brings it all together. I would like to add not to be afraid to reach out to others but be careful not to be too trusting...at first, because that is a safety mechanism. Enjoy your search, I pray your efforts are fruitful!!
