What we look for in Life and what we get can be entirely two different things, usually the things we take for granted.... in the end we hold dear.

One cannot find Love... it finds you and all the defenses that one may try to erect means nothing when Love comes calling.

For Love creates it own rhythm.... yet dances to the beat of the heart.

For me I feel Compatibility is important, I don't have to be in Love to enjoy ones company, to travel or to be friends.
For after Friends..... Let romance be the Gateway.... if Love calls.

I like to Travel and have done extensively, enjoy all types of music but my favorites is Love songs and Jazz.
Sunset is my favorite time of day..... when the evening silhouettes seek the twilight sky.

Tender moments that has no cost but has great value.......like candle light music,
fire side chat or a snuggled up movie.

For like a precious stone.... treasured moments are worth their own

For keeping in shape and to stay active I play racquet ball and paddle ball.
Specially enjoy a day of fishing when combined with a picnic basket and soft music.

I don't ask for more than I have to offer.
If one gives more to a relationship then they take more when its over and will be surly missed..... I like to be missed.

The French has a saying that when translated says,

Romance and Love is more exciting when you are climbing the stairs....being a romantic I like to keep my feet on the first step.....if you care to join then lets hold hands and climb.

It takes two to Tango and only one to Shadow Dance.....I have always chosen to tango
for I need my other half. Those who prefer to shadow dance.... I do wish you well.

I will not tick all the boxes and certainly dont want to try and fill any past shoes.
But create my own impression and leave my own footprints in our time.

so to close from a verse from one of my poems.

Lets place our feelings on the Wings of a Dove
Letting it ride, not forcing Love
For if these two Hearts are meant to entwine
I will surely surrender, and let yours be mine

The chances are we will never meet and my words will have the lifespan of a snowflake.
But here's to The Good Times of the Past and of yet to be..........Please remember Life is not a REHEARSAL

For me a romantic setting is a nice place to start, candle light, sunset, a nice view, soft music. Be yourself and relax for usually its only a feeling out process so chemistry will play a part if its there. It is a worth while date if one wants to remember it the next day.
