I'm a terrible romantic. Consequently I'm naive, looking always for the best in others which means I ignore their shortcomings. I try to be people focused believing that everyone is like a natural diamond and friendship bonds people to people like the chemical bonds that hold Hydrogen to Oxygen to form water,the basic substance of life. I am frightened by the breakdown of these social bonds as it leads to enmity, separation, divorce,war.....A person was not designed to be a complete independent entity but to coexist. To that end my hobbies, work and play is designed to meet, embrace and befriend people, the phoenix of El Dorado.

Dates should be tasty surprises. They should be thoughtful and pertinent to my partner's taste. This "thoughtfulness" is a reflection of how much the person is honored and esteemed.
