"Life is not measured by how many breaths you take, but by how many moments that takes your breath away" I am a passionate individual who loves romance and believes that there is a natural chemistry that happens between individuals that cannot be manufactured...it is either there or it is not. That while a relationship is work there is empowerment in that chemistry...in the desire to share your life with another individual, loving, respecting them for who God created them to be, and having the desire to be a better you, and partner out of that love. The truth is that romance does not just happen. Real-life relationships are not a string of magical moments, like the scenes in the movies. Romance isn't something saved for Valentine's Day, your anniversary, or your beloved's birthday. If you truly want to become a romantic, you have to remember romance is a state of mind, not a single action or event. It is an attitude of love, tenderness, and preference that needs to be daily reinforced. I am old fashion, polite, but still have a few hidden traits that may surprise you. I like to make people smile, as I also like that quality in others. I am probably the one your mothers have warned you about. LOL, you know the quiet one! I would not let that part of me fool you. I do have a shy quality, but I can be bold when I feel comfortable. I can be upfront as I appreciate honesty in all shapes and forms. I have been told that I am deep and intense person intellectually. Some people find this boring or a simply use that description as an excuse to avoid being serious about who they really are. Please don't contact me for games or one night stands! Please ladies include a pic..I did and I hate pictures! lol
