I have come to Australia from California, and seek a companion who knows herself enough to have already come to the conclusion that it's not about you, it's not about me- it's about us. I understand about active listening, that a relationship is about equality and respect, and that a partner should not be taken for granted.
I think I have the beginning equation for a healthy relationship: Love + comittment * honesty + humor/flexibility

First date would be a dinner, perhaps Thai or Malaysian, and then a walk where we can talk about those things that are important, and the relationships we've learned from, and where we want to go to next.
