A profile is just an indicator of what somebody is about, not some shopping list from which you can pick and choose. Ultimately it is the pheromones and whether two people are intellectually, emotionally and sexually in sync that will be the deciding factor. Communication is key, or so I believe.

I often get asked by friends or colleagues "where haven't you been?" or "what haven't you experienced, done or seen?" The answer to this is that there is much that I have not seen, done, or experienced etc. However, I have had a very full life in comparison to most, or so it would appear.

I believe that the foundation of a good relationship, begins when people become friends first. While sexual attraction is important, the thrill and ecstatic feelings that this brings, can often burn itself out, if there is no foundation to build onto. This is not to say that I am a cold, dead fish!! lol ... in case you were wondering!

Communication, trust, honesty, integrity, humor, respect, empathy and much more are also important in relationships.

Spiritual growth and enlightenment,is important to me. While I am in no way religious, I do believe in personal growth and that this is an ongoing journey, that only ends when we do.

Love is not about instant gratification,it's about taking time to get to know somebody and bonding with them. It's about being whole within yourself, and not needing somebody else to to make you whole. It's about feeling comfortable and at ease in each others company. It's about respecting each others uniqueness and accepting them just the way they are. It's about compromise and sharing and giving each other space.

I could say a lot more here, but I feel that this is sufficient to give you an idea of my views on relationships and whether it gels with your own beliefs and ideals.

I am open to suggestions!!
