I'm not driven by material things, status or power. I would like to take shot and try to keep up with you. I'm seeking long term serious relationship that will turn to marriage. I'm driven by simplicity, integrity, honesty, love, compassion and nature. I'm simply me, controversial, polemic, but loving, totally passionate and helplessly romantic.

My Ideal Person What I am looking for is someone who will get to know me, who like me.. is tired of being lonely, who desires a sincere relationship, who is willing to love again irrespective of the painful memories of the past., who is willing to merge his soul with mine and his heart with mine. Someone to share and spend the rest of my life with. You see, I feel there are few very basic but essential elements of a relationship.. (1) Identifying the need to be in a relationship (2) decision and readiness to contribute to its success 3) HONESTY (4) TRUST (5) MUTUAL RESPECT, (6)DEVOTIONAL COMMITMENT WITH A READINESS TO MAKE SACRIFICES knowing fully well that a Gold must go through fire before it can be purified and graded. They are also to a degree sequential. I may choose first Honesty and then Respect. They go hand in hand and without them any type of relationship; business, personal, family, whatever, is bound to fail. Anyone who is dishonest cannot be respected. Without showing respect, he or she is unlikely to be treated with honesty. Those are fundamental to trust which like respect is earned because honesty was first and was given. When trust is built and respect is earned and they are given and shared, then love and happiness is inevitable. When your love and trust were given, it is more important than receiving a treasure. Then commitment becomes a part of the relationship. At that point, you promise and believe it will be forever. You can do this because you love and trust the other person and are committed to making a life to share together.I will try to be more specific. First, no one is perfect, especially me. I know this though; when the right person or person that seems right comes into your life you will know it. A connection happens and you just can't, or won't let go of them. Your whole life changes and all of the emptiness begin to fill up. It starts with the first touch, the first time you look into each other's eyes, the very first time for everything becomes a moment to remember.
