Well.... I did it. I am part of the Match family.... not sure if that is good or bad but willing to take a chance and find out.
Let me take a little word space to tell you a little about myself....
I am a god fearing man first of all. I am not a prude and I am not perfect by any means. I have never been married and I have no kids. (both are very important goals for myself)
I am content with the fact that Cinderella will not be riding over the horizon to save me.... and I am well aware that fairy tale endings don't just happen without effort. I have learned from my past relationships that it takes work to make a very successful relationship. Compromising is part of the deal. You take a little and you give a little. There will be fights but accepting each-others faults more than loving their attributes just might be an important key to a successful relationship. So often we turn in to one another’s critic vs. their biggest fans. How do we stay in support mode and not slip in the critic cycle? Proving that you are right in a conflict means you have to prove that someone is wrong and that doesn't make progress. I want a relationship that has a foundation that is built on trust, compassion and adventure.
Do you ever stop and look around and see your friends with families and feel like time is passing on by? Isn't it funny how sometimes we enter into relationships? We get sucked into a lot of drama and one with no substance. Then we scratch our heads trying to figure out how we got ourselves into this situation. You will later realize that sometimes less is more. For me, a quality relationship whether it is personal/professional is one based on character, excellence, and standards I set for my own life. Not perfection, but one of value that adds to not distracts from. A relationship that is healthy in many ways...emotionally, spiritually and intellectually.
I do believe the traditional values. I still believe in chivalry and yes….the white picket fence. All things that now a days people talk about wanting but really want something totally different. I am a bit on the conservative side…no tattoos or piercings on myself and that is one of the first questions I get on this site. I have nothing against them and I can find them attractive on a female but for me…it’s just not me...not really the "bad boy" type.
