I think any relationship can work. I am sure we know of couples that live at the same address, might as well be 10, 000 miles apart. It is not age, race, or geography that separate mature men and women, nor is it physical closeness that makes then intimate. It is the quality of their communication, commitment, and trust. Love has no borders or age. It is a choice that two people have made, because they found common interests, relevant subjects to discuss, and chemistry that works. Looks are something that catches your eye, but to be honest is that something that is so important? The character and heart mean much more. Finding love is not about finding a perfect person, but seeing. I am interested in someone who is laid back and relaxed but who can also be spontaneous someone who enjoys the simple things but is also willing to try something new or different. I am looking for someone interested in living life not just observing it. At this point, I do have a difficult time accepting anyone who is pessimistic or cynical but will look forward to meeting someone who is positive and upbeat, someone interested in living life and again not just observing it. I am not impressed with good looks, credentials, status, or wealth. I am not impressed about material gain, imperfect persons in a perfect way, it is about seeing and knowing the good and bad and still wanting to be a part of a person's life. What makes an impression on me about a man more than anything else is his spirituality, integrity, moral standards, loyalty, and the content of his character. If you think, we may have a meeting of the minds... Let us see where this can take us! I just want to hang out and have fun for now with no expectations. If something special develops, that would be great, and I am ready for it! If it does not, I am cool with just meeting new people and making new friends! I have not set any expectations for anyone or myself that I may meets on this journey. I am a firm believer however in letting things flow naturally, and not placing limitations, whether it be age, ethnic background, or religion. I actually prefer talking rather than emailing back and forth. I am not sure email exchanges are a good way to form an opinion, they are great but limit in the ability to truly communicate. They are so impersonal and so much communication is non-verbal and is lost this way. I feel that a real talk on the phone is a much better form of communication as so much emotion and human content can be lost with emails and IM's. Please remember it is not a commitment but a more efficient means to communicate.
