My Ideal Person
What am I looking for? That’s an eternal question which I have no answer for. I will only know the answer when I have found it. Is that too cryptic? Perhaps it is, perhaps it is not.

To me, passion and love is all consuming. I love with all my being … my heart, my soul, my mind and my body. It may be too overwhelming for some, but that’s how I am, and how I will be, for the rest of my life.

I enjoy the company of people who make me feel vibrant and alive, especially if this means discussing ideas that are dear to my heart or allows hidden sides of my personality to come out. I do delight in people who know and understand that in order to share a wonderful time together, it is needless to chat endlessly…yes, there is such a thing as companionable silence.
The person who will make the most impact and lasting impression on me is someone who
•is honest not only with everyone but with himself as well (Very important, for in denying yourself the truth, you are only deceiving yourself into a sense of falsehood which will eventually, spread like a putrescent sore that will eventually rupture and infect all those around it.
•is respectful.
•is kind and compassionate to those around him, especially those who are less fortunate than he is.
•has a quick wit and a terrific sense of humour to match if not surpass my own, for there is nothing that brings two people closer than sharing laughter.
•knows how to communicate, not superficially, but in a clear and honest look-in-my-eyes-and-heart-let’s talk communicative manner.
•is demonstrative and tactile in his affections.
•knows what he wants in life and that the sky is the limit.

(Not necessarily in the above order)
The list goes on and on but I guess that is sufficient for now to give you an idea of the kind of men I can click with.

I try to avoid, at all costs, people who are ‘very black and white’ and are focused on seeing things in one particular set way, not making a conscious effort to keep an open mind, thus endangering themselves to becoming ‘tunnel vision’.
Some people are of the opinion that as long as they eventually manage to balance the books at the end of their labours, it really doesn’t matter how they get there, does it? I, for one, don’t subscribe to that for I do believe that sometimes, the ends do not necessarily justify the means.

At this period of my life, all I am looking for right now is someone who will contribute to making my life fuller and richer, not to add any unnecessary aggravation … There will be NO one-night-standers for that is not my style. I am not in it for instant sexual gratification nor the ‘senseless shagging” for that, I do find, to be as unfulfilling and as tasteless as a piece of chalk. Casual romance and flirtatious encounters are welcome, but ...yes, there is a ‘but’…there has to be mutual respect, absolute discretion and a certain chemistry and emotional bonding before the relationship can progress one or a few steps further.

So, reaching the end of what I have to say, let me emphasise again that I am not looking for a one-night-stand.

Gentlemen, the EXIT doors are to your left and right. Please form an orderly queue and in your haste to run away, please to heed my friendly advice as you step out. Do NOT be so blinded by the brightness of the outside world that you inadvertently step into the path of a passing truck which could spell the end of your life. And on that note, bye for now. Perhaps we will.
