So tell me, what do you like in a guy? I believe each of us has something to contribute on our respective journeys of discovery. Sometimes that contribution is an enduring one, sometimes it is otherwise. The qualities I value most in a partner are the ones that continue to reveal themselves the longer we are together. Beauty style and confidence are appealing and important to me, but without a light than illuminates the inner beauty, the external attraction often fades too quickly. Depth, self-assurance and humility along with a curious intellect can radiate in a woman and bring out her soulfulness. A desire to understand as well as be understood can create a strong foundation for an enduring connection. Knowing what you want and treasuring it when you get it can create a sense of appreciation and contentment that can be irresistible.
