I see what we both are looking for in a relationship .. a partner .. a friend .. most of all the truth ... Seems so simple but not for most .. they tell you what you want to hear. My motto is I would rather have you hurt my feeling with truth than to spare my feeling with a lie ..... I treat people with the up most respect ,and expect the same back .. I learned because of my long term commitment to my ex-wife it was about wanting to be with that person in good times and to get through the bad times. Its about being together because you want to, not because you have to. This is not about being with someone just for now or until something better comes along..I go for long road not the short ride .... I have high expectations for my self and any one in my life ... This isn't about material things or money .. that doesn't buy you real love or happiness ... I have always been independent even when married..no one person should be responsible for another persons happiness ,I believe it's up to yourself to make that happen ... I'm looking for that love and won't settle for less .. I know what real love is ..I'm not going to play games with your feelings or mine ..We have our family's which is part of us and they are just as important when someone comes into my life .. I hope you can feel in my words about trust .... and truth .. they go hand in hand ....... I hope you understand me...I think we both have come across with our wants and needs in a relationship, I think we are on the same page ... this seems to be a good start .. we can build from here ... a good foundation starts a good relationship...Still interested ....???? hope so..lol
