looking for a good friend
I have had sex partners who ended up not being especially good friends, and friends about whom I didnt especially have sexual feelings but really liked their company. Somewhere there has to at least one guy who fills both those bills. So, what does that mean? I grew up on a farm, and never lost the sense of amazement I had as a kid when everything was a mystery and worth thinking about, and I could play under trees or play with and talk to my collie, or try to figure out why cows didnt talk. Simple things still take me by surprise. I have a big capacity to laugh and will look for laughter as a way to try to find the joy in life. I learned from my cousins the kind of male bonding that was to become important as I learned I felt more than just bonding for males. I learned that you had to be honest, you had to tell the truth to each other, and that it was important to keep your word when you gave it. I went to college and did well there, went on to grad school, but became disappointed with what I thought would be the happiest time of my training. I got a master's degree, but went on to work outside my area. So, I learned to think on my feet, and learned that there are lots of ways to resolve matters. It wasn't until graduate school that I decided I no longer had any choice except to be honest about my sexual orientation. I have had a couple of partners, but because I didnt yet feel comfortable with myself, I didnt make comfortable choices. I since have learned to respect and like myself. I like movies, and different kinds of music. I like the beach but love the mountains. I like to feel secure with someone, to know that I can rely on them to be supportive of me, and I like to tell the truth in the kindest way, but still to tell the truth because I know the consequences grow larger the longer you wait to tell it. I like to cook, I
Dont really know what to say here. So Im going to leave this up to questions in person....lol.
I would like my soul mate to
have a good sense of humor, to
be able to look for the silver
lining even when it isnt so
obvious if it is likely to
happen. I would like to hear him
hum so himself now and then,
because it would mean he has
found some peace in his heart,
because that is the sort of
person I would like to spend time
with. I would hope he is
physically affectionate and
playful in private, with little
surprises now and then, if it is
no more than a note tucked
into a pocket or a message left
on my phone at work telling me
he misses me already. I would
like for him to be a sensual
lover, one who knows that
making love is different from
having sex, even when there are
those times when passion can run
so high that it is hard to
tell the difference between the
two.
I would want my soul
mate to have his own passion
in life, something that I can
grin at when he accomplishes
whether it is big goal or a
daily task done well. I want him
to be loyal, loving, reliable,
and most of all monogamous
with me because he would respect
me and love me enough that it
would be the only choice for
him to make.
I like a man
slightly larger than I am, so I
can feel safe when I am around
him. Not that I feel afraid,
but it goes to the whole bit
about wanting to feel that
together we can take on the world.
That he has a sense of us,
in addition to a sense of
himself and of me, and that he will
discuss things where we are
involved as a couple or
partners before making a decision,
just as I would tell him about
something and ask him about
what he thinks. Handsome would
be nice, but that is in the
eye of the beholder.
I guess
that is enough spelling out
for now. For the rest, it is
something to talk about over
dinner and a glass of wine.
