Friends describe me as deep, nurturing and caring, yet playful, witty and humorous, intelligent, romantic, sensitive, imaginative and creative, unconventional, practical, resourceful, healthy, perceptive and tactile. I forgot to ask my friends for any "less desirable" qualities. Someone once bravely wrote in their profile "prone to depression", but if we were all completely open and honest before even meeting, there would probably be very few contacts!
Although I am able to enjoy my own company, and also need "alone-time", I yearn for a life partner where both of us intentionally enhance the other's development, and health and happiness. This isn't going to happen entirely spontaneously, I feel, without some clear intentions and agreements on how to support each other.
I believe that making "agreements", pleasant ones or more difficult, keeping them, and revising them weekly if wanted, is hugely important in close relationships. I once made an agreement not to be late, and for each minute late I would give my partner 30 minutes of massage. She got some extra massage and I soon started arriving early.
Unless life partners can both support and find joy in each other's awareness and expression of their "life purpose" there will be the inevitable pains of more superficial and selfish motivations. I would like both of us to devote regular time and energy to nurture and truly support the other to grow to this life's potential. For me, this means not just emotional and practical support, but "unconditional" massages, caressing and healing physical contact.
I feel we have to admit to our "shopping list" and "tick boxes" of values, wants and needs, but also decide what we are willing to "give" to our partner.
Do you believe your relationship will be immune from creeping familiarity and "taking for granted"? ...or do you agree that qualities like deep appreciation, gratitude and cherishing each other will, sooner or later, need to be cultivated and nurtured? Just like a beautiful garden, the best qualities can't just be taken for granted, but need loving care and attention to maintain and enhance.
So if you're interested in using, together, some of the wonderful books on enhancing and re-creating relationships, and ongoing expression of gratitude and appreciation, read on...
I love the peace and tranquility of where I live. I have grown my own vegetables and transformed the garden, which is 2 acres, half of it woodland, complete with stream, 5 metre waterfalls and 5 pools.
I've done courses in yoga, meditation (mostly Buddhist) shiatsu, reflexology, Touch for Health and massage and have a library on many other forms of healing including radionics and other forms of "energy medicine".
I am passionate about organic food, and have a reasonably high raw food diet. However, I am not "fanatical" and enjoy cooked food and meals out, especially Indian meals.
I easily seeing the humorous side of human life, including these types of self-descriptions where no-one seems to have any less desirable qualities!
I have a well-developed sense of fun and the absurd, which most people find between amusing to very funny.
I can be sociable, but prefer deeper conversations with one or two people rather than a group.
I'm a lover of the natural world and animals, and so very much enjoy walking in many types scenery.
Adding in shared reading of an inspiring book, or a head massage in a beautiful spot, would make it perfect.
I'm not the stereotypical "Men are from Mars" man although I do like "alone-time" and I prefer using my car compass and map sometimes rather than asking directions!
For example, I'm fairly emotionally articulate, don't need to stifle tears of sadness, and a good listener without needing to "solve your problem" or give advice. I'm fairly self-aware, after quite a lot of personal development work.
I look and feel healthy and fairly fit, enjoying a couple of hours of tennis, table tennis or trampolining 2 or 3 times a week, and would like to re start cycling.
Some of the qualities I would love to find in my life partner would be a strong desire to create good health. For example by using organic food, mainly vegetarian or vegan diet, and mostly use alternative medicine (instead of conventional). Do you have an "undemanding", grateful and appreciative nature (as I am working to cultivate), and feel as interested in what you can "give" as in what you can "receive"?
Are you affectionate and tactile, and willing to risk "not hiding things", with the humility to admit to what is uncomfortable to face up to (as I am practicing) and willingness to work on improving the relationship?
Are you at least as happy to find ways to enjoy being together at, or near home, as by driving to go out somewhere.
What I don't want is someone who is constantly "too busy" to be peaceful sometimes and reflect on life.
I have developed my own business, after a huge amount of time and energy, working from my idyllic home, and with freedom to choose my hours of work.
I have been very interested in a wonderful healing product, which connects you to the Earth while you are sleeping. Otherwise, the only time we are connected to the Earth is going barefoot outside directly on the Earth's surface.
I've converted 2 rooms and a bathroom on one end of my large bungalow, for guests to stay, self-catering on "retreat" type holidays, with access to my library of books on healing, and personal and spiritual development. There are many books I still haven't read! I've also added a caravan which is proving more popular to stay in.
