KML, the reason for my post above, as light as it was, is the truth is... we are all human... there's no "mountains moving and bells ringing"...
THAT stuff... happens IN US... no one else CAUSES this FOR us...
If you DB this... just keep your eyes open and look for consistency in actions...
In the end... we're all just another warm body...
Kaffe - yes, consistency in actions, that's the part I am waiting to see.
At my age, I don't need a guy who will "move heaven and earth" - in fact, I would be a little suspicious of the overly romantic type. Not that I don't believe in love - I do, in deep abiding constant love. But I feel like the overly romantic types are the ones who also burn out and stray when the first rush of infatuation dies.
I'm looking for a guy who likes me as I am, without wanting to change me (my ex was never satisfied with me - Mr. Big Lots seems to think I am just fabulous as I am, which is nice). A guy I can count on when the chips are down - (that remains to be revealed about Mr. Big Lots, although it seems as if he is that type of guy within his family relationships, at least). Someone who is not ossified into old age, but still learning and growing (Mr. Big Lots has broken through his inherent shyness by taking up karaoke singing, I give him credit for that). Someone still capable of a vigorous sex life (check! ).
I am not looking to get married again, but am looking for a steady long-term relationship. I wasn't before, but now I think I am ready for a real boyfriend. And maybe that's why I'm overthinking this so much, because I think he might have potential in that area.
