Well:
- You have to learn who you are to get the most out of your relationships. I am a person who is very loyal, and I found out that most people are not the same way (that goes for any type of relationship). Knowing that, i've learned not to expect too much out of people. When you don't expect much from people, then you are pleasantly suprised a lot.
- A real relationship cannot stand on sex alone/ a real relationship cannot be broken on sex alone, either.
- I am very careful about the word "love", because it can be misconstrued.
...That said, I know there are different types of "love" - and ALL of them have to be present to form a lasting relationship with someone you may wish to marry/civil unionize (whatever you are into (not that there's anything wrong with that)).
- We all want the same things.
- One of my favorite things to do is sit down to a good meal with a lady (or ladies) and have a good conversation. You've got to be able to have that with an s/o.
