Viewpoints). I adore the arts, having been involved in them in one way or another since I was little. Love the movies, walking, long discussions on whatever takes our fancy, quiet ambiance, most musical styling, going to the gym, reading, hanging out low-key or fancy, writing,traveling etc an. I tend towards shyness at times, but when I am comfortable with the people around me, I'm a lot of fun I prefer one-on-ones to group settings (again, unless I know the group well). I like my peace and quiet - too much noise/activity around me can make me anxious. But I can also adjust/adapt quite quickly to new circumstances im involved in church community as well smile. I am deeply romantic, optimistic, hopeful, wise, smart & stubborn. I have a good, honest heart and don't like being lied to. I don't need to be buttered up. If you are straight with me from the get-go, I'm more likely to grow to care for you. If I can't tell where you are coming from and what it is that you really want from me and/or for yourself, then it isn't likely to go anywhere further than this page. I'm insistent on personal mutual respect, kindness and honor. I am affectionate by nature, but believe that trying to sense the boundaries of others shows caring, sensitivity and a willingness to look beyond yourself to see that person instead of only being concerned with your own desires and needs. We all have a right to be selfish at times, but if you are truly going to relate well to someone else, you have to be willing to acknowledge the compromises inherent in any relationship and if you truly care for someone, wanting that person's happiness and well-being should be a high priority.
