I speak my mind, that's gotten me into trouble a few times and I've had people ticked off with me because they didn't like what I've had to say. But generally, people know where they stand with me. And if they ask me what I think, they know I'll tell them the truth.
That having been said....
I also bite my tongue if I figure that it will benefit no one/nothing by my saying what's on my mind. There are sometimes my tongue gets awful sore. But I walk away (and hopefully peace reigns in the valley for a while longer).
Religion isn't # anything for me either. I have my beliefs (more spiritual than religious), the person I'm looking for will have theirs. Hopefully, those beliefs won't clash but rather offer an opportunity to learn from another's perspective. If they did clash, I would tend to live and let live but if the other person pushed to 'convert' me or didn't tolerate my beliefs, then there would be a problem.
I think Dragongirl nailed the list. I also think that all 6 blend in together and benefit each other. Trust is a big one for me - I don't trust very easily, so when I do learn I can trust someone (with my heart) the rest will follow.
Guess that depends on whether one or both of you can be physically close without becoming attached. I've tried a relationship like this and had to stop it because I was developing feelings for him knowing that he wasn't looking for anything more. If you are absolutely sure there are no sparks....
This, to my way of thinking, is a true 'gift'. I would think that it would move those who are lucky enough to hear it because it was written by someone who could put their feelings into words and music. Others can pick up on that and possibly relate to it when they hear the song - if not the events, then the 'feeling'.
If you can find a connection with someone, yes distance can be a consideration. But if you really make a wonderful connection, wouldn't it be worth it? This has been covered in other threads, but I would be willing to relocate - for the right one. How do you know if they're the right one unless you're willing to take the time and make the effort? Besides, what's so bad about meeting in the middle?
Neither. I can only speak for myself here, a man who is romantic, to my way of thinking is someone who thinks about you, is considerate of you, finds out what you like and enjoys you enjoying whatever that is.
The fun part is that you're doing the same for him.
