I am a soulful and lyrical individual, confident and intelligent, spiritually grounded, emotionally sound and pure. I am discerning, loving, giving, kind, true & honest, cut & dry, black & white [figuratively speaking :-)]. I seek truth daily, revelation moment to moment and character in all whom I come in contact with. What are the top 5 qualities you look for in people? I always look for character, integrity, whit, humor and strength. These are most important to me. I live an emotionally stable and simple life and like to keep it that way. These qualities in a person, although rare, help to facilitate long lasting relationships of all kinds. What is your biggest complaint about meeting new people? I despise drama and games. I would rather a friend, man, person, be honest with me, no matter what he`s done than lie to me. I know that men always say that that is a trap, but with me it`s the truth. My philosophy is that if you are honest about it, I am more likely to forgive it than if you lie to me about it. I can forgive an incident, but if you lie, then I can`t trust you. No relationship can survive without trust. A good thing to know about me is: I`m very straight forward and honest. I tend to be a little shy with people at first, but give me a little time and I will warm up nicely. I believe that people should get to really know each other on a platonic level before even considering moving to another phase. Intellectual stimulation always increases attraction on all levels.
