All
I have this in my profile for number 1.
"A strong family life leads the way followed by good friendships.
It is important that my match be as dedicated to building a strong long term relationship as I. Be an equal partner in building the relationship. Will communicate their feelings, thoughts and desires honestly and openly, I can't read minds and my crystal ball is broken. Hopefully the ultimate goal will be marriage.
There are also many other things I care about."
Give me your opinions. Is it too strong? Should I say something differently?
TIA
To me, it sounds a little...stilted.
The strong family life, good friendships OK. The ultimate goal of marriage lets them know you are serious. So far, so good!
The next part doesn't do it for me. I would assume anybody here wants to build a strong long-term relationship. I also assume they will be equal & will make an honest attempt at communication.
Reading minds & crystal balls? To be honest, it's probably fair to say that every woman has heard that from some man at some point in their life. Usually in the midst of an argument...
I'm sure you have your reasons for saying it, but I really don't think she wants to hear it here. Not when she's looking at you with potential.
The many other things, unless enumerated, are of little help.
Here's mine:
Being surrounded by art I love.
Creating a beautiful home wherever I am.
Travel for that sense of adventure.
But I don't even have my Matches turned on. What the heck do I know?
