10 REASONS......

1. She is independant
2. She is Honest
3. She has a good sense of humour
4. We can talk for hours at a time over anything and everything.
5. We share the same views
6. We are Soulmates.
7. She trusts me, without Questioning.
8. When I hurt, she Hurts.
9. She Cares.
10. She is Wonderfull in every sense of the word........

The list can carry on and on, and I do'nt think that there can be enough hours in thae day or enough paper and thoughts to describe the wonderfull year we have spent together today.......

From America she came a year ago today, and how quick did the months, days and hours not pass.....most important????

Love prevailed and words cannot describe this what we have......

Happy anniversary PAZ... YOU ARE THE GREATEST.........

LOVE ....

OKKIE

1) He has a HUGE heart. Whether it's me or his family or his friends, without a doubt, he cares and will try his hardest to help with anything.
2) He has this black and white sense of morality, and he always does the right thing, even when its unpopular and even when it hurts his career.
3) He has an awesome sense of humor. . .intelligent and sarcastic and playful all at the same time.
4) He is kind and compassionate, to me, to strangers, to animals, even to people he arrests.
5) He's down to earth, humble, even self-deprecating. . .it makes him easy and fun to hang out with from the get-go, and I love introducing to him the people in my life, because I know they will love him. It's impossible not to.
6) He is both generous and appreciative, of everything. . .I know that he doesn't take me for granted, and not a day goes by that I am not thankful to have him in my life.
7) He shares his life with me and wants to be a part of mine. . .He spent almost an entire week with my mom and stepdad in August and actually seems to be looking forward to doing it again later this month. Unprecedented!
8) We want the same things out of life, and we want them together.
9) He lets me be myself. He loves me for me. He never tells me what's wrong with me or what I need to change. And I wouldn't change a thing about him.
10) He's responsible, I respect him, and I trust him to make good decisions for both of us.

Hi Everyone,

It really is so wonderful to read these lists!

With all the beautiful reasons members are sharing about their mate, I can certainly understand why some of you have mentioned that providing only 10 isn't easy!

Okkie: You mentioned that your soul mate came from America. Does this mean that it was an international romance?

Bravethestorm: Love your profile photo and CONGRATS on buying your wedding rings!

trackstar: How wonderful, indeed, that your love enjoys your mom and stepdad and looks forward to spending time with them!

Can't wait to check back and read more Lists of Love!

All the best,
-Renee

Hi Renee

The answer to your Q is yes, it started last year August.

You can read the thread here ; Leap of Faith also many threads in the 40 Something Group that we have posted.

Many of the members here will remember her, her name is Paz.

Kind Regards.

Okkie

10 Reasons Why...

1. He makes me feel alive. He has given me a new sense of me, of what I am and of what I'm becoming and where I'm heading to.

2. He makes me laugh...he's always the light of any gathering...he is so witty that none of us can't catch nor keep up with him.

3. He is extremely honest. You always know where to stand with him.

4. He is my soul mate...He always has the door to his soul open for me and he welcomes me. We know that we have each other and we count on each other for those happy and sad days...those easy and hard days...We like to see how much we have grown together in this past year...such an incredible bond...Together we have discovered what really means: "And the two shall become one".

5. He doesn't give up.

6. He works so hard to provide me such a beautiful life...love his humble smile when I tell him that I am truly grateful for everything that he does for me.

7. Love when he goes to make sure his farm is ok in the middle of a horrible storm...and even though is lightning he takes the time to grab me some those lovely wild flowers we have in the farm. He knows that it will put a smile in my heart.

He knows me so well...he notices any miniscule change in me and he knows how he can reach me.


8. Playing and running in the house like kids...he loves to tease me (the does like to tease the dogs as well).

9. The sparkle in his eyes...

10. He is patient, he's caring, he loves with all he's got and is, he is remarkably intelligent, he has lost of wisdom, he is always uplifting somebody, he encourages people to reach new skies, new horizons, he never says no to a needed person or animal. He is my best friend and I know I can come and share anything with him at any time...

I could write so much of Okkie...Each day is a day that I am so grateful for having him in my life...such a deep and humble feeling to know the true meaning of Love...

Happy Anniversary sweetheart... LIEF VIR JOU !

Paz

I am so torn, with my match it seemed perfect and then I listened to a friend and "blew him off" as he said.
We have no problems and when we were togetner we were so awsome.
he said that he cancelled his membership as soon as we started talking. so did I it was great. Now we are trying it out again, and I just is not as scary anymore.
I was scared of being tricked like he was some lethario, however I think we might make a go of it. It was an instan connection and now I just am not so end all be all.
I fell in love with him and ran for the hills came up with every excuse in the book, in my mind, and when he called for "closure".
I explained why i did what i did and he may or may not be okay with it, The communication is an issue.
He thinks I know more about him than he knows about me.
I told him things about me that not even my closest friends know. He is a lot more experienced than I am and I feel insecure that I can't measure up. I am a private person however social.
I reiterate I fell in love and ran.

Only 10? I can think of a easy 100, and far more than that if I were to really get started.

Hi Mr_Right,

Yes, it seems that many members feel the same way you do about their Love! Don't know if this helps, but how about listing your Top 10 reasons or the first 10 that come to mind? Also, I'm sure if you sneak in a few more, no one will balk at that!

All the best,

-Renee

1) He is kind & gentle with a peaceful spirit.
2) He is a careful and frugal shopper, researching everything and getting the best deal.
3) He enjoys nature and thus spends his free time in ways and areas that I also enjoy.
4) He has good judgment and has never made an unwise decision in the 6 years I’ve known him. (He’s wrong sometimes, but never unwise.)
5) He has really good dog-sense. He “gets” my dogs and they respect him and are starting to like him more than they do me.
6) He reads people well, too. He’s comfortable engaging folks of all ages and from all walks of life, yet he can easily sense a phony.
7) When we’re together, he no longer rolls down the windows and cranks up the volume when Queen’s “Fat-Bottomed Girls” comes on the radio.
8) He doesn’t live like the stereotypical bachelor now, so hopefully he won’t be a slob when we’re together.
9) He is unfailingly generous, patient and kind with my elderly parents as well as his own mother.
10) While he now has refined tastes and habits, he remains connected to his simple, country roots.
11) I respect him and know that my trust will not be violated.
12) Did I mention that he's cute?
