Being able to be yourself.

True love for each other is for the 'real' person.....you need to be happy with yourself to be happy with a partner.

 

[Sophie 378]

I'm not sure how I would order those... my relationship model/criteria just goes something like 1. Do I like him? 2. Do I respect him? 3. Is he disqualified by [list of reasons]?

I'll have a go ... I'm not sure about this, and I think that some of them overlap, and I think that some of them are subsets of each other (e.g., how could you trust or respect someone you can't be yourself with? How can you commit to someone you can't trust, how can you have fun with someone you can't laugh with?)

1. Trust.
2. Respect.
3. Being able to be yourself.
4. Affection shown.
5. Honesty.
6. Laughter.
7. Fun Times.
8. Commitment.
9. Sexual Attraction.
10. Talking easily together.
11. Gentleness.
12. Sharing some of the same interests.

But that means my old flatmate is my soulmate. Why did I let him go to London...why!?

 

[Kozmos]

A girl who is equally crazy as me and will accept me for who I am, a man with flaws and virtues. Also since I'm a God, she will have to call me Lord, Almighty or Kozmos - King of the Universe.

But that means my old flatmate is my soulmate. Why did I let him go to London...why!?

I hope so Perfection, I truly hope so.
