A great friendship, a best friend should be the foundation. You have to really like the person you are in Love with. I think your core values and beliefs have to also match up in order to have a good long lasting relationship. Then just the everyday commonalities in life of things you like to do. Whether it is the beach, biking, skating, movies, or basket weaving you need to like to do the same things. So, me, like you reading my proflie , am not looking to jump into anything quickly. I am truly looking for "the one" (I know he is out there) and Im willing to take things slow and get to know someone to make sure he is the one.
