Too often I have seen people so caught up in romance ,they do not know one another as the real person they are. Fantasy, does more dammage than good in the end. I make no expectation, to this effort more than finding a friend.

What is your faith and involvment ?
What do you do with your free time?
Whom has the most influence in your life? Who is next in influence ,especially when things are at their best.
I realize that answers are subjective to elements in a given situation ,but in every day terms,and work a day world situations are the real life we live ,if you can , be transparent . The truth is not hard to repeat It is the lies that are hard to organize when pushed against the wall.
what if things don't work out?
There is no loss either way , you will learn more about your self , and quite posibly have a friend that would be praying for you. Or something very positive develops and still you have a friend praying for you .
