Just felt you should know me more better and ofcourse on every first date you're suppose to tell each others more about yourselves, right? So let me tell you more about the death of my late wife, Although it's sad to talk about, but i'll try to put them in writing, She was a young (at heart), beautiful woman by any standard. Within two years of being diagnosed with a rare, incurable cancer, leiomyosarcoma (soft tissue tumor). We never accepted the incurable part and she submitted reluctantly to operations, chemotherapy, radiation, and even a experimental drug. <br /><br /><br />She suffered more than necessary, partly, I suppose, because I urged her to get the chemo after the first unsuccessful operation. After that, she accepted every new treatment and many hospitalizations. Sometimes I was relieved that she had to go to the hospital when her blood counts went bad. Still, she was upbeat a good part of the two years and even continued to work right up to a month before she died. There wasn't a dry eye in church when the funeral was held one morning. I grieved and received counseling,but two years ago I went into major depression, so I went on therapy and meds about a year ago, Feeling a little bit better now, and gradually learning to accept the things i can't change. <br /><br /><br />It's nice reading from you and knowing more about you. You write me like we've been friends forever, You're such a polite and friendly lady and i must admit that I feel so excited writing more about myself and reading more about you. I've been living a lonely and both sad and happy life since i lost my wife. I'm sad that she's gone and there's no partner to comfort and make my house feel like a home again, and I'm happy that I've a son to look upto, My son has been the source of my happiness and joy, and i have a good job that keep me busy often. Talking about finding a perfect match around here, Since i lost my wife years ago, I have been so emotionally down, hence I didn't deem it necessary to find my dream woman. <br /><br />Your picture is so amazing, I love those smiles on your face, I am honestly overwhelmed at the fact that you're a very passionate person, and I love the fact that you're a very honest and down to earth lady. Sinilsun, Honestly, I would really like to know you more better, and keep in touch with you very often. You captured my heart with your simplicity, hence i want us to be best of friends. I would love to share my view about what I look forward to in life with the right partner. I'm a single dad with a loving son. My son has been the best thing that has ever happened to my Life, and i thank God everyday for bringing him to my life. I would like to meet a lady who will see my son, as her own child, love and treat him kind. I would like someone that will love and respect me for who I am, that likes to hold hand and surprise me with a little kiss when I least expect it,or give me a wink from across the room to let me know she's thinking about me or give me a call just to let me know she's thinking about me...Because I will be doing the same. <br /><br />I would love someone who is fun to be around, likes to laugh, joke around, enjoy being outdoors going for long romantic walks, enjoys looking at the stars at night, and watching the sun set and rise over the ocean. I am looking for someone that enjoys the simple things in life, just as I do. I would like to meet someone special that I can grow old with, and that we can always look into each others eyes and know that the love between us is just as wonderful and exciting as the day we met... I want to love a woman for who she is, to spoil her, and love her, and let her know just how much she means to me, by the little things I do or say to make her feel special. while at the same time she treats me in the same way with love and respect. <br /><br />I'm really looking for Someone Honest, Caring, Romantic, Kind, Posses Great Sense of Humor, Loyal, Affectionate, Passionate, Understanding, Intelligent, Respectful and Trust Worthy... I’m searching for my life long partner to share a Great Life of Love with; romance, long slow kisses, feeling very special, intimacy, spirituality, pleasurable communication, dancing, meeting of the minds, opening a door for you, flowers, traveling and other exciting interests and adventures, A GREAT LIFE of LOVE! <br /><br />I'm a man one who strongly believes in respect and that without respect, you can’t experience true love and generate a healthy relationship. I believe in a smaller “wow” when it is first a friendship and then a larger “Wow” later as it evolves into a Beautiful Loving committed relationship. I believe it’s not just what you are like on the outside, but more about what you are like on the inside. I’m seeking friendship first, (no game playing please) with someone who appreciates some of the same temperaments and interests I enjoy. That special someone is a woman with integrity, is spiritually compatible with me, having similar beliefs - and is responsible, intelligent, has a sense of humor, positive, is clean and neat in habit and appearance, romantic, passionate about living and loving. I would prefer that someone to show interest and be supportive of my spiritual work . I like an adventurous person who likes travel, nature and enjoys being home.she is a woman who is at peace with himself. I am hoping to connect with people of like minds to form friendship first and then leave the rest to the Universe.. <br /><br />I'm a gentle soul, quiet and certainly not what most people would assume - a social butterfly. Instead I'm the quiet watchful, listener who will provide you with a listening ear after a tough day, and not judge, or assume or tell you something that get you mad. I also wish to let you know that I'm a very straight forward man, I don't go beating round the bush, What i write is what i mean, Nothing more, nothing less. <br /><br /><br />Please take your time to tell me more about yourself and your thought too. <br /><br />Thanks for your time & God bless you.<br /><br />Forest D Shields</p>

첫댓글 흠~ 사람 고유의 가치를 중요시 하는 서양인들에게 어필~ 토마토님~ 드뎌 세계 무대로~~^^ 다음엔 짧고 간략하게 써달라고 하세요~ㅋㅋ 한마디로 "사귀고 싶다" 그 말 같은데요~~^^
선남 선녀가 아니라서
구구절절이 적은듯 합니다.
자기 소개부터 시작해서
부모님.가정사까지...
@토마토 다음엔 간단하게 "만나고 싶다" 일케 써 보낼듯요~~ㅎ 산책 카페 토마토님 방 알려드리시죠~ 울 산책도 덩달아 국제무대로~ 외국인 최초가입~~^^
@프리지아(바다) 아마도
친절한 우리 산책님 한분이
이 글을 번역해 주지 않을까
하는 마음이 들었답니다.
재주 많은 님들이 많으니...
