One who won't drive me crazy, or drive me mad...……………..

Absent ones, like sailors. long-distance train conductors or astronauts.

I once had a brief fling with a much younger woman that was Agnostic and progressive on some issues of identity politics, but Libertarian and conservative on economic issues and abortion. I was much younger then and had not yet met my wife. It was probably the closest thing I've ever had to a FWB, but I felt some romantic things for her, tho I doubt that was mutual. Never again with someone who is conservative or Libertarian.

She was probably a hedonist or sensualist.

What is a sensualist exactly? I don't think it is necessarily one or the other. I think a person can be both a giver and a sensualist.

The one that is into me... because I will be into her.

Republicans turn me on.

Perfection,is rare,many times to get a deep love,things must be overlooked or ignored,compromises in any relationships, must be considered.

I had not considered classifying sexual styles in that way, but it makes sense that a conservative religious guy would tend to be a "giver"; that was certainly what my conservative religious upbringing socialized me to be. (Or perhaps that's what I already was and that's what attracted me to the way religion defines male/female roles and interactions -- I'd be tempted to say that if it weren't for the fact I was basically born to it before I was fully formed). In my limited personal experience I have not encountered a "sensualist" and wish that I had because now I think of it, that is the sort of partner I assumed I'd generally encounter, and haven't. Oh well.

I think you're wise to give Bill a chance. If you two can navigate the ideological differences (mostly, I'd suppose, by avoiding discussion in that "vertical" and not trying to change each other or making it a source of disrespect), then his theism is not inherently a problem. In my view, the only problem I'd have with a theist is when they try to make me into one or impose their views on me.

I clicked on Like but it's also a little 'wow'. I would also think that a relationship like the one you seem to have would be frowned upon in his circles unless he is covertly trying to recruit you to the dark side. Good luck with it.

I would have difficulty being attracted or aroused by someone whose moral compass was so profoundly different from my own.

I'm sapiosexual, so although I may feel an initial attraction to someone, seeing and knowing each other's mind and heart, feeling safe and appreciated, and developing a real connection is essential to me before anything else. But once we do, oh heck I'm totally there sexually and all bets are off.

For me it would be comparability, someone that has shared interests and is a good friend. I do have to find a lover attractive as well. I also prefer giving pleasure over receiving pleasure. I'm far from perfect but then again, who is?

You do look happy together.

Girl, you're GLOWING! ?

Aww... Kathleen! You two look good together!!!?

So, THIS is the lucky guy we've been hearing about... You both give me hope!?

Thank you for sharing. ?
