Generally speaking I would characterize myself as pretty much mainstream but with a few (fun) twists along the way. A good Communicator yet quiet at times, Spontaneous but methodical and Open though cautious at times as well; however, always respectful of one's boundaries. It's interesting to me and perhaps frustrating as well that men and women can sometimes use the exact same words / phrases whether they be verbally expressed, written or perhaps simply with their body language; however, the actual interpretations can have, at times, the opposite of meanings. Even with that being said if both parties do not invest the time to listen carefully and try to understand then their efforts will surely be in vain. My definition of a loving couple if, in fact, anyone can actually define the experience, would be two people with separate lives yet who enjoy the journey together. They are genuinely interested in each other's ambitions but are not necessarily involved with them. They remain caring, secure, loving and concerned but not consumed.
