Okay thanks very much.. I will send you another mail to tell you more about my self soon. Hugs xoxox

I cannot began to tell you how thrilled, excited and honored to see your profile on pof. com. Here is more information on me. I was born in a suburb Berlin Germany. My family immigrated to Australia when I was 5 years old. I became a Australian citizen at the age of 20. My parents are deceased but I have 3 siblings - 2 sisters. I am one of the middle children. They currently all live in Brisbane,Toowooba. We are a rather dysfunctional family since my parents passed away 20 years ago. But we are still family. I have been a widower for 5 years. I have 1 son, He is 21 years old. I work as a Heart Surgeon for 26 years. I am ready to relocate to where ever in Australia, I will find my soul mate. Hoping i have find you.

I joined pof .com Today, because I rarely go out and have no opportunity to meet anyone. When I do go out with friends I tend to hide in the corner with my arms crossed. My friends laugh and inform me that is a sure way of keeping people away! I honestly don't know what I expected when I joined. I suppose I thought that I would see a lot of pictures but not make any contacts. It is true that no one contacted me at all. I got brave and sent out 3 messages. I feel blessed that you were the one person to respond. Nothing would make me happier than to find my true soul mate.

I am a Christian but I'm unsure if I can call myself a good one lately. I love being with my child and spending time with friends. I promise you that I am honest and loyal. I too am sensitive, supportive, a good listener and I am as generous as I am able to be. I am affectionate but am embarrassed to say that I have not been sexually active for quite some time so have no idea if I'm too old for that! :D I am getting back into exercising and eating better . . . and trying to stay away from the chocolate.

I am quite laid back and easy to get along with. But I am shy and a little insecure. I am trying to let go of past hurts and anger. I realize now that I am the only one suffering from those issues, not the people who created them. I tend to form my own opinions about people rather than listening to gossip from others. I'm unsure what love really is. I like to think it is a feeling of compassion and caring. It makes a person want to be there for their partner in every sense of the word. You accept the good and the bad and are able to talk to each other about anything and everything - resolve any issue together in a manner that works for both people. I'd like to think that there would never be any arguing or upset but that is asking a bit too much. But when the upset hits I would hope that it is discussed and resolved right away. I believe that love would always make you put your partners needs and wishes first but without losing your own identity. Love would be total honestly and loyalty. There would be no reason for sadness or suspicion. Love would be walking hand in hand knowing that you can talk candidly to each other or not feeling the need to talk at all - just glance and smile once in a while. Love would be spending time with friends but always feeling the presence of your certain someone in the room at all times. Love could be little surprises or just cuddling while watching a movie. I believe it is a connection that just makes two people want to make it work so they can spend eternity together. Just completely respecting each other. But I do agree that each person would also need their "alone" time. No one wants to feel smothered.

My dream has always been to find that special someone. A soul mate that I can love forever. Life experience has jaded me to believe that would never happen for me. And then you sent me a message. I realize it is too soon to make any real judgement or plans but, believe me, I am very excited and happy at the prospect of becoming a very good friend and, hopefully, we can take it from there. You already have the qualities that I would list as high on my priority list.

I'm sure there is a lot more I could add but I can't think of anything right now. I will be leaving for my appointment in about 1/2 hour but will keep my fingers crossed that there will be a message from you when I get home :) Hope to hear from you soon. Hugs xoxo Always Yours, Mark
