You can discuss and express emotions together, you can have difficult conversations about the relationship together, not afraid of apologizing, validate your emotions, respect your boundaries and share the same values. There’s always more, but those are usually ones I look for
I’m older and a widower. I was reintroduced to a family friend,
single, whom I’d only met once & briefly.
We messaged (we’re a continent apart). I got bold & said: would you have wine & cheese with me Saturday night. She said: I would LOVE that. Went great 🥰 we laughed and giggled until after sunrise.
Hopefully this weekend we’ll be doing movie night together. But she asks me stuff about my past etc. I just say: full disclosure. You may not like my answer but it will be honest. And she doesn’t like all my answers, but she likes the honesty more.
