| She didn't flake. She wrote me, apologized for not responding so quickly. She told me three interesting things, one being deathly afraid of jellyfish, so I asked why? I asked her what makes her happy, what she deserves, all kinds of eliciting values stuff. I asked her what qualities she looks for in a man and what's important to her in a relationship. She repllied:
"qualities, im most attracted to big arms, i want to be with someone who i know can protect me, granted i can hold my own but sometimes i want to know that someone can stand up for me, these 2 questions kind of go together, i want someone i can trust, someone whos compassionate and has goals in life. communication is also a huge thing. i dont read minds so unless you tell me whats going on how am i supposed to know. i want someone i can be comfortable with, im not a big going out type of person, i would rather lay on the couch and watch movies in my pajamas. i want someone who wants me for me, cause i aint changing i am who i am, someone who wants to be with me and only with me and someone who supports me especially me being in the army cause its one of my biggest passions."
I responded with:
"You're right, security is a huge factor in a relationship. The more you tell me about yourself, the more we have in common. I, too, am not a big going out type of person. I prefer small, intimate settings, like hanging out in a small group, or so, watching a movie or playing games, etc.
Of your qualites, trust, goal-oriented, and comfort. Question one, how do you know you have them? That is, what happens to let you know those qualities are being met in the relationship? Question 2, rank them in order of importance."
She hasn't responded yet, but I feel she's jumping through all of my hoops. How should I proceed to getting her in state, etc. etc.?
