I think as an older (a-hem!) person, I look a little deeper, but I'm sure I was attracted to looks as a 20-something. <br />Now I really prize faith. For some reason, seeing people pray and worship can bring tears to my eyes. I'm still not through trying to figure that out. Not sure why it touches me so much..maybe it's the humility? Well, I just know I love that. <br />June Blessings!<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-81875522881656733842014-05-30T23:19:59.309-05:002014-05-30T23:19:59.309-05:00It takes time and seeing the other person in many ...It takes time and seeing the other person in many situations to discern character. The initial attraction is like the cover on a book. It invites you to explore the contents. <br /><br />Of course, there are exceptions. My late husband and I met on eHarmony.com. We did not see a picture of each other until we'd been communicating for over a month. Many written messages and phone calls drew us together as we shared. <br />Susan J.

Society emphasizes outward appearance and it is no wonder that there are so many disillusioned folks in the world. <br /><br />It is tough to pick one character quality, but if I had to, I'd go with integrity. What is that person like when no one is watching? Are they compassionate? Giving? Or does privacy expose another side?Slamdunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087161268629251860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-36255760991160718612014-05-27T15:51:19.827-05:002014-05-27T15:51:19.827-05:00I always do my best to look at the heart of an ind...I always do my best to look at the heart of an individual and not the exterior.

We have to allow it though. We also have to look at the heart of another person when we go through the process of getting to know him or her- whether for friendship or for a love interest. I prefer to be able to know a person's heart than know how good looking someone is.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-1293988735442704222014-05-27T11:35:30.828-05:002014-05-27T11:35:30.828-05:00I think that's why it's hard for me to wri...I think that's why it's hard for me to write typical romance.

It's usually right there. A kind face can make someone ten times more attractive and nice to be around than a movie star, any day!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-46513398872700174312014-05-27T06:32:46.699-05:002014-05-27T06:32:46.699-05:00I look for a beautiful heart, wish the world did.I look for a beautiful heart, wish the world did.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.com
