Twinkly
“Twinkly” is a silly, sweet, wonderful man with eyes that light up a room and a soul that lights up the people in the room. He is a big person on the inside, spiritual without being remotely preachy, smart but fun. He gets along with everyone and seems to have an interest in everything. He is respectful of women, chivalrous, and kind. Whenever there’s an awkward situation, Twinkly comes to the rescue. Or if a party is lagging, Twinkly livens it up. When I was stuck next to a braggart, Twinkly came up and whispered, “I haven’t heard you say a word in ages. Is it because you can’t?” And then, eyes twinkling, he asked for my help elsewhere. Twinkly shines. If I were more ready for a relationship, I would want to be more than the friends that we are. But I’m not, and alas, Twinkly deserves someone who is. Still…I’m lucky to call Twinkly my friend.

Tammy, you are describing Bill when I met him. Why do we women seldom give the good guys a chance? I wasn't ready for a realtionship either when I met him, but it evolved out of a very basic friendship over time, lots of time, and we're still going strong. Oh to have a partner that is your friend first is a true delight. He alwasy told me that relationships that spark erupt into fires and burn out quickly, but slow burning embers of friendship keep the home fires burning. It is true.
