Today, October 2, is Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday. It is a national holiday, Gandhi Jayanti, in India. And you are perhaps wondering, “What does that have to do with dating and relationships.”
Actually?
Everything.
Because you see, although we are list of all those attributes
height
weight
body type
education
hair color
eye color (will some people only marry someone with blue eyes? I’m wondering about the importance of that one)
career
city/metro area
age
race
ethnic make up
Those all but a list of THINGS.
We have a SPIRITUAL ESSENCE as well. This is not about getting religious or anything. In fact rather far from it. No doctrinal discussions. Part of what draws us, attracts us, magnetizes us to others is the quality of their essence. Their Spirit.
I was just over at wikipedia reading about Gandhi in respect of his birthday for the country India. And I have to say I really loved the homely looking photo of him which was the main photo at his profile there. He had been a good looking man when he was young. Or at least I think he was handsome then. However, really, he got sort of homely looking. Which I think is a really good thing. Because as he aged, he became more lovely. More people came to love him. More also came to hate him and threaten his life. My point being, his genuine self and essence really shown from him. And made him more beautiful in the energy and essence he emitted. And those who loved him, LOVED him for it.
As we allow our real self, our best self to develop, go with our strengths, yes, wear make up, clothes that project a wonderful self-care image of ourselves, while allowing our spirit to project. Those who should find us attractive, are indeed attracted to us because their energy compliments ours.
So, for singles, yes, you are a composite of all of those LISTS of attributes for your dating profile. AND you are a spirit and energy here whom others will be attracted to for the very sake that it is YOU!
So do be YOUR most magnetically attractive and you will attract YOUR Soul Mate. Online and in life.
Happy Dating and Relationships,

You have a wonderful spirit and energy that shows.

When it comes right down to it I think we love the spirit within the body. Ironically this has very little to do with the search criteria on dating sites which seem to be a set of circumstances within which we will permit ourselves to love.

Hi Lynn,

Hi Robert,
I’m laughing. Exactly! My silly sense of humor at this hour is thinking, yes, just the eyeballs please. The blue ones! As if that is love or a relationship.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Hi Keri,
I love the old style wedding vows. “With my body, I thee worship…” for we are spiritual beings enjoying a physical existence. The physical is our expression for love.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting at my blog.
April
You are your totality. You are your total spiritual expression.
And your cute bunz.

The spiritual side of a person is the lasting part. I would think it would be tough to convey this in an online ad. The person who claimed to be spiritual probably isn’t. For this you need to date.

One of the points Bob Proctor repeatedly makes is that we develop a unique vibration and this vibration attracts like vibrations. Bob is not the only one, of course, April just made the same point.

the inner part of a person is what adds the complexity to a relationship. And this leads to lack of boredom. If you see a couple that talks to each other you are seeing a healthy relationship.

I love the term “Soul Mate”!
Human love is usually the personality love. And then, love is not an emotion but a motivation or addiction ….

I love people who actually blog, it is very difficult to get this kind of quality dating information just about every other way. Top-notch work. How can we find our Soul Mate?
Getting to the heart of it is the best with love.
