I like soft, warm lighting, it's all about that inviting glow! This is no time for harsh overhead lighting, or fluorescence of any kind... light has such a big impact on mood and comfort, it's the very first thing I make sure to take care of when it comes to romance! You wanna feel cozy and relaxed, and dimming the lights goes a long way towards getting you there. Second, I don't like to have any distractions - I like to put my phone away, definitely no TV. We all know about

How much fun are they?! They're sexy, silly, and add such a fun twist... right up my alley. Getting all dressed up always feels like an adventure, like stepping into different, more whimsical and sexy world. If you've been following me on Twitter, you know that I love costumes and have a whole bunch in my ever-expanding personal collection.

I love discovering how touchy-feely you are, I'm an absolute cuddlebug. I love hearing your goals and dreams and opening up about mine - we all ha

Confident, assertive ones? Shy ones that let me take the lead? Well, confidence and the ability to be assertive are always a plus, they're a big part of effective communication. But what I value most are good listeners who are gentle and empathetic. We must ask questions and listen carefully to each other's answers in order to learn each other's preferences and boundaries. We must approach the other curiously and openly, giving the other enough space to truly be themselves. I

Connection, and everything that entails. From the fragile, tentative start: who are we? How do we fit together? What can we say and do to reach out to each other, to touch each other, to leave a beautiful impact? I love this process, the rush and excitement of new beginnings. I have even come to embrace the nerves, the uncertainty. The questions we ask with our words and bodies, the answers breathlessly anticipated. I crave discovering how we fit together, what we have in com
