I'm not a dating coach but here's my theory ladies... (and gents)

🩷 Reflect on what qualities you want. Mine are generosity, devotion, innocence, happiness, purity of heart, humility, thirst for life, simple, kind, loves his mamitchka, etc.

🩷 Zoom in on his/her face and look for those qualities. Look for evidence of a life lived like laugh lines/ wrinkles, proof of previous struggles and laughter. Look at the eyes.

🩷 Do everything first!!! Message first, call first, hold hands first, say I love you first, etc. If both people have this attitude, no one is ever waiting, and you have a total reciprocity. No taking turns. Just a clear path, no games.

(Be open to things that can be overcome like distance or language or cultural differences or minor looks preferences.)

✨️How did I know he was the one? When he taught me to say I love you in Ukrainian and Russian on the second phonecall🥰

🫤I’m still waiting for another face to click like this one. But now I’m just dating to enjoy life and improve my languages 🤣

🥹You can't see it here but my love has blue eyes. One of my strong preferences lol.

Thanks to Svitlana Slota for capturing his smile before I even knew him. This photo led to our first date.
