Are you a romantic? Watch for clues that s/he sees life through this lens, too. Sunsets, landscapes, a room with a view. Do you see the glass as half full? Your positive vibes will be wasted.

Their Smiles Betrayed Their Reasoning
They met on a beach Not at home but not on vacation Talked about life, relationships, and music Found they had much in common Nothing at stake they were vulnerable and open Isn't that the way it is in the beginning?

If You Knew (Mark My Words)
