It may sound like a contradiction but i think there should be deep intimacy and distance at the same time in a relationship.

I also don't believe in rigid dating rules because we are all different. What works for one couple may not necessarily work for another.

Personally I love deep intimacy and compassion, but plenty of space and freedom as well.

I am not bothered by being in the same room with my partner in complete silence. I love silence.

I am a firm believer that space, solitude, and silence really do create intimacy over time.
