Put beautifully, and quite moving. And, here, I thought I was the only one shedding tears over chef metaphors for love...it's not about the food, it's "Chocolat". And, personally, I favor Tyler Florence, but Emeril will always have a special place in my heart. I have had similar experiences with the gentlemen of the Food Network.

Protection. Security. Sincerity. Might I add 'love' to the list? That fearful, naked, determined act of wanting someone else's best interests irregardless of how we are apt to benefit or lose from the deal. Really lovely.

Protection.
Security.
Sincerity.

In my view, you are clearly right at some emotional level. The problem is that it can be dangerous for a longterm relationship to be built on that premise. There are lots of guys (like me) with a weakness for wanting to be the white knight. But such relationships can have an inherent inequality that limits their development over time. You need to protect and secure each other, emotionally at least. I admire your self-honesty and your bravery in tackling these questions. Belle, that answer is worth thinking about some more.

'PROTECTION, SECURITY' is much more definitionally specific. however, 'patience and a little love...' is personally nebulous. 'what women want' is defined by the woman adjusted by each situation. i'm sure you have been offered your definitional 'wants' in the past, or certainly the opportunity for them. yet you are a cuspy feminine failure, at least according to your grandfather. 'what women want' is easy to demarcate, yet difficult to execute because it's dynamic, changing, and as the saying goes '...in the eye of the beholder'. the problem, dear Belle, is that not only is the question cliche, but so is the response. the whole love, friendship, et al is usually attached to something along the lines of ‘i just want someone nice, cute, blah, blah, blah.’ ‘PROTECTION, SECURITY’ is much more definitionally specific. however, ‘patience and a little love…’ is personally nebulous. ‘what women want’ is defined by the woman adjusted by each situation. i’m sure you have been offered your definitional ‘wants’ in the past, or certainly the opportunity for them. yet you are a cuspy feminine failure, at least according to your grandfather. ‘what women want’ is easy to demarcate, yet difficult to execute because it’s dynamic, changing, and as the saying goes ‘…in the eye of the beholder’.
