Authenticity seeking just that, realness

I’m a revert Muslim since 14 Feb 20. My Islamic journey has been really good regardless of lockdown/COVID-19. I’m keen to learn more about Islam. I completed Ramadan, Shawwal and Hajj fasting. Praying is my life line. I’m jovial, happy go lucky and I believe life is a journey not a destination. Therefore, expanding on self reflection is important to me. I read and I’ve returned back to my combat training, which I love. Cycling is my other love, alongside indoors Skye diving, ice skating, socialising, travelling, theatre etc. I often laugh aloud at my own jokes. I do not view dating or relationships as a singular process, meaning it takes two. Therefore, I do not buy into the blaming game. I much rather grasp learning. Allah has a way of allowing ‘ground hog day’ into our lives until we turn on the light bulb, Alhamdulillah. Big question, what am I looking for? I think Allah knows more than me, Marshallah. I had a similar conversation with a female friend. I think what people want and need from a partner is often conflicting and different! I suspect time with patience is the key. A man with patience is a must. A man who has emotional intelligence entrenched in Islamic drive, masculine energy, kindness and peace, without a doubt that is appealing. So, do I know what I really want, I think I and you will know when we embark on a social interaction.
