I'd like to meet:

Four stages for a relationship: 1. Casual friendship. 2. Deeper friendship. 3. Purposeful intimacy with integrity. 4. EngagementCasual friendship allows one to observe the character of another in an unobtrusive way. Deeper friendship can develop naturally if two people are compatible.Cultivating a deeper friendship enables people to get to know one another at a less superficial level without the complications of romantic interests. After getting to know someone as a good friend, one can have a much better idea of whether or not pursuing a deeper relationship would be a good idea.In the third stage, it is proposed that a couple should pursue purposeful intimacy with integrity. What is meant by this? The word "integrity" is defined in The American Dictionary of the English Language as: “moral soundness or purity; incorruptness; uprightness; honesty.” We must always be vigilant to maintain our integrity, but it is emphasized here especially because of the temptation to become slack at this time.
