1. Trustworthiness. Trust is the foundation of a
relationship. Without trust, there is nothing.
2. Happiness. I’m not talking all-the-time, happy-
go-lucky kind of a person. I’m talking someone
who can genuinely appreciate the good times
with you.
3. Clear communication. This is what leads to
trust. Look for this in a partner. Communication
is key — many people have said this, because it’s
true.
4. Self-discipline. The ability to reign yourself in
means incredible presence of mind. That usually
means a calm interior.
5. Ability to see the good in things. An optimistic
person usually means a happy demeanor.
6. Ambition. A good relationship is never
stagnant. Always be on the move for that new
experience. Make sure your potential LTR is
ambitious, too.
7. Respect. Respect for property, animals, other
people. This is key. If they do not respect any of
the three, then they aren’t good enough for you.
8. Compassion.
9. Ego. Too much and you will find yourself
rolling your eyes. Too little and you will find
yourself rolling your eyes. A little bit of humility
never hurt anyone.
10. Realistic. Everyone has some sort of lofty goal
they’d love to achieve, but that’s where reality
kicks in. Being realistic, although it may sounds
pessimistic at times, lets you reflect on your
situation (financial, most of the time). (And for
me, because I’m an idealist, to have a realistic
partner, that’s a real great partnership to have.)
11. Passion. If the person doesn’t have passion,
they have no goals. No passion means no
excitement. That’s not a good thing. We as
humans should be able to be fired up over
something, whether it be sports or pottery or
programming.
12. Sense of humor. Quick to laughter, slow to
anger.
13. Honesty. Lying is never good, especially
when it comes to love. Being upfront with
everything is important — which leads back to
communication as being one of the foundations
of a relationship. If they are honest, that’s a good
sign.
14. You can count on them. Dependability is
crucial. Nothing sours more quickly than a
relationship if you can’t count on each other.
15. Self-reflectiveness.
16. Strong will. A relationship is being able to
survive the rough seas and the strong winds.
Without a strong will, clouds of doubt will form —
and once it’s formed, it’s hard to make it go
away.
17. Patience. A good thing takes time to
blossom. As they say, Rome wasn’t built
overnight. Keep that in mind.
18. Choose someone based on something that
you know will last.[b]1. Trustworthiness. Trust is the foundation of a

Nice one!

Great piece!

Nice list but I have a challenge. It's arduous to find all the above qualities in one person. Nobody is perfect and I think it is sufficient for the person to have most of the qualities above. Having all is indeed unrealistic.

Op, are you incredibly high
To the topic in discuss, I think I will look for some of the listed attributes you mentioned there and at the same time iLook forward to marrying a Delta Girl doe some good reasons

Op,I think u copied n pasted twice , UWC

Orlahmeedey:
Great piece!

*Taps her at the back*

To a nicety precisely,can you pick amongst those list which of those qualities you have up there....if you don't mind me quoting you
