Do You Even Really Know What You Want From A Partner In A Relationship?

Question

I've been listening to a few of the Teens and 20 somethings at work talk about their relationships lately. Just like G@Gers, they often wonder about what their Partners want from them or how to explain their woes to their Partner. Yet most of them fail to really think about what THEY want from the other person. So think about seriously for a moment, Do you really know what you want out of a Partner?

Yeah, I think I've come to get a better idea of what I want in a relationship after going through so much, both good and bad, with my boyfriend.
I could list the usual things like being complimented, taken out for dinner, yaddayaddayadda.

Ultimately, though, it all comes down to feeling wanted. To see through his actions, and not just words, that he does really care about me. Whether he shows that through simply going out of his way to pick me up if I'm bussing somewhere and it's pissing rain, or buys me an expensive gift, is beside the point. I'd probably actually appreciate him going out of his way to give me a ride more than a gift as it takes just a few seconds to swipe your credit card and woo me with something that I'm perfectly capable of getting for myself, y'know?

I want someone who can love me for my imperfections and that I can love for his. I would need his full commitment and monogamy, and I'd give him mine. He would have to be somebody that could give me something I can't give myself and would be able to take care of and protect me and share all of the love and trust we would deserve for each other. He would have to be able to connect with me on a psychological and emotional level that most people can't. And we'd be able to work through problems in a healthy manner and otherwise keep an open line of communication between the two of us.

I refuse to settle for anything less and would rather be alone than be with the wrong guy

Yes. I had a pretty solid idea of what I wanted in a relationship and I've always worked to be a worthy other half to the type of man I wanted. It has paid off.

I do know. We both know. If you enter a relatioship while recognized your true feelings, your lifes, your goals and your identity, then you can easily understand the concept of your relationship and identity of the partner.

One thing that leads to everything! Communication. It took us from just friends to best friends to lovers to a relationship and ending it by getting married. After almost 9 years, we still kicking it hard, we know what we want from each other and how to do it.

Partner!! I posted a question awhile ago seeing how many people were irritated by the term 'partner' being used when it comes to relationships and pretty much everyone said they hated it. Just say girlfriend, boyfriend, wife/husband, someone you're interested in or dating. That's my rant though say what you will.

Anyways, I really do know what I want. In my opinion people are unsure until they get older and have been through several relationships. Just my two cents.

Lol you do know what the guy said could have just been in a goofy sarcastic manner.

But yes I always know what I want in a relationship from my partner.

Doesn't mean I won't pull goofy moves like the guy in the picture and act oblivious to what's going on even though I really know.
