What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

PrincessPie s

I've been single a while now and this is probably the longest period I've been single since i've been dating, i've been in abusive relationships, and some ones that started out great but i've thought more deeply about what i'm looking for, and these are some of the things i would like, I don't personally think i'm asking for much but i'm sure there will be some comments about how unrealistic this is anyway lol.

Also, Some of these points are just things i'd like and i would not expect, lots are NOT DealBreakers.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

1.) Loyalty.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

It may sound a stupid one but majority of the relationships i've had i got cheated on, and i think this one is at the top of my list, i'd like to find someone who wouldn't betray me, I personally could never cheat on someone as i know how horrible it feels, being loyal is so important and is almost a rarity these days, i always have my utter respect for people who have been together 50-60plus years and have always been loyal to one another.

2.) Will Take Me On Surprise Dates.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

Most guys i've been with i went on some dates with, but i was always the one arranging everything, i never had a guy actually take me somewhere out of the blue without me asking them or putting the idea into there heads, i am a hopeless romantic and would love a guy to arrange something sweet like just a picnic in the park or a day at the zoo, it doesn't need to be anything fancy, Just would be nice to have a little surprise every now and then.

3.) Not Be Sexually Pushy.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

This one is important to me (i was a victim of sexual abuse) Which i have stated before on GAG a few times, it takes me a while to get comfortable sexually with a guy, I have only slept with men i've been in relationships with and most of the time it takes me at least 2-3months to actually have sex because of certain reasons, i want a guy who respects that and will be happy to wait until i feel comfortable, as that shows to me he cares and has consideration for my feelings and i will enjoy our first time more, than feeling like i'm doing it to stop being pressured about it.

4.) Protection.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

This one is important to me, i want to know if i'm in a dangerous situation a guy will do his best to make sure i'm okay and safe, no i don't want a bodyguard, i just want a guy who will look out for me, like i would do the same for them.

5.) Respect My Space.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

My ex fiance gave me no space, i literally had to be texting him constantly for him to be happy, even at work i had to text him at least every hour which made it hard for me on some busy days, i couldn't watch a movie at home because if we weren't together he'd bug me, honestly i had no time for myself, the only time i felt like i had time to do anything was when we were actually together as he was less clingy and calmed down, i really would like to find someone who respects my space as i do there's and know i can't be there 24/7.

6.) He Likes Animals.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

One of my biggest turns of is a guy who is cruel or dislikes animals, i don't need to be with a hardcore animal lover (i'm a meat eater, not veggie or vegan) but i know for a fact if a guy is not into animals its going to make me assume were less compatible, one of my exs hated dogs, and use to say cruel things about that (even though claimed he was just joking when he said something extreme) it put me off him.

7.) Is Easy Going.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

I want to be with someone who is not going to get offended if i make a joke, is laid back and chilled, can have a laugh with me and won't get offended by everything, i couldn't be with someone who couldn't laugh at himself, i need to be able to have some banter with my partner as that is important to me.

8.) Small Meaningful Gifts.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

I am someone who really appreciates hand made things, people who take time to make something for me, it means a lot to me and i treasure things like that, i think it would be nice if my partner wrote me little notes or from time to time made me something, as i do stuff for them too and would appreciate it if they liked these things, as i would do same for them.

9.) Likes Taking Pictures/Photos.
What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

I love taking lots of photos with my partner, whether we're going out somewhere nice or just having a chilled day, i like to get as many photos as i can, as that is memories to me and i really enjoy looking back on them when i'm missing them or they aren't around, some guys i've been with were just the same as me, wanted to take lots of photos with me and would be fine doing it, others got annoyed and said i take to many lol, so i just want someone is okay with that.

10.) Excepts Me For Who I Am.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

I'd consider myself a unusual person, i really am not the average person you meet, and i don't mean that in a good or a bad way, but i want someone to except my little weird quirks, and be with me because you like me and don't want to change me as a person, i don't want to be made to feel bad, and excepting me for who i am brings me closer to them

11.) Be A Good Kisser.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

I love kissing, its probably one of my favourite physical things to do with my partner (bar cuddling and sex) Kissing someone passionately and you can loose yourselves in one another is amazing to me, so if they aren't a good kisser in my opinion (its going to be hard to over come) i want someone who enjoys making out as much as i do.

12.) Buys Me Flowers/Chocolates.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

If you remember what i put at the top of this page, these aren't all deal breakers, this is just something i have always liked receiving from a partner, most guys don't seem to do this unless its valentines day, but i think every now and then it is really sweet, and makes me feel appreciated, i would love to do the same types of thing for them.

13.) Can Sit Around And Do Nothing.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

I don't mean literally nothing, But i really love just being able to chill out and relax with my partner and have a lazy day with them, this is on the list as i've noticed some people can't sit still and need to be on the go the whole time, i love to get Netflix on, and have a movie day and we can relax under the duvet and snuggle.

14.) Honest.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

I have been we soooo many liars, and i'm not talking about small little white lies either, the big kinds which really do matter, Honesty i respect greatly, i'm a very honest person in general, i honestly do rarely lie, i have been told on many occasions i'm too blunt and need to stop being so honest lol, but its who i am and i am proud of that, so many people don't have these beliefs, i'd rather be with someone who said they hated my outfit, then said they liked it if they didn't, i respect honesty greatly.

15.) Best Friends.

What I'd Like To Have In My Next Relationship

I have had relationships before where my partner was my best friend, that didn't last, things changed but being close to my partner in a friendship way and not just a romantic way is pretty important to me, i want to be able to share my life with them and them share there life with me, i want to be able to laugh together and have fun just chatting as we would doing anything romantic.

I can think of more but going to leave it here before it gets too long :)
