What do you look for in a lifetime partner? How to find a lifetime partner? Do you have any specific criterias?

[dynamicyandere]

I look for a beautiful soul and a depth of connection that is so strong that it inspires people.


I find a lifetime partner by continually working on myself, striving to become the best version of myself, and bumping into them along the way. It’s when preparation meets opportunity. That when I find a dream partner, they will see me as a dream partner as well. This means that I will see them as a once-in-a-lifetime woman and they will see me as a once-in-a-lifetime man, when it comes to how perfect we are for each other.


As for criteria, there are 3 things I will always require:
* Chemistry
* Communication
* Commitment


Chemistry. Great chemistry. That means we align in terms of our values and our philosophy about love and relationships and life. We also just vibe and click and understand each other very well. We can enjoy each other’s company indefinitely and never tire of being with each other. Also, romantic and sexual passion and chemistry is very important here as well. We’ll never be able to get enough of each other. We should feel happy and fulfilled spending the rest of our lives together.


Communication. Great communication is a must. Open honest communication. Because 80% or more conflicts or arguments stem from some sort of miscommunication. Either something was not communicated or something was misunderstood. I need to be with someone with excellent communication skills, conflict resolution skills, and the emotional maturity to communicate in a healthy way that protects and nurtures the closeness and longevity of the relationship.


Commitment. I commit a LOT of my time, energy, and attention into my serious romantic relationship. I go all in. And I understand that there will be ups and downs, seasons and storms, challenges and conflicts, and just life, throwing obstacles and curve balls our way to derail us. I need to be with someone who understands and is willing to stick together when things get hard. I want to be with someone who is stick by my side through thick and thin, because I’ll do the same for them, as long as we both are committed to protecting and nurturing our relationship. It’s ride or die. It’s I will take a bullet for you because I know you’d do the same for me. I want something deep and meaningful or nothing at all.


I admit I have very high standards. But, they’re all about depth and meaning rather than shallow and arbitrary things.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

The will to stand up for herself as well as know when to compromise. The skill to change her attitude acfording to the situation and the person.

I expect these qualities to be in myself as well. But there is hardly anyone around me to ascertain that.

I cannot self-proclaim that I have these qualities, right?

[Changiis07]

Basically your best friend, the one you can feel comfortable around and the one you can talk to about anything and you won't feel judged. They are there for you, they respect and value what you have to say. They make an effort and are consistent. Also I look for someone who does not drink and that our values align well. That they will benefit my life not bring it down or be toxic.

[SecretsofKB]

The biggest thing for me is that I want my person to be someone that I can tolerate being around all the time for the rest of my life. I may not tolerate them for any number of reasons, which could mean that it won't work for us.

But if I can be with them nonstop and not feel like I need a break, then that's my person.

[RandomGuy1030]

No one can tolerate being around someone all the time. Admiration requires distance

He made me smile, not because he was funny, but because he was kind. Willingness to accept me, and my history, and a desire to promote happiness. If you can find somebody with these traits, no doubt that individual will be willing to work hard at a relationship. It's important to not lean on them, but work with them, so if that isn't possible, it may not be the most fulfilling relationship.

[SnowedIn]

No longer answering this question -- this is the best answer.

[Emiliamazing]

@SnowedIn you are so kind! The words came easy on this answer, but in reality, it's always a challenge to live out our best advice every day.

[SnowedIn]

That is so true.

But on this, kind lady, you are (as always) brilliant.

I’m not looking for a “lifetime partner”. Even if humans are wired that way, and i’m fairly certain we are not, i’m definitely not wired that way. I’m a work in progress, as most great works are. I can also detect when a woman’s desire changes, as it inevitably does, and i refuse to remain committed to someone who won’t remain committed to me.

[OfMiceandMen]

Compatibility. Do we get along and do I figure we can last. We would have to have similar interests, like to be physical/outgoing. Similar mindset, able to converse intelligently and similar work ethic. Most of all, are they someone I could love being with the rest of my life.

[Miristheiss]

I am married with 2 kids.

I just wanted a sweet, pleasant, easy going person. I wanted someone who shared to same life values I had. Someone who is not a reformed "hoe", party girl.

I didn't care about job or how much money she would make.

[FilmGuy93]

Gentleness, honesty, emotional maturity, good communication skills.

What I look for in a life partner is almost... a sort of "boringness," I guess? It's not that she's actually a boring woman at all; she's phenomenally interesting as a person, but the relationship just feels deeper.

[magiusX26]

i honestly dont. had ny trust broken too much to ever trust close to that level ever again. these days i have recently had a few women try flirting (i think) enough that my very mild aspergers having ass notices and i immediately take steps to shut down any aspirations of it being a good idea to flirt with me.

Sometimes your lifelong partner can be someone you least expect. Which is why encourage giving people a chance, even if they aren't specifically what you're looking for. To a degree of course.
But I think it's someone who makes you feel the most like yourself. If there's anything about yourself that you're holding back around them, it's probably not gonna last forever. Even the bad parts of yourself.

[OddBeMe]

Honestly I think most of it happens naturally, per se. If you meet someone and you both spend 24/7 time together, it’s probably a good lifetime partner.

I mean divorces are usually about the small things stacking up. How dirty you leave the kitchen, towels on the floor etc.

[FreyaRed]

95% of lifetime relationships start in teen age, because the first love can become someone special. Beyond this specific age and emotional attitude of a teenager is seeking for lifetime partner like fishing in a bucket.

[Anonymous]

A partner who can provide and have stability in his life and it's important that I'm able to tolerate some of his personal traits as well as mine too. Over all I look for good communication skills and some common things we can have together to enjoy, intimacy is important but I look for what's deep in the heart and that's way better than intimacy I guess.

I'd prefer someone I can do things with but also has her own interests that she regularly does.

[whirled_up_girl]

I don't know who to put that into words. Though, I feel like I'll know when I've found him.

[BJP21]

Mental stability. Ill top that over anything else. I dont like finding out the person Im with is Mentally/Emotionally/Verbally abusive with no filter. The rest I can deal with.

[Jennz6]

A life partner is someone I can trust and have fun with. I’m not looking for anything right now.

[katestar89]

I want a lifetime partner who is really sweet and funny and very thoughtful and very special. And talented. Very inspiring and very helpful. And handsome. Like same things. Same movies. Same food.

[Paul09]

To have a mental and physical connection. To share life experiences together. Hopefully we have a lot if the same values.

[Anonymous]

It better be loyalty and commitment to the relationship or they won't be a lifetime partner.
