For me getting into a relationship can be a long drawn out process lol. The biggest two are trust and honesty, they go side by side. I also need them not just to be a sexual partner, they need also to be a very close friend that I can be open and relaxed with. I need them also to be able to and feel able to talk to me about anything, that ability to openly communicate with each other is so important for me critical. A sense of humour, they really need a sense of humour and also a sense of adventure, to try new things, go to new places. They also need a lot of patience, as first of all that getting into a relationship bit can be fun and try any girls patience, then it’s being away a lot at fairly random times. Then there are personality traits, obviously she can’t be toxic, she can’t be homophobic or transphobic, not heavily into religion or politics, treat others with a level of respect, for example when you are in a restaurant having a meal, actually be nice and pleasant to the staff. Oh and finally, be active, like or be prepared to go running, mountain biking and hiking.
Everyone says communication is most important. That's true, but the willingness to communicate with your partner is more important than the actual communication.
It is. One of my closest friends was dating a girl, and despite him trying so freaking hard to communicate with her, she was having none of it. She was either a stone wall, or made it all about her
Her mother was one. I don't think she naturally was a narcissist, but she was leaning hard into those learned patterns. If she keeps it up, eventually she will become just like her mother
I've had two marriages, first husband id only known for 2 years before hand and it ended after 4 months when i was very young, and my second husband was my childhood best friend (Very very close) 12 years later i'm still married to him with 2 children.. (i'm only 32)
Friendship is key i think. All relationships and marriages are hard. But if you genuinely like someone and they're company then thats something that can't be beaten.
Other than that id easily say communication. It is very important like everyone says (and someone mentioned willingness and this is very true also) If one party has no interest in communicating, it makes it hard for both of you and can destroy the whole dynamics of a honest and open relationship.
Him telling me that he isn't pissed at me! It seems simple, right lol and would put my mind at ease but most guys won't tell you that. All I wanna hear is, "I'm not pissed at you, gorgeous, I love you! Just give me a few minutes and I'll be fine".
For me, the secret sauce to keeping the sparks flying in a relationship is, without a doubt, communication. It's like the gravity that keeps our planets orbiting around each other smoothly. Whether we're deep-diving into our day or whispering dreams under the moonlight, those conversations are the heartbeat of my relationships. It's all about keeping it open, honest, and sometimes a little flirtatiously fun – guess that's the relationship coach in me talking. 😉 So, if I had to pick just one, communication is my love language, the melody to my relationship symphony. It's what keeps us dancing through the ups and downs, always in sync.
I tried to answer this and I can't do it LOL because for me everything is equally as. Important as the next
I thought of, at least. 50 things and every time I would say one I can't say it because there's something just as important then there's something just as important again. And Again. ...
. I mean even if it's something as silly as as I reach for your hand and I take it I won't say a word but my eyes will tell you everything... And then in that moment you would feel the words in my eyes are telling you...
Nope I can't do it LOL I'm laughing so hard . It's just because I think every second is a moment of its own and to be real you have to be real so whatever it might be in that moment I don't know the good question you have me stumped
My personal experience with my wife was noticing how much ‘feeling’ there was the moment we met. It was just so natural, everything contributed to wanting to get to know each other. Literally an hour later, when we said goodbye, we kissed and I asked for her number. We agreed to see each other the next day. That marked the beginning of our relationship.
I think there are a number of key aspects. Respect is one thing, more so than communication itself. I see so many couples who dislike certain aspects of the other person’s personality and they erroneously assume their partner will change and ‘suit’ their view of what a partner should be. That’s never going to happen. Every relationship involves two different people, each with their own background and expectations. Trying to change the other is never going to work.
Another key aspect is to give each other enough space. Male and female friends for me, female and male friends for her have never been a problem. Jealously, and certainly unfounded jealously, will eventually undermine any relationship. We all have moments where we prefer to be alone and do our own stuff. That doesn’t mean you don’t want to be with your partner. I see it as taking in a breath of fresh air to be able to keep appreciating each other’s presence.
Several years into a relationship, you realize there will be ups and downs. Just accept them.

Respect my family. I don't care if you adore them or even "kinda" like them, just don't disrespect them. They've been there through thick and thin and know me way better than you do. I will defend you, when I feel it's necessary but I will also defend them, when I feel it's necessary. Family is very important to me.
At this point im just looking for compatibility. how well do we mesh personality wise. yeah looks are still important in the beginning but if we just don't go well together i won't hesitate to leave. So compatibility, after that would be empathy, then sense of humor.
Honesty. It's important for a SO to be comfortable to express themselves honestly. For ex, tell me the good the bad and the ugly. I can handle it because I care to be a good person and a good partner. Just don't mess with me in the kitchen. It's my kitchen. I do the cooking lol.
I want someone who has my back. I never felt like fam/friends actually had my back but I always had other ppls back. I want someone who has my back and will defend me to the fullest. Even if im wrong, tell me in private, defend me in public and vice versa
For me.. okay so based on my very limited experience with women, The thing that’s most important for me in a woman is loyalty, the reason is If a woman is loyal she’ll always say the truth, she’ll always be kind, She’ll always care and shows her true intentions, Our communication becomes flawless and at the end this dynamic of the relationship makes me always give my fullest even When the relation comes to an end it would end in the best way you can imagine.
Absolute chemistry, this is the kind of thing that probably involves sex, but not necessarily, it's that person just makes you feel whatever that special feeling is. That's also what sucks about life, you can't explain it, sometimes it's the ideal partner, sometimes some girl you know that I'll waste your time.
I like many…. Just want to be loved and to feel that love. That can be kind words, a simple touch…. A phone call just to say you love me. Life is good when you feel the love of another.
Honesty and communication (including willingness to communicate, not being scared to talk about intimate or uncomfortable topics, and trusting each other that you're trying to fix it together not assign blame)
I believe that a strong relationship is built on clear communication, mutual respect, loyalty, and a deep commitment to staying together, no matter what challenges life may bring.
Number 1 would be mental compatibility and then sexual compatibility which would include how attractive i find them. Although usually its the sexual attractiveness that attracts me to them first lol
@9in_Serpent means no ifs n butts n no doubts n stuff... like me n my partner... we both see other people but we love only each other so no matter wht happens with others we know we r coming back to each other
I don’t really believe it is possible to love unconditional because people are not perfect without flaws to be able to do that. Its kind of like declaring that these puzzle pieces will unconditionally always fit together which can never happen because the puzzle pieces are always changing. I do believe we can all love each other unconditionally as human beings meaning that we can all care for each other’s wellbeing and treat each other with dignity are respect. Although the puzzle pieces may not fit together we can at least recognize we are all changing puzzle pieces in a very big universe and we are all special and unique and deserve to be part of the bigger picture. Not sure if any if that makes sense! Lol 😂
@9in_Serpent thats wht i meant honey... i mean we live each other with our flaws too n we accept them as well... nobody would be perfect ever so love someone with whoever they r
And i get that but lets say if one person really hurt the other person does the hurt person have to love the other person who really hurt them unconditionally? And if yes love them how and in what way?
@9in_Serpent no not really... my partner never asked me not to hurt him... but i just know it myself tht i can't hurt him coz i love him n i can't bear to see him sad
