They should be willing to share themselves. For instance, if you are really nice and the nicer you are the more the person takes advantage...leave. It's not that you should 'keep score' in a relationship, but if you give and give and never get, then that is not a good match for you.
The other person should be dependable in every area. Can the person hold a job? Does the person call or show up when he/she promised? Does the person have a lot of unfinished projects in life, including dropping out of college?
The other person should have a history of good relationships with others. If he has a whole string of stories about not getting along with relatives or about the bad things 'friends' have done to him, then it is NOT everyone else - it is him.
The person should be emotionally healthy. Is the person prone to depression or jealousy, or does the person have multiple childhood hurts that have not been dealt with?
Look also for someone with similar interests and values. If he spends all night talking about sports and the last sport you played was teeball, don't sit there and suffer - find someone else. If he is prone to small dishonesties that you would never do - you do not share core values.

Which ones are important to you? Typically a successful relationship requires honesty, communication, and trust...there may be many other things that are of high priority to you, but those 3 are kind of a bare bones minimum for any relationship foundation...

there past history with relationships,do they carry alot of baggage. are they actually ready for a commitment? do they want the same things as you do in a partner? what do you two have in common? what are both of your goals and do they coincide with each other? are they financially responsible? if they are in a rush, its not going to work. it takes time to get to know someone in a way to make up your mind to say "I Do" i could go on and on but you get the idea, right?

the ones that are more important to you and work with your own characteristics.
for example.. some people think smoking is a deal breaker if they are a non-smoker..and other's don't..what works for you?? that's the important stuff. make a list and then sort it wo which is most important to you.

well first they have to be trustworthy and honest, I look for someone that I can talk to about anything and not be embarassed or worried about what they think. Someone you can be comfortable around.

the best one is if they make you feel accepted for the real you...if they make you feel loved for the real you...if you feel valuable as a person when with them... do you feel desired?.... and if you do have all those the last will happen...touch and be touched...

Someone who loves you for you. Someone who cares about you and will be faithful and honest with you. Someone who would never abuse you. Someone who cares about you. Someone who makes you happy and not sad.
