What do you look for in a potential partner?

Not that I am looking for a partner now, but if I were, I would pay attention to how respectful he is to what has been my own history of my adult life. A person who acknowledges life’s crises and happy memories would be a nice companion to share past and future adventures on those evenings of cuddling on the couch in front of the fire (not the TV). I would focus on his adult life, and how he handled his own years. :kissing_smiling_eyes:

Thanks God I already have a partner of 30 years but well if I was looking, he would have to be.

Polite, well mannered. decent. independent, with a good sense of humor and need I to say honest and trustworthy.

I like my partner to make me feel safe, happy and entertained and I try to reciprocate. It worked for us over the years.

Kindness/ self control/ faithfulness/ unconditional love/ patience, those are but a few, I find those great strengths in people.

Another thing I look for is how they treat others …especially those who are at the top of the ladder and those at the bottom of the ladder…in the views eye, of some in this world.

I would like to see them treat everyone equal…because at the end of the day, we all are as human beings…if any partner of mine looked down on others because of their low qualifications/ or low status,…I would most definitely walk away without a doubt.

Edit to add, I also look for “ depth” in a persons heart./ inner being.( as in goodness)

No wonder you never found the right one that is a pretty exacting list of requirements .

Yes, there needs to be that spark that stays forever. Without that spark, it becomes static and you move into a ‘brother and sister’ type role.

Definitely a sense of humour because life is not always fun but a bit of a sense of humour carries you through.

Someone who treats you as their equal and doesn’t become domineering and possessive.

Someone who respects you and with the respect being mutual.

Someone who understands you, will stay by you through thick and thin and will love you forever…

Not a lot to ask really!! :laughing:

Above all else she would HAVE to be Jewish, best yet a non-observant Jew such as myself.

I would look for someone who was prepared to work along side by side with me. Luckily I found such a man 50 years ago.
