Three Things You Want in a Relationship

If you’re like me, you have not been in a serious relationship for your entire life and may not even be considering being in a relationship because you are focused woman that knows what she wants. But if you are like me, you may be focused but once in a while can’t help but think about what your life might look like if you had a significant other. That brings the question, what am I really looking for in my partner? The list is long but I will highlight three things that I am looking for in a significant other, that you might be looking in a partner as well.

 

  1. Communication: This is such a basic thing but so effective that if not taken into consideration can really cause problems. Let me know what’s happening in your day so that I can plan accordingly. That way I’m not worried about anything that might happen.

  2. Trust: This is such a big thing for me. I am such a trusting person and get so confused when people do not have that type of relationship with me. But trust me, I only want what is best for you. 

  3. Commitment: This is a two person boat; if there is no commitment, the boat will be in the middle of the lake for a while, getting nowhere. I want someone that I can grow and learn with. Someone who, no matter the circumstance pulls through and tries to keep up.

 

These are just some highlights of a long list. Of course, if I expect you to have these things, I will reciprocate that and adapt to you as well. Do not be afraid–relationships are scary but don’t let the thrill of the ride stop you from enjoying yourself.
