Finding a serious relationship can be difficult in the age of the booty call. So, I’ve thrown together some KEY ATTRIBUTES to look for. Read more after the jump!
Loyalty
This seems like a pretty obvious characteristic. However many of us compromise this for the sake of companionship or some superficial reason. Loyalty and trust are major factors in ALL relationships especially romantic ones. You want to be able to trust what your partner tells you. You also want them to be loyal to the extent that you don’t have to guess about their dedication to the relationship. You’ve heard the saying ‘without trust you have nothing’. And it’s true!
Responsibility
This trait is usually a sign that the person possesses a high level of MATURITY! For example, you want someone that is able to hold down a steady, LEGITIMATE job. Someone who can pay their own bills and live up to any other commitment they obligate themselves to. Relationships are a LOT of work and require two RESPONSIBLE people!
Communication
Seek out a person that is an open book to you. Someone that is good at communicating is more than likely going to do well at maintaining a HEALTHY relationship. And not just good at communicating about hobbies and sports. You want someone that can articulate their feelings, good or bad, in a productive manner. The last thing you want is someone who bottles things up and explodes once they reach capacity.
Compatibility
Compatibility doesn’t mean being the carbon copy of your boo or even having the same hobbies. This simply means you both have the same morals and values. Similarity in ethics is ESSENTIAL for a healthy relationship. For example if the guy or girl you’re seeing has ever SPIT on someone and you deem that a dispicable act, you two are going to have some problems. It isn’t just the act of spitting on another human being, you understand that spitting on someone is normally a sign of other MAJOR character flaws and ultimately some very huge differences between you two.  Sharing that common core balance is essential for that UNIFIED feeling.
Drive
When looking for a gal or guy to call your own, look for someone who is first their OWN PERSON. Drive is a major part of being an individual. Someone’s personal goal is in some way a depiction of their self value. Not only that, its shows that they are able to stand on their own two feet. There’s something to be said for a person that is A-OKAY with being by themselves. Most people with drive don’t have time to hop from relationship to relationship because this would distract them from their goals. So when you find someone with ambition that stop to get to know you, you know its forreal.Â
