It’ll be Valentine’s Day soon and in celebration I thought of this to talk about.
What qualities do you look for in your ideal partner? Funny? Relatable? Same interests?
And for those of you who are dating right now, how’d you two meet if you don’t mind me asking? (I’m a sucker for romantic stories haha) I currently have a girlfriend and I met her two years ago during this summer camp as friends.

Good idea for a topic Mibblez!  My ideal partner would be someone who I have a deep, spiritual bond with and can relate to. While it would be nice to also have similar interests, as long as they are a kind person, relatable and loves me for who I am, that's all that matters to me. To me, someone's personality is more important than their looks.

I suppose these would be the essential elements:
* Has to fully appreciate and understand my love for cheesy retro pop music. I don't think I could handle somebody who snobbishly considers it all corporate garbage and instead pressures me into listening into dull indie guitar music just because it's more "enlightened." I already spent enough of my adolescence feeling insecure about my intelligence just because I preferred listening to manufactured eurodance and pop instead of whatever "cool" indie band the students at my college were crazy about.
* Is willing to raise kids. I've found out that quite a lot of people these days have no interest in bringing up children, with many instead opting to just own pets. Raising a full family is vitally attractive to me, and even if my partner isn't as involved with nurturing the children as I am, I want the option to at least be open.
* I don't think I could handle an alt-righter, sorry. I don't actually mind dating a conservative, but I should at least have a sense that the person I'm with is kind and open-minded and not just looking for excuses to put down minorities.
* Respects my privacy time and doesn't totally nag me over my lifestyle like a parent.
* Preferably, somebody who spends more time listening to music than watching television. I could have endless conversations about music, but I'm pathetically unenlightened when it comes to the telly, and I really don't know how much I'll ever catch up, given my typical life routines.
* Someone who would rather eat out at a pleasant family restaurant than booze out to a DJ every single night. I'm only a very occasional partier and I don't even drink alcohol.
Beyond that, I kind of figure I'd be totally surprised by whomever starts creeping into my subconscious after a gradual period of time, so my expectations from thereon out are loose. I just need to know that I can still be myself and do all the things I already know bring joy to my life.

Well, I have a crush on this girl who is in 8th grade. She lives in my neighborhood. She has everything I look for in a girl. Great personality, similar interests, similar kind of humor, very cute, loyal. We used to talk a lot in middle school at the bus stop. She seemed to be into me the last few days when I happened to bump into her at Target. She had the biggest grin on her face when she look at me. I’m thinking I should send her something for Valentines Day if all works out.

These are all very reasonable wants, including about pop music, it would be annoying to date a person who constantly give you shit for having different taste in something that isn’t the end of the world.

If she has feelings for you, she will really appreciate it if you decide to send her something for Valentines Day.

If you play video games and like Japanese/Nintendo games in particular, you're already 70% of the way to my heart  I think the more commonalities we have, the better. I'm definitely not the type to date opposites! Only personality trait I don't like about me that I'd like my partner to have is to be more emotionally open. Looks matter to me some extent, at least initially. I've tried dating a person who was good-looking but not exactly my type, and it just didn't work. It was instant friend zone. I think you need at least some sexual attraction for the magic to start happening. I'm gay. I met my boyfriend on a dating app. Not exactly the most romantic story

As long as a person doesn't act like a dick to a person that’s not there type then it’s all good XD thats kinda romantic, we all got different ways of meeting

Maybe a little card confessing my feelings for her and a valentines chocolate box will do.

I really don't want to have to meet my romantic partner using online dating. I already experimented with it for over two years, and it was absolutely disastrous for me. It's such a contrived, anxiety-provoking waste of time that fails to really establish a legitimate connection quickly enough due to not being in person. Not to mention, if you're a woman looking for other women especially, you're bound to stumble upon lots and lots of catfish. 2015 was the worst year of my personal life precisely because that was when I learned the harsh truth about Internet dating while still in a completely vulnerable place.
I only had my first kiss and got laid by casually attending bars, not by biting my nails over a bunch of predominantly incompatible maybe-persons who clearly need to take more Ritalin. At this point, I'm completely betting on meeting my life partner through public extracurriculars and gatherings, not by wasting time on OK Cupid.

Hopefully you will be able to find your ideal romantic partner without having to resort to online dating. It's a shame that online dating has essentially become the most popular method for finding a partner. I'm not really keen on the idea of online dating myself, to be honest. This may sound a bit ridiculous, but I don't like how on many dating websites, you literally "swipe" whether you are interested in the person or not. I hate the thought of that. People are emotionally investing themselves into finding their ideal soulmate, yet someone can crush your hopes with a swipe of a finger.

I would have to agree with @slowpoke1993 a bit about looks, I mean if I'm not attracted to you sorry but what's the point lol. Anyways, that's not the most important thing but I would prefer to have someone who is very openminded about trying new things, they have to have a good sense of humour- can't stand being around those people who are really boring and dull and make you feel the same way, and they also have to be respect my opinions. I wouldn't want a relationship where they get to decide on everything in the end depending on what they want or feel, to make a relationship work you need to be fair to eachother and let both people have their say, also they need to be pretty laid back.
