What should you look for in a partner?
Answered by: Cher Gopman, Dating Coach
I think you have to ask yourself first, what is important in your life? Is there any hobby or something that is important in your life that you want someone else to do and have that person included in? So I would first make a list... Also you just want to ask yourself, maybe look back at your past relationships and decide what you like and what you didn't like about them, what worked and what didn't work, so that you can come up with your ideal partner, brainstorm from there.
I would look at bad dates that you had in the past and kind of recognize what you didn't like about that date and what would you have preferred, so you kind of have an idea.
Also I'd say take a personality test. Personality tests are very big nowadays, especially in Google and things like that. So that can tell you what you could be looking for and what will be best for you.
As they think about their life and what adds value to it, what do you hope your future will be like and what type of person do you think would fit into that? What are your dealbreakers? What don't you want? So you know, okay, this is a deal breaker, I'm not going to even go into that. And then I'd say, what's really important to you and ask yourself, is it important if my partner has these certain characteristics?
