Do you have an ideal partner sketched out in your head? Perhaps you have a
shopping list of “must have” traits. If so, you are not alone. The
most common characteristics people want in their partners include honesty, intelligence,
sense of humor, openness to new ideas, stability, communication, common hobbies
and interests, and willingness to work on the relationship to make it succeed.
Though men and women might seek similar traits in a partner, research has
demonstrated that each individual focuses on different qualities. Men typically
want a relationship that allows autonomy, while women look for a sense of
connection.

To begin your quest to find the right partner, think about the traits and
behaviors you prefer. Most people automatically think of superficial traits
such as “height” or “blue eyes.” Though these traits
can be important, other traits are more important when it comes to having a
healthy, long-term relationship. Here is a list of some important qualities to
consider:

Commitment to personal growth

Is interested in learning how to be a better person and spouse.

Everyone wants to love and feel loved in return. But being in a relationship with someone is not always enough. Very often romantic love fizzles out over a period of time; even though both partners are committed to each other. After a while the 'I love you', gets monotonous so you need to find other ways of expressing your love to your partner.

Some of us instinctively know our own love language and that of our partners, but other times it's hard to figure the best way to show your love. Think about what makes you feel most loved by your partner and what you desire more than anything else. Do you like it when your partner compliments you often? Do you feel special when he/she goes out of his/her way to do something for you? For some lovers just getting some alone time with their partners is more valuable than being showered with gifts. Try and figure out what makes your partner happy from the following list and then show him/her how much you really care.

Positive Re-affirmation

Words of affirmation are more than just compliments - they are ways of expressing your thanks and sincerity to your partner. Sometimes despite being in a very happy relationship partners need a little reminder to know how much the other person cares. If you are the one in need of some affirmation, tell your partner that it makes you feel more secure knowing that he/she loves you. Compliments are always appreciated, so next time your lover does something for you reward him/her with some sweet words.

Quality time

The question of when to pop the question has long vexed bachelors. Now, statisticians have devised a new formula that they claim will help men decide the right time to propose marriage to a potential bride.

An international team has come up with the formula which uses the 'theory of optimal stopping' – a sequential decision-making process used in finance and medical trials to pinpoint when to take an action to maximize expected rewards and minimize costs.

According to them, the probability formula suggests that men should propose marriage mostly as a joke, but it may actually work – in fact, it would give a 37 per cent chance of finding the best partner from a pool of marriage prospects.

Did you ever chase your love away after you broke up with her?

Did you get depressed and stopped living you life hoping for a miraculous intervention?

Did you end up stalking her and leaving multiple phone, text and email messages to which she never replied?

Did you end up approaching her friends and family to intervene and save the relation for you but it only made her angry?

Did you end up professing your utmost feelings that you love her and reasoned why she should not leave you but it all went in vain?

Did you end up promising how you will change everything about you if she stays?

Are you suffering every minute wanting to patch this relation?

Did you know that if a person makes a mistake and then tries to fix it in a panic, they will only make the situation worse?

Breaking up with a person that you are still in love with could be an enormous mistake. But an even bigger mistake is to try to ‘patch up’ things with your ex immediately and do it wrong. Often our emotions and behavior will drive our ex even further away. And here is why…

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,

'Oh excuse me please' was my reply.

He said, 'Please excuse me too;

I wasn't watching for you.'
