1. Trust
2. Communication
3. Honesty
4. Respect for each other
The list could go on and on, and in no particular order. But you will never be able to have a long lasting loving relationship if you don't love yourself first. No I'm not talking about being in love with yourself (nobody likes an arrogant, self absorbed, narcissist). I mean if you don't like/love your self how can you expect someone else to. Easy thing to do is look in the mirror, and if you wouldn't date you - why would someone else?
I'm not bashing anybody here either. For and example (if I were single) I'd love to date Alyssa Luxor. I find her to be intelligent, honest, open minded, and very attractive. Then again there are girls on this bored I would not touch with a 10 ft pole.
So just remember the next time your out a a club, a bar, or any where you run into somebody. People aren't pieces meat, a random hole to stick your dick into, some mindless unemotional meat sack for you to get your rocks off on, or walking dollar signs. That goes for all genders. Treat the people they way you want to be treated, and in turn they will treat you the same way. If they don't...fuck 'em and get them out of your life. If you can follow these small simple things aka "common sense" you will be able to look in the mirror like what you see, and then be able to find someone.
Sorry I had to rant on and on like that.
