Breathing, first and foremost. Not a necrophiliac.
Single, secondly. I'm not into being a home-wrecker, or somebody's meat on the side.
Thirdly, she has to be my equal in all things, mental, emotional, etc. I'm not into being mothered, and I don't relish the idea of being someone's daddy, unless they're the product of my loins.
As for the rest, well, I've discovered expectations beyond the above are counter-productive. We all have our own individual Karma, and when we become a couple, we have to deal with that Karma AS A COUPLE. Part of the thrill of being in a relationship is discovering this karma together.
Ah, who am I kidding? It's hard enough finding the above three aspects IRL, let alone on the net, where there is a scam a second.
I'm doomed.
