I know it sounds trite, but honesty still ranks highest with me. Second is an ability to communicate, about anything, without getting angry. Disagreements are inevitable, but anger and fighting, particularly escalating, name calling, grudges, passive aggressive behavior and backstabbing/vengeance are not.
So maybe that is maturity, being able to communicate, collaborate and compromise. Nothing is too big for that.
After those things, on a personal level I require a person who is affectionate, and comfortable with being touched, who knows that giving and receiving are both vital, whether it's compliments, gifts, sex or favors. Balance.
I don't look for someone who is like me. I look for someone who complements me.
Be a giver. Find a giver. Learn to make yourselves happy both giving and receiving.
