What do you look for in a potential partner?

I'm just curious about what fellow Taureans look for in a potential/long term partner. Just curious to see if there are any similarities... I have become particularly jaded with the people I meet lately. *sigh*
I was talking with a Leo friend of mine and realised that she and I are never going to fight over the same type of guy. LOL she enjoys the drama, the stress, the arguments and I really just want someone who is able to just mean what they say and say what they mean dammit. Is it that hard or am I completely disillusioned. LOL
Sincerity- genuinely like who I am and truly want to build a life with me
Security- consistency, dependability, solid responsibility and reliability
Sex- some honest to god, damn good chemistry
Affection- cuddling, touching, always
Honesty- lying is seriously unnecessary and just creates more problems
Loyalty- !!!!
Respect- I'm a person, I'm not a doormat, I'm not an object, treat me the way you want to be treated and we're good
Trust trust trust trust!

+ 1 trillion. Reassurance that I am not going out of my mind. LOL Thank you!
Someone who appreciates me on every level. Honest, loves to laugh. Enjoys touching and being touched. Very physical. Someone who knows their own mind and takes me there for walks, often. Possessive, like me. Mental, like me.

someone who earns my trust, keeps it real with me, herself and everyone else, is compassionate, understanding and loyal.
intelligent enough to challenge my preconceptions and teach me new things.
someone to grow old with and evolve as human beings.
and someone who laughs at my jokes :p


*fistbumps*
Absolutely spot on. I couldn't agree more, you summed it up well - particularly 'intelligent enough to challenge my preconceptions and teach me new things and to grow and evolve as human beings' That is something that I really value because it's such a rarity to find someone who is of the same mindset here. Which reminds me..can you send a clone of yourself over? lol

I can completely relate to this, someone who loves to laugh is so very important. As is someone who can leave their ego at the door and not take themselves far too serious. I am also a very affectionate person, so I don't think I could ever really be with someone who pulls away from that. "Someone who knows their own mind and takes me there for walks, often" - I love how you phrased this, I can picture it in my head - if that makes any sense. lol Possessive -

Personally, I like to be direct and honest in all approaches so I really look for the same in a partner. I'm a sentimental old soul, lol my cancer moon tugs at my heartstrings a lot too, so I guess someone who can understand that and not mistake it for weakness Tongue Also, my family and friends are the world to me, so I usually gravitate to people who has strong family values.
What you see is what you get with me and I have no qualms about showing my affection or my feelings, so someone who appreciates that is a must. I strongly believe that respect, trust and loyalty is paramount in all relations you have in life and I am scrupulously faithful - so there's no middle ground here for me, I expect the same from my partner.
Someone who is compassion and loves animals - a must. There's a saying that I think sums it up perfectly "Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you". Admi
my fingers got ahead of me lol
- Compassionate*
Admittedly, I can also be a bit of a traditionalist, although I am not fixated on gender roles.
I really find subtle possessiveness & chivalry incredibly sexy.

Intense
passionate but controlled
disciplined without being stuck-up or stoic
sharp and cynical sense of humor
i have to admit...a bit possessive
A bit elusive...i don't want it to be too simple and within reach ( I like to work for my reward, Tongue)
Intuitive...and many more!
In other words, my scorp Big Grin



I like that you say disciplined without being stuck-up or stoic - I look for the same.
I love love love witty banter and a wicked dry sense of humour.
sanity is always a bonus
but a little crazy too
definately needs a sense of humour
Honesty and someone with a sense of whats right and whats wrong and will stand by her beliefs
Not lazy not all the time
someone who has street smartsand common sense I'll take that over a brainiac anyday
someone whos easy on My eyes ( attractive to me )
