Things in common, ability to talk about everything, or almost everything, physical attraction, common goals...And these aren't listed in any particular order. LOL.

sense of humour and honesty hmm sincerity,intelligence and open mindedness I wouldn't want us to have too much in common,a little discourse keeps things interesting smile hmmm the freedom to think for themselves, and a sense of purpose and the patience to put up with my motley assortment of friends..

Honesty, and that he says what he feels - and we should have a lot in common and that I feel understood. Oh, and of course you have to be able to trust each other.

Ah but thats the hardest thing of all to trust its a brave person who takes the plunge, sometimes, it's worth struggling through the sharks

ines you're right, you have to have trust, without trust there is nothing.

I agree, it's hard to get trust, but this is necesary in a relationship.

I agree with everything they have all been saying.

I *love* long hair, and I'd like them to be at least slightly concerned about their appearance (I.E. Not looking like a slob. LoL.)
A good sense of humor and an open mind are also characteristics that I look for. I seem to naturally gravitate to people who are more outspoken, so I suppose that wouldn't hurt either. :)

In a guy, I would look for honesty most of all, also someone I can have interesting conversations with, who is considerate and thoughtful, knows when to take things seriously but also has a sense of humor, and someone who knows where they're going in life or at least has an idea of it. Physically, I'd want him to be taller than me and either be slender or a little over that but not much. I would definitely look for those personality traits though anyway, and at least those physical traits in appearance. *smiles*

Oh, I agree, trust is hard to get and feel, but it's all worth it in the end. And, you shouldn't just expect trust to be there on either side. It is something that has to be worked for. *smile*

I don't care really what he looks like. The character, the "inner beauty" counts.

Hmm, for me, my two biggest requirements would be that they be intelligent and have a sense of humor. I don't honestly have much thought on what things I'd find physically atractive. Truthfully I usually don't think of people with any images or anything, since I don't remember having sight.

Yeah, humour is good, too. And intelligence. Good point.
