I wonder what other think of when it comes down to realtionships,so I decided to ask you!
-
Love
-
I understand what you mean actually.The understanding and comfort you to be able to fall in love.
-
Personality and companionship was important for me and my partner. It was key that we enjoyed talking about music, life the universe and politics, it really helped us to connect with one another.
I think these things are key to the formation of a healthy relationship. -
All of them!
1.Good Looks- I'm not trying to be shallow, but you have to be attracted to someone to be in a relationship with them. They don't have to be George Cloony or anything, but you MUST be attracted to your partner.
2.Money- They don't necessarily have to be rich, but you can't be their financial support system. They can't bleed ya dry!
3.Connections- okay- this isn't really important unless you wish to use your partner for your own selfish motives.
4.Companionship- absolutely important! you need to be best friends. you need to be there for each other and love each other.
5.Good Personality- obviously this is important. you don't want to be with someone you don't like!
6.Good Sex- okay, contrary to popular belief, good sex is important! bad sex or no sex pulls a couple apart. you need the physical-ness and the love.
7.Good Reputation/Status- that might be okay, i mean, you don't want to date someone who's a slut/'player' or a criminal ;-)
and of course, love is important, but I'm sure you knew that. -
Personaliy for a relationship but if your ugly or a bad kisser you ain't getting far enough to be considered for relationship material no matter how nice you are, I ain't spending lots of time with somebody I am not attracted to and I don't care how shallow that makes me.

It is very important to start off with a sincere friendship. You've got to be able to trust one's character. Honesty goes a long way within any type of relationship as it's being formed. All of the above things that everyone has stated goes hand in hand...but without honesty and trust you have no room to love...Surly the relationship will not survive if it's built on anything other than understanding yourself...If you know what you like, and what you dislike, then you should never settle for anything lesser than what you deserve... Keep your standards flowing regardless of what anyone says...Once you know who you are, then you can position yourself to get to know someone else's character sincerely. This will allow one to know if we should just leave it as friendship or is it possible to take it further... This would save many heartbreaking relationships...
-
I agree. I think both friendship and honesty is the best way to begin. A relationship can be formed and love will eventually blossom. Personal experience has taught me that the relationships that have failed it because we werent friends, whilst the one that has lasted is due to the fact that we're the best of friends.
-
I am going to leave this poll up here.I have read all of your answers and I can understand the view point from all of them.But I honestly think that if people consider this question in thier relationships,it can help them to see where their relationship stands.Thank you for your comments!!!

Love is an entirely overrated, overhyped myth. True understanding is like be self-actualized...twice!
-
my guy has goo looks, great personality, good in the bedroom, is there for me , and doesn't cheat on me like toher guys do so i have to say that what all relationshipss need are trust and truthfulness
-
Trust.
Even if someone has all of the above, you need to be able to trust them. -
Other: values.
If the person doesn't look at life the same way you do, you'll be arguing, over everything from whether Obama is an alien, to what's a good way to raise the kids. Or if you're gonna have kids. Let alone heavy stuff like religious preference, gay rights, abortion, global warming prevention, the war on terror, etc.
If you find that you agree with a person's values, their personality will seem nicer to you, and they might even seem more attractive.
-
Other: Love... trust... interests... along with some that were listed (connection/chemistry being there) and I have to say that Val makes a good point too
-
love and trust
-
I can't vote - maybe I'm too old

I'll go for a strong Spiritual connection every time... if it's there the sex is great and meaningful, the days you spend together are diamonds.
The days you are apart are trips into dark places.
If you're both writers the house goes to hell-in-a-hand basket and you laugh about it.
You send emails to each other when you're 8ft apart, just to tell them you love them and appreciate them, then they send you a poem which makes you cry - then they hand you a tissue over their monitor and yours. -
What Valkyrie said - plus trust and honesty.
-
Money and connections. good looks, good Personality. then, good reputation and good sex. good companionship, and last but not least love.
I think that's a good order. -
Companionship. Loneliness is insanity.
-
Companionship is good but not really necessary, compatability works fine.
Better to be alone than in bad company. I like being alone, don't really ever feel lonely.
