On the lookout for love

Nobody’s perfect, but here are 10 things men and women look for in a lover.

1 Friendship: At the end of the day your partner must be able to be a friend, or a relationship will never work.

2Chemistry: That right mix of comfort and attraction is a must to be a good pair.

3 Enjoying the way you feel around your partner: Would you want to be around someone who doesn’t make you feel good?

4 Being open about how he/she feels toward you: If a person can’t express how they feel about you especially in public, they cannot be the right person for you.

5 Personality: In addition to being a prime reason for attraction, your partner’s personality is what sustains relationships.

6 Kindness: Be sure to be with someone who is kind. In the long run this will hold great value.

7 Romantic attraction: The basis of all relationships, this one needs no explanation.

8Talk about personal problems: Communication is the lifeline of a relationship, be sure to be with a person you can share your feelings with.

9 Being able to discuss how you feel about him/her: Don’t shy away from sharing what you feel about each other. Good or bad, it will only make your relationship stronger.

10 Physical closeness: Being intimate with your lover is crucial. If you find that hard, it’s time to move on with your life without this partner.
