Communication is also very important; discuss everything, the good, the bad and the down right ugly. I could handle a fiscal conservative albeit I might not agree with him on taxation policies to a point. No hard core capitalists who are anti-social-programs, please, but if he leans a little to the right on a fiscal scale, then I can deal with that. But he absolutely has to be pro-choice, pro-gay-marriage, pro-separation-of-church-and-state, yada yada. Dealbreakers!  It&#8217;s not a penis joke! The ability to make me laugh and to laugh at my jokes it&#8217;s really a huge turn on- both sexual and emotional. Obviously this means premarital sex is a must, but I&#8217;m not even giving that another point because it&#8217;s so tied up in my need for sexual chemistry.  Must be relatively close to my age. I need someone who is smart and doesn&#8217;t want me to give him a free ride. Must be highly intelligent. I&#8217;m a smart girl and have to have a partner with similar intelligence levels. Must be able to laugh when things don&#8217;t go as expected. Life is too short to get worked up over the little things. <\/p>\n<p>1) Like-minded spiritually speaking. I come from a strong religious background and I simply could not mesh properly with someone who believed differently than I do. This requirement alone encompasses several other things, such as views on drugs, sexuality, etc. I&#8217;m not a prude or closed-minded but I have made certain choices in my life and need someone who agrees with those.<\/p>\n<p>2) He must, he MUST communicate with me. Too many times I have been in relationships where concerns\/fears\/etc. were never discussed, leading to incredibly painful breakups that left me questioning myself. My ex-boyfriend promised me he would always talk to me about things, and I promised him the same, and sometimes it&#8217;s been hard but we still talk, and it&#8217;s helping us build a strong foundation. We create memories and we seek fun and pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>3) He must not take himself too seriously\/must have a good sense of humor. I love that he makes me laugh and can be completely goofy and nerdy, but more than that he&#8217;s able to let things slide off and not take anything too seriously, especially himself. It creates an easygoing personality that is so important to me.<\/p>\n<p>4) He must be kind, but also honest. One of the things I love the most about my exes were what a huge heart they have. Must have a huge respect for all creatures, even bugs, and he loves very fiercely. He has a great relationship with his folks, and he&#8217;s willing to do anything for his friends. That being said, he&#8217;s honest enough so that no one ever doubts where they stand with him. He won&#8217;t be rude to someone he&#8217;s not crazy about, but at the same time, he won&#8217;t pretend to be their best friend either. I respect that a lot.<\/p>\n<p>5) He must have a wide variety of interests and be open to trying new things. I desire a guy in every respect. I&#8217;m attracted who loves sports and video games. But he also loves a good book, playing music or going to a live show, ethnic foods, and traveling. If he&#8217;s a frequent flyer out of the country yet but also willing to talk about all the places we&#8217;d like to go. And he&#8217;s open minded and respectful of my interests, even where they differ from his.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I believe that the basis of any relationship is based on Trust, Friendship, Companionship, someone to share a few laughs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3430,"featured_media":72448,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1006,1],"tags":[2115],"class_list":["post-17204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dating-relationship","category-news","tag-dating"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u-113x150.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","medium_large":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","large":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-highlighted-post":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-featured-post-medium":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-featured-post-small":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u-113x90.jpg","colormag-featured-image":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-default-news":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u-113x150.jpg","colormag-featured-image-large":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-elementor-block-extra-large-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-elementor-grid-large-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-elementor-grid-small-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-elementor-grid-medium-large-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"mollievzqkcboxrsdbvw","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/af49673fbe75a5862eb974b1f584c702c2e96993699ead39246fa5c8810d8df9?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":"0","magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"I believe that the basis of any relationship is based on Trust, Friendship, Companionship, someone to share a few laughs","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["Dating &amp; relationships","News"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":144,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":3,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg",113,170,false],"medium":["https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg",113,170,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u-113x150.jpg",113,150,true]},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"mollievzqkcboxrsdbvw","author_link":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/?author=3430"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/af49673fbe75a5862eb974b1f584c702c2e96993699ead39246fa5c8810d8df9?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-1006\">Dating &amp; relationships<\/a> <a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-1\">News<\/a>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3430"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17204\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/72448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
