What qualities do you want in a romantic partner? What are the top 10 characteristic that you look for in a romantic partner?

Talk about crazy for me to get this prompt. But I think the Universe is just giving me the sign that it's about time I should give this a careful thought and deep contemplation. I mean, I am 28 years old already. I'm truly NBSB, which at some point, I'm proud of. But it can get a little lonely on my part and I tend to get envious about how most people I know are either settled down or relishing the love they've found.

I do have certain criteria and qualities that I look for in a potential romance partner/significant other. At first, they were simple. Over time, they changed ー especially during the time when my parents' relationship went downhill for good. Not to mention, something that happened in the past still haunts me, even though I want to forget about it or let go of it. So, yeah. People might find these qualities cringey at some point, and yet they are my guides to direct me to realize what I truly want or what exactly I was looking for.

Here goes:

1. A guy possibly 20 cm taller than me, maximum. 😂😂
2. Seven years older or younger than me, maximum. The number 7 kept on ringing in my head, for some reason. And it's been like that for a while now.
3. Someone who is supportive of my writing endeavor. This is one thing that's truly important and meaningful for me.
4. Someone who loves me for everything I am, regardless of my past and my faults.
5. Someone who can teach me new good and enjoyable things that can help me grow as a better person.
6. Someone who can comfort me when I'm feeling down or insecure even without me actually saying it.
7. Someone who is a good cook and who can teach me how to cook even better.
8. A man who I can be comfortable with, regardless of the racial and cultural/religious differences between us.
9. Someone who I can write love letters to and will truly appreciate and treasure them. 😄💕
10. Someone who can make me smile from the heart with his faith and his love for me.

By the way, since I deleted this particular post on Instagram, I decided to add the comments that my online friend and I shared when this was posted there before. I just didn't want to completely delete everything, that's why. 😄✌️💕
