20 Traits That Differentiate An Ideal Partner From The Others

We were not making love, we did not even kiss, but the inexplicable intimacy we shared left us wordlessly and hopelessly locked into each other’s gaze. I’m a sucker for romance, there is nothing I enjoy more, than sitting down on a night time and going on an emotional roller-coaster ride.

It doesn’t matter if it’s from a book, a chick flick or just a television show.If there is a romance plot, then you would be right in betting that I’m backing it.

The only problem with that is, I’ve become a bit of an expert, I could sit down and have a movie plot worked out in five minutes, I could read three pages of a book and know who was going to get together and I could tell you in series one, episode one who are destined to be soul mates.You see the thing is, and you don’t realize it straight away, underneath every romance plot there is essentially the same story being told.

They all follow the same basic principles.And I wonder if we applied these basic principles to our own lives, would it help us find love?After all, no good romance story ends without the boy getting the girl, right?

One of the main principles I have noticed in all romance stories is that the prince charming character nearly always has the same traits.

Out of the thousands of traits, every romance story picks from a pool of twenty and those twenty seem to build a universal ideal partner. Does that mean in reality we should only be picking from this trait pool too? Would it help us in our search for the ideal partner or is it just a fairy tale that we wish was true.

You might not think that you are picky enough to think about traits, or you might think that with the right person it doesn’t matter, but the thing is that it really matters what traits a person has. These traits make them who they are and that is the person that you are thinking about getting into a relationship with. And you need to know if it is going to work in the long run.
