Honesty, loyalty, trustworthy, independent, a sense of humour and slightly adventurous. There are just a few key words of what I would look for in a future partner. I believe that the foundation of every good relationship is a good friendship.
With my work and other commitments I often find myself being away for extended periods from home and out of contact with family and loved ones, this can put a strain on relationships when we live in the same country let alone thousand miles apart. ( though my crazy logic thinks that this maybe more acceptable as being apart would be part of the relationship, it is also something that requires a lot of trust and understanding.) I am ideally look for someone who can understand this, though it maybe be difficult, this is something that is part of my life/work life.
