I love my biker boots.
When you walk they make each step feel heavy, purposeful...
Nothing quite like walking in them...

I was surfing the message boards & this question was posed.
I've been drinking wine, which makes me wax philosophic... Hehe
So... Here's my take:
An interesting thing to me is that the OP simply asked what qualities, and the word perfect was seemingly inferred...
I believe, whether they admit it or not, most people aren't looking for "perfect" exactly. It's more of an ideal we trying to re-capture.
Most of us are looking for a fairy-tale we heard as a child, that's how we understand love first, often... we want something magical to happen... we want that Hollywood love story. Maybe because fantasy has always been easier to digest...
Every time I've fallen in love (& I believe that LOVE is possible with more than one person) I was completely surprised by it.
Love is one of our greyest ideologies. It's so defining, & so ephemeral. It spans every culture, race, religion, and oftens divides at those same lines. If I can believe in a "god" it's actually the force of love... I can name numerous vile things that have been done in the name of a god, but none in the name of love...
Love is ephermal, it is fleeting, but a great force must be...
I'd rather submit to feeling good with someone, fleeting and glorious, than that scripted program we absorb as kids.
Heart-break is awful. How great is the alternative though?
What do I look for?
That next surprise...

What do you look for in a potential other-half?
