You've often thought it over, what do you want in a relationship? When growing up, you had so many thoughts about this. At some point, it was someone who knows you well. Then it was someone who you feel comfortable around. After, it was someone you connect with.  Later, it was someone who always makes you smile. But now when you think about it, what do you want the person you love to be like? You look around and observe all the different couples that you would see everyday while working.
