What do you expect out of a romantic relationship?

Somebody holding aloft Excalibur and being declared King of the Britons.

Joy, pain, ecstasy, disappointment.

Love, respect.

Honesty
Compassion
Patience
Fidelity
Integrity
Respect
Comfortable affection
Shared boundaries honored

Trust, fairness, communication, respect, love, happiness, honesty, intimacy, humor.

Obedience,silence and a ham sandwich.:)

Time, love and tenderness.

And, trust, mutual respect, honesty, laughter.

Good quality chocolate and diamonds.

Not a paycheck, that is for sure.

A companion and a best friend, and someone who loves me for exactly who I am and doesn’t want/need me to change….

Lots of lurve love, companionship, trust, friendship and honesty.

I just want somebody

Love. Hate. Dissapointment. Vulnerability. Weakness. Betrayal. Honesty. Tenderness. Complications. Worst of all, the inevitable feeling of love. Again. And lastly, power, or vice versa.

Commitment. Someone to turn to for support; someone to keep you moving everyday, encouraging you to excel at being the person you want to be. Someone to care for also. Someone to do things with; companionship.

I expect respect, support, laughter, amazing sex, openness, growth, intensity, excitement, inspiration.

Out of a romantic relationship, I expect;

Love
Passion
Respect
Joy
Honesty
Commitment
Open Mind
Support

I’ve only had sex once and I’ve never been in a real meaningful romantic relationship

but if i had to take a guess i would totally agree with @m0r60n & @Simone_De_Beauvoir

What, do I look like Dr. Phil?
