10 Essential Traits Every Woman Should Seek in a Partner (4 of 6)

6. He prioritizes chemistry

You’ve probably gone on a date with a man who was perfectly nice and even easy on the eyes, yet the spark just wasn’t there. In the end, you want someone you can talk to effortlessly, share genuine interests with, and who leaves you feeling more energized after you’ve spent time together. Those qualities are the foundation for the kind of deep bond that supports a lasting relationship.

7. He shows up emotionally

Ever met a guy who spent your time together scrolling his phone instead of engaging with you? That’s a clear sign the relationship won’t go far. Just as you’re present when he speaks, you should expect the same in return. Being there also looks like replying within a reasonable window—or giving a heads-up when he won’t be available to respond right away.
