Cynthia

I want my potential partners to at least match my basic lifestyle. I have a job, and l expect my date to have a job. I exercise, and I expect my date to exercise too. I am good with my finances, I expect my date to be financially stable too. Basic things like that.

Peace

I don’t think I have any dating expectations anymore. I’m tired of my body being used. It’s a long form of coercion in my experience. I wish I could just be friends with someone for a good long while first then move into a relationship. I’d feel safer that way.

Jemima

For me it’s peace. If I feel peace, then I am good to go. I expect not to be rushed and for everyone to give their best.  I’d like for him to be his true self no matter how hard it is. It saves me the stress of waiting for 2 years before finding out the real him. I will also expect to see him trying to see if most of our values match.

Chelsea

I do have dating expectations that may not seem like a big deal but it’s a big deal. Ultimately I’m looking for someone who feels safe, that I can trust to stay, someone who can grow and go through life with. How much money you have in your bank account is not my concern. How tall you are is not important. All I care about is if you’re willing to keep growing and moving forward in life and not feel stagnant or stuck in the past.

Nancy

When it comes to dating expectations that l have now I would say Consistency/Authenticity. I want someone who can show up mentally, physically, and emotionally. It means I can rely on and trust that you are the person and human you say you are. I want someone passionate. Show me that you can be excited about things!   And finally Emotional Intelligence and Respect. I understand that everyone is wired a little differently but the differences help us learn grow and expand ourselves. I want someone kind and empathetic,  healed and resisting the urge to project onto others.

Thelma

I don’t need much. I just want a good man who can make me laugh, strives to be a good person and make others smile, hopefully also in education or some sort of path towards a good paying career, is in touch with his emotions and wants us to grow together as people.

Favour

My dating expectations is someone who matches me and my values and is interested in me. I want someone with basic respect, good humour, good communication, a loving relationship, putting in effort, etc. But like since I’m happily single, I won’t settle for anyone who shows a sliver of disrespect or bad communication skills. Like I would warn them at first cuz it could be a mistake, but the second time is a choice.

Olivia

I want someone I’m comfortable with and feel safe enough. Someone who genuinely wants to get to know me and figure things out together. He doesn’t need to earn much but he should be comfortable.
