I remember the first one I had was in seventh grade. He was the sweetest, most respectful guy I've ever met. I have always had the idea that whoever I settle down in, should be able to be accepted by my family, and I had clear ideas about who or what my parents could accept. That first relationship didn't last long. Obviously it was a childish love story and nothing serious. Over the years I have made less than optimal choices and, at a certain point, I lost some of the values and goals I had set for myself. However, today I am back on track and know what I expect from my partner. I think I'm at a stage in life where I wouldn't want to be romantically involved with anyone who isn't a good friend, a good father, a good husband, and a good provider. The person I choose as my life partner will have to have all the qualities to be my friend first and foremost, have a sense of responsibility that shows that he will be able to start a family and provide for it, be there for his family in good times and bad fate and support them. I have tried over the years to get romantically engaged with someone who has these criteria, to be avoided
