These are the demands everyone has for a potential new lover
During the period when you get to know a potential new lover, you are extra alert to all their good and bad sides. And then some points are a bit more clearly present than others. Of course, there are the logical turn-offs like bad breath, coming across as uninterested, or poor table manners, but according to the editorial team of the dating show ‘First Dates’, there are a few points that can help you know for sure whether it could be a good match or if there is zero percent chance of a spark.
Travel distance
One of the most important requirements is that you can often meet up. You still need to get to know each other, and that takes time. If there is then a two-hour travel distance between you, it is not exactly conducive to the energy you can invest in each other. This is also one of the reasons many people choose not to even schedule a first date.
Spirituality and religion
When it comes to spirituality and religion, we are talking about things that have a significant influence on how people view life. If you have nothing to do with it yourself, it can be quite strange or even incomprehensible if the other person has adjusted their entire lifestyle to this belief.
Vegetarian or vegan
If you really love a steak or a fish dish, you would like to enjoy these meals at home or go to restaurants that specialize in such dishes. If your lover is then a vegetarian or even vegan, that is quite something to take into account. This can also be a significant turn-off for many people who love the good life.
Monogamous or open relationship
This is quite obvious, but it is very important whether your love interest has the same goal in mind as you. Because if you envision building a life together in a monogamous relationship, it is a huge step towards an open or polyamorous relationship.
Height difference
This is a very superficial one, because how tall someone is mainly relates to appearance. It is really something you will be blind to if you are truly in love with someone. Of course, it is awkward if you are two meters tall and your partner is one and a half meters, but the chance that the difference is that big is very small. Just stay open-minded.
