What is important to you in a relationship?

Shared interests, trust, passion, honesty, romance and romantic gestures (even a little note with hearts on it is something I'd consider a romantic gesture; I think the best part about them is testing how creative I can be with them. Really flexes that art muscle I need to constantly flex as a freelance artist ha ha), compatibility, communication, disregarding gender roles and stereotypes, patience and the willingness to work through things/problems that may occur instead of getting into shouting matches. No relationship is perfect (nor would I want it to be; perfection means to reach a limit when I'd much rather surpass any limits each and every time), but so long as they're willing to try then so am I. That's all that matters in the end.
