Your description can be of your current love if you have one or who you would love to bump into accidentally (on purpose). You may like to describe only physical attributes, only mental attributes or only emotional attributes. Perhaps the whole lot.
Your ideal life partner might be yourself or a pet!
How does/would you like a life partner affect your depression/anxiety?

I like Dr Tom's definition. Someone who will let me be me, and loves me for me. And who I can do the same for.

Hey and welcome Blackbear!
Few words but plenty of stuff to mull over.
We have a social zone thread called; The Rainbow Café if you'd like to take a look and join in. You're very welcome to post, ask questions, or chat.
Your comment; "Is it safe to come out at my age" is worth delving into if you're up to it. (I was in my late 50's) Discuss on the rainbow thread or start your own? I'll be happy to talk as will others there.
Take care; hope to hear from you soon...

Marcus I like this too...
Someone who will let me be me, and loves me for me. And who I can do the same for.
My 'ideal' partner is my husband. I love him. He loves me. We drive eachother crazy sometimes but I would rather deal with his crap than anybody else's. That's love.

Hi. I have just found this thread. How have I not popped in before??
Yes I agree with many of you. Ideal may not be the best word, however due to my dyslexia (and probably poor vocab) it would be the only word I could think of using.
So my ideal partner (male or female) would be someone who is loving, caring and humble. I want someone who loves me for me. That supports me (and I them). Who is understanding of my GAD. Someone who gives me goosebumps when they hold my hand or give me a cuddle. Someone who looks into my eyes and I see love and affection. As you can see this is pretty general. Probably why I find it hard to find someone. Now the only superficial thing I have is I would like a man to be tall, however it is not a deal breaker if they aren't. I would also love it if my person had blue or pale eyes. I have hazel. Again not a deal breaker. I have had crushes on people that may not be 'typical' appearance wise. It is more about connection for me. If there is a connection I find them attractive.

Hi
I think relationship makes life more interesting, so maybe it will be great if I feel funny and comfortable to share everything. I will be no longer lonely, laughing more frequently and experience new things together.
Strange and lonesome are not problems. I like strange people too, who are cute enough to hook up with. That person will respect woman and can be like a brother when I am around. I used to dream to have a big brother ( though I have elder sister, but she is very strict on me) ^^~
And about appearance, I like people with smiling eyes.
Thank you for a good question.
Katie
