The checklist

A person once asked me what am I looking for a ideal partner, and what is the non-negotiable list

I just made up couple points like family oriented, communicate well with me, blabla

Because I know that love is not a checklist, it's emotion that someone feel about other person. Even when we are looking for a mariage, we tend to compromise because we love other person so much that we don't care about "the list" any more.
