I saw this on MindBodyGreen's blog and thought it was awesome:

Qualities I Want in the Person I Date, which I Will Begin Manifesting in Myself:

1. Takes excellent care of his body. (This means no drugs, addictions, or unsafe practices.)--At first I thought I wouldn't put this as number one, buuuut it probably should be. The drugs and unsafe practices part. 
2. Great relationship with family and friends. Treats all people with respect. This is what I would have put as number 1. 
3. Integrity and responsibility: they do what they say and don't blame others. They are solution-oriented instead of problem-oriented. Word. No complainers.
4. Secure in themselves. A good idea of who they are and what they want. They don't have to chase after others' attention or cheap thrills. They don't have to brag or be arrogant either. They resist the urge to make others jealous. Ditto to word. Seriously. Confidence is great, arrogance is not. 
5. Open and giving. Able to give compliments and tell people how they feel. Not self-centered. Thanks for repeating the not self-centered (ie arrogant).
6. Over their exs and can be mature enough to be alone. Mature enough to be alone says mature enough to know who he is. If you can't define yourself outside of others then you are not datable. 
7. Someone who has forgiven their past and can forgive mine. We all have skeletons in our closets.
8. Someone with passion and drive who also gets excited about my passions. Duh. 
9.  A joyful person, with a moral compass, who radiates genuine well-being and positivity. Positivity! Someone who is fun to be around and not emotionally draining (ie a fun/happiness sucker). No Debbie Downers. No liars, cheaters. 
10. Brave enough to be vulnerable. Sometimes I'm not brave enough to do this. I think with the right person I could be.
