companionship, partnership, relationship

what makes one to be a good partner? cmon guys... having trouble here... give me some low-down, man!

i though i had more or less deciphered the male psyche and i learnt to be:
1) cool -- be level-headed, chill-out mode 80% of the time
2) understanding -- always always put myself in his shoes
3) patient -- if he is late to pick u up, late for a date, wait patiently and do not keep calling to ask "where are you!"... plus other occasions that require patience (and tolerance)
4) empathy -- i do! and extremely reliable and helpful...
5) love -- everything and beyond
6) forgiving -- i am the least petty gal, man!

but if i m guilty for caring by being naggy, and for stating my stand on matters (which is often rebutted) plus give the (VERY) occasional chiding, then i think i still have a long way to go.

i am sad. i am down. i am pissed. but i know i am right.

and to top it all off, Wentworth Miller has to be gay. BUMMER! :(
