If you got someone who is:

• Never gonna give you up
• Never gonna let you down
• Never gonna run around and desert you
• Never gonna make you cry
• Never gonna say goodbye
• Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Then you better treat them right because they've been doing that to you. You know the rules, and so do they.

Im never letting myself go. Perfect catch.

Alternative title: 9 traits that you should strive to achieve, in order to be a good partner.

Edit: so it's been 8 months and I actually have been trying to put into practice what I said here. Although my partner and i have been together for 9 years, within just this past year we have grown so much closer by just by really trying to put ourselves in each others shoes.



In the beginning I used to get upset at my partner because I felt like I was always giving more than they would give back. Instead of telling them this I would lash out and became petty and passive agressive. but now things are different, we still fight but we always try to express exactly what this issue is instead of blaming each other.

If you are having a hard time finding someone, my advice to you is look for somone who is willing to learn but don't also forget to be willing to see things though their eyes. Sometimes you will fight and when you do really listen to what they are saying before calling them out on their insecurities, they may need your help when no one else can provide it.

Not only is this important for couples but it’s also important for friendships

[kele]

I love people who are kind to everybody. It's important for me to see how they treat others, no matter their status. I wouldn't want someone around who is only nice when there is something in return.

[Amaryllis-U]

I think this list can apply not only to romantic partners but to close friends and family as well.

[ascotcomm]

I have been married for 11 years and can say after watching this, I feel like the luckiest, happiest man to walk this world

[Hyderagean]

When you watch this video because you miss somebody, just to realize that YOU were the one who should've been held on to... 👌

[HIXHAM]

Cherish the one who makes you glad to be different, rather than forcing you to fit in 🙌🏾❤️

[Nanamka]

These qualities are gold not only in partners, but in friends too. Cherish such people in your life. They are a real blessing.

Everyone out here looking for these traits in their bfs, gfs or future partners. While i sit here wondering how tf was i so lucky to have a best friend who has all the 9 goddamn qualities...theres a reason i believe in soulmates. Soulmates as best friends. She understands me like no one does. Its almost unreal. Im very grateful for her....i hope all of u find someone for urself. All of us deserve happiness

[kowalchukm]

don't forget that "accepting someone's flaws" does not mean you need to tolerate flawed behavior that negatively impacts you. Toxic or malicious behavior is not a "flaw" you need to accept. I had someone who acted this way and I was always told by him that I should "love and accept him the way he is" which would include accepting lies, manipulation, control, narcissism, cheating..the list goes on.
