[Now THAT is something she's never even really had to think about. There's a lengthy pause to give this some thought. When she finally responds, there's pauses every so often in what she writes.]
Well... for starters, I guess I'd want them to be... Open and honest. People can lie about things as if it were nothing, but I'd have to have some level of trust before I knew that they wouldn't be doing that at every turn. Once I can trust them, I know that they wouldn't hurt me. Not on purpose, I mean. Mistakes happen, and I know that, so... I guess I'd have to get to know their personality too.
[There's another pause as she thinks about things she hadn't touched upon.]
I guess if they could show me what love was - and not the sexual kind, so don't even think that - something tangible, I guess I could be all right with it. I never really saw any good examples except for fairy tales and those are just stories anyway. Anything through actions, subtle things, I guess. It doesn't need to be grandiose like roses filling up a room for Valentine's Day or White Day or anything like that. Something that only I would see from him, I guess.
