The best way to get the kind of intimate partner you want is to focus on cultivating the right traits and values to become the best possible romantic partner yourself. You need to decide on what kinds of traits you want to build, and whether you are willing to prioritize happiness and equality in a relationship over power or dominance. Then you can use this list of traits to generate specific behaviors that will help foster or develop them, in order to translate your values into concrete steps.
