I'm going to chime in here and mention a couple of things that some folks might find useful. If anything else, they're just points to potentially consider regarding the relationship thing.
Number one - I'd encourage people to focus on the emotional/spiritual QUALITIES they'd like to attract in a partner, if they're setting intentions surrounding a relationship. That one can be really helpful. You'll often find that that "ideal" partner doesn't fit the "external package" (which can be the result of lifelong societal programming, anyway) that you have preprogrammed in your head.
But if you focus on the energy qualities, the personal qualities, the spiritual awareness, the psychic capabilities that you'd like to discover in that partner, that can really allow your intentions to manifest perfectly.
So be flexible on the age thing, the height thing, the looks thing, the race thing, etc. Those things have no importance whatsoever, anyway. Focus on the way you'd like to FEEL with this partner, the energies you want to be able to play with and experience with that person, the lightness, the joy, the beauty of that. It's more of a 4-D way of manifesting a great partner.
Then you can have TONS OF FUN when that person shows up! I've been blessed to experience allmost eight years of fun now with my partner, and the fun just keeps taking on more levels of multidimensionality and miraculousness. (If that's a word!
And he turned out to be pretty on the outside as well as the inside, which was a surprise bonus.
Also - be prepared that there can be a lot of shadow stuff coming around to challenge you in the beginning as a couple. Stuff from each of your pasts, stuff from your families of origin, astral negs trying to keep you apart, all manner of goop. So it's important to be able to step into spiritual warrior mode and learn how to protect yourself, clear out your sphere of influence as as couple, and consecrate the energy you are creating as a team. Learn how to stop blaming your partner and start looking at the energy that is coming at you, trying to throw you off course. Learn how to blaze the love of a thousand suns from your heart to burn away the psychic interference. When you can summon that up on command, the negs start to back off. They realize they can't separate you or drive a wedge between you.
I like to use the WonderTwins as my role model. Remember the WonderTwins? They were featured on the cheesy SuperFriends cartoon in the 70's. You had traditional superheroes on it like Wonder Woman, Aquaman, etc., and then there were the WonderTwins. They could do cool things together and would always say, "Wonder Twin powers, activate!" before manifesting cool things.
You and your partner will need to develop certain survival and self-clearing/psychic protection talents together. It helps if you are both inclined towards practicing and studying different healing modalities, especially those that allow you to obtain psychically derived information (so you can tune in together and discern what is really going on in a given situation.) And being able to move energy around via "magical work," shamanic journeying, power prayer, hands-on energy work, and/or martial arts are also really important skills.
There are so many people like this out there. Don't live in a poverty of possibility. I've been privileged to meet or connect with tens of thousands of seekers from all walks of life, people I wish I could gather together in one place so they could see they are NOT unique, they are NOT an anomaly, they are NOT alone. Knowing this first-hand helped me to remain mellow when a spent a couple of years off the dating wagon and allowed myself to be detached and Zen about whether a relationship would happen or not. It was that willingness to happily be on my own, doing my own thing, while being fully engaged with life, that set up the right vibration for Mr. Right to turn up.
Before Mr. Right could show up, I had to become Ms. Right.
Marianne Williamson used to teach a marvelous concept - maybe she still talks about this. She said, if you want to find a soulmate, first make a list of the qualities you really crave in your partner, the things you really feel are essential. Visualize these energies and qualities really clearly.
Then, look at the list again, and WORK ON ATTAINING THESE QUALITIES WITHIN YOURSELF.
That's when, she said, you've set yourself on the path of meeting that wonderful person....when you YOURSELF are working to become that person.
So internalizing that list and using it as a take-off point to inspire you to become a better, happier, and more highly vibrational person can be very good, too.
