A willingness to copromise.Also lack of communication.I mean you can say things,but those things must be understood.And one more to add,this a generation of SELF.

I think communication is alot of what is missing. Also sitting down and talking about major decissions, I guess that is communications

I agree with Howie, people aren't that way any more though. It's rare that you find those qualities in anyone any more. They tell you what they think you want to hear, but what they say is probably less than half true. Sorry, but that's my opinion.

People to take you for who you are and not what you have. I have been much happier myself when I had absolutely nothing at all. Cause I myself was grateful when I did get something, and not look at it like it was just cheap or not good enough.

Personal contact.
Too many sit behind a computer and use that as a tool to find someone of interest. Picking out little details that in no way makes the person. Window shopping...!! Too much misstrust and being too judgemental over a few words in a profile.
This seems to be the new age dating. Everyone looking for Mr/Mrs right in cyberspace. Ahhhhhh...... how I recall the good old days. Before computers, texting, cell phones, technology. When you actually had to get out and meet people if you wanted to get a date and eventually a relationship.
I wonder what the next step will be? Creating and using Avitars to meet, have a relationship, get married without ever leaving the comfort of our own computer chair. Never have to get up close and personal with anyone. Just how would there be offspring from doing it that way? I know......if our Avitars get married Fed Ex or UPS can transport the sperm and you can use a turkey baster to inseminate. Or just make Avitar children. That would surely take care of having to have any personal contact. We all will stay nice and safe that way.
No thanks.....I'll pass on that way. About to pass on this style of trying to meet someone too.

Harley, you are so right. You are not going to find that special person sitting behind this moniter. That's why I get out and go places. By the way, I introduced Cathy to a guy and they seem to be hitting it off. 2 dates so far and they talk on the phone every night. I hope it works out for her. Maybe someone will return the favor for me one day.

Real communication between two people not just general talk. I also have to add trust, honesty, and being above board with the other person at all times. I also have to add in here to respect the other persons opinion and if those opinions don't match, just compromise and agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Whats missing, is a person's desire to "really" find what they want,,, Yes, communication,, Sit across from me and "talk " to me,, Dont try to get in my pants,, Get to know me,, and I you,,,, Lets find out about each other,, Be honest,, Be willing to go that "extra mile" to find out ,, Dont give up on a first date, and walk away ,, Might be the biggest mistake you ever made,,
Get out from behind that disguise, you put up when your"re online and come out and "meet" the people you are so eager to IM with or email with each day,,,
Hey, most of us on here have tons of time,, Time to share,
GET OFF YOUR PATOOTY, AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!

I agree, a willingness to compromise is big. Who is sitting around just waiting and waiting for something or someone to happen? So you meet someone online and are trying to meet in person. You have to coordinate schedules with the person. Then the person says, "Oh, I don't want to disrupt your schedule.. . . bye." Duh . . . . .

Selflessness
If everyone has their defenses up and is on their guard at all times communication is almost entirely out the window. Passion too is bridled and the relationship is greatly weakened if not utterly destroyed. Everyone is afraid to get hurt, albeit sometimes for good reason, but fear is not necessarily the most healthy foundation to a relationship. Life is a culmination of moments some seem positive and some seem less than stellar but if you want to truly share any of those moments with another person then there has to be an element of selflessness. Worry about yourself and you will never allow someone else to truly slip past your defenses. Without touching your true heart and learning your true nature how can someone truly know you? Thus is the birth of distrust... of blame... of jealousy... of anger... and of pain. This is why I say that Selflessness is what is missing from many relationships. Is it "you and I" or simply "us"?
