I feel like the people looking for relationships think only about what it will do for them, and very little about what they can bring to another person.
In the end, I believe relationships are a way to experience personal growth. Our partner reflects back to us what we would not be able to see in ourselves without them. I wrote more about that here: https://medium.com/long-after-the-thrill/relationships-whats-the-point-c680f6671919
But most people do not approach relationships as a way to grow, but rather a way to take whatever they can get from another person.
