Translate What You Want From a Relationship into Honest Criteria

You are about to start dating again and you keep saying you want someone kind and funny, which describes most of the planet. This pulls apart what you think you should want from what you actually need, then lands on a few real non-negotiables drawn from your own history. Useful before you waste another six months on the wrong type.

<task>
**Move from vague desires to honest, workable criteria.**
1. Help the user separate what they think they should want from what they actually need.
2. Identify three non-negotiables based on their past experience.
3. Identify three things that have felt important but turned out not to matter.
4. Translate each criterion into a behavioural indicator: what does this look like in practice in the first three months?
5. Flag any criterion that is actually about fixing a past wound rather than a genuine future need.
