Build a Ice Cream Game!
When it comes to relationships (friendships or romantic relationships alike) there are all traits and characteristics we all like to have/we get along with a lot more!
So in a fun analogy and game, what does your ice cream look like?
Cone --> the base of the ice cream (they have to have this trait or it's very difficult to see them get along with you)
Scoops --> Pretty important traits but they aren't deal breakers
Sprinkles --> extra things that are nice, but aren't exactly necessary (easily overlooked!)
For me in terms of friendships I look for:
Cone: a similar interest or hobby, as it's very difficult for me to be friends with someone I have nothing in common with (however it's not that hard to find some common ground with me most of the time :) )
Scoops: 1. Kind and considerate (I love reciprocation in relationships, as I want to be kind to my friends and others, it would also feel nice to feel kindness in return!) 2. Honesty (Honesty and good communication makes for a strong and growing relationship!
Sprinkles: Fashionable (I like going out in themed outfits!), Extroverted (I like conversation holders :)), Has a pretty smile!
All in all it looks like I have a double-scooped ice cream with three kinds of sprinkles!
Feel free to add on more in each category! I had a friend make a full on sundae with bananas and cherries when describing their ideal type for their significant other XD.
@sunnyWriting4806 Thank you for this! This is really interesting and a nice exercise. Here is mine :)
Cone: Similar interest or hobby. Similar taste in music. Should be open to communicate their feelings as I am very open to communicate mine; I like clarity.
Scoops: Loves cats. Loves BLACKPINK haha. Someone who likes to travel and knows how to ride a bike.
Sprinkles: Knows how to play an instrument or someone who can sing. I enjoy music and jamming sessions :)

This is such an interesting thought experiment!
Cone --> Intelligent, accepting
Scoops --> Night owl, good with finances
Sprinkles --> comfortable talking on the phone
