I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet someone who is honest and not deceitful, someone who I can trust, someone who would care about me as much as I would care about them. Someone who would SHOW me they love me by their actions and not just TELL me they love me. Someone who is not selfcentered and uses people. Someone who gives more then they take.
