In your opinion, what is THE single most important personal attribute for success in dating?

Do you feel you possess that attribute?

If not...what's your plan for dealing with that?

Tenacity - the ability to roll with the punches, get back up, and keep running. Because dating is full of metaphorical punches.

This video illustrates nicely:

YouTube - The Race

I could go on about confidence and panache, but you wanted ONE quality.

Depends on how success is defined:

- If by number of dates / partners, being desirable.

- If by quality / durability of relationship, something more like patience (so that you wait for good people, and don't tolerate bad people just to avoid being alone.)

I would say confidence. If you don't have confidence in yourself, and like who you are as a person, you can't be successful in dating. Guys like women who are confident, I have found. They like women who know what they want and aren't afraid to express it.

Being a player. Lying, underhandedness, being a jerk, being a "bad boy".

Do you feel you possess that attribute?
No.

If not...what's your plan for dealing with that?
Not part of the persona that I choose to have. I will therefore continue to a failure at dating should I ever choose to pursue dating again.

Above.

If you had to pick one I would go with intelligence. One reason I pick intelligence is because that usually brings along many other very important qualities.
