I don't have a well-defined picture of what my ideal romantic partner looks like. I firmly believe in the old cliche that love is blind, and when you love someone, you can't explain what it is about them that made you fall in love with them.
My ideal mate is someone I'm really happy and relaxed around, and who also feels the same way about me.
That being said, I can take a guess at some qualities she might have that would probably lead to us being more compatible:
She is very intelligent, and highly intellectual.
She is sensitive but not easily offended. She responds to logical argument in a reasonable manner. She understands that it's a bad idea to argue about relationship problems when you're angry.
She's introverted and a bit socially awkward (so she understands what it's like for me).
She's open. She doesn't find it hard to talk about her past, for example.
She has a sarcastic, self-deprecating sense of humour. She makes fun of herself and of me, and loves it when I return the favour.
She doesn't need romantic gestures to feel loved.

Well let me see! I am a guy 22 yo. Never been in a relationship so pardon me if some points are vague or just too much to ask for.
I want my partner to be passionate about something in life. It may be anything from rocket science to gardening.
I want her to be intellectual. Its really a turn off for me if I cant have a non-materialistic, sensible chat with her.
She should value hard work.
She should have the capability to solve problems logically and not emotionally.
She should be a great listener and be empathetic towards me when I need her. I will surely reciprocate.
She should love traveling and be open to meeting new people.
She should not be materialistic and should value the more simple things in life.
She should love to cook. I really would like it if my girlfriend were to cook specially for me. It'll make me love her even more...!
She should not be possessive and not be too clingy. She should be ready to give me space and I will reciprocate.
She should have a great sense of humor.
She should value the importance of money and not be a spendthrift.
She should be a vegetarian or at least respect vegetarians for their choice and not make fun of them. It would be an added bonus if she too is a vegetarian. I'll then be able to cook for her :P
Of course it goes without saying that she should be honest and faithful to me!
EDIT:I want to mention that sexual compatibility might also be an important point. Since I have never been in a physical relationship, I dont exactly know how important it could prove to be. So I haven't mentioned about it.

I've never been in love in my 21 years
But i think about it daily, and i have jut ONE requirement
Since I am a very calm collected person on the inside , and my life has been TOTALLY un-eventful ( i have been to family holidays just twice )
I would want someone whose life is so spontaneous , full of energy, events and activity that it turns my monotonous life upside down.
Spontaneity attracts me.
