I think for me personally I would be looking for someone in a similar stage of life. Not casual but not serious either, someone that isn't running around dating everyone, but also isn't trying to move in with me and my kiddos. Someone that understands bagage and responsibilities and isn't afraid of either and preferably has both. Someone that also needs to learn to trust again like myself.
Isn't the desire to fullfiill someone else's needs as well as your own kind of the whole idea? If you can mesh the schedules of separate lives when you are single it can be done post marriage with another in a similar situation.
In the future I may need to have another full time partner, but not right out of the gates.
