Firstly, there are Relationships of Pleasure.
These are partners who are all about sex, drugs and rock and roll. You might share soul-less passionate sex and soul-less playful banter, but they're all about pleasures of the body or ego. They never soulnurture you with insight and growth, never bring you real-deal happiness. Hence, these partners are sould-mates (Prince Harmings), not soul mates (Prince Charmings).
Next up, there are Relationships of Utility.
A partner you spend time with in hopes of garnering greater wealth, status, fame, power, glory, or beauty by being in their presence. These partners also don't nurture your soul - only your ego. Again, these are sould-mates (Prince Harmings), not soul mates (Prince Charmings).
Finally there are Relationships of Shared Virtue.
These are partners who stimulate you, challenge you, inspire you, root for you to grow into your highest potential - who nurture your soul. A good example is Jack Nicholson's character in As Good As It Gets who says: "You make me want to be a better man." When you prioritize seeking a partner who supports your becoming your best self - instead of just crushing on someone's superficial sexy looks, charisma and wealthiness - you wind up with a soul mate /a Prince Charming/ a definite keeper!
With all this in mind, if you want to be happy in love, you must take the time to see past a guy's "superficial lures" (hottiness, funniness, smartness, success, status, power, fame, glory, wealthiness) - and look deep inside his "superinsidehimself" true core self.
Unfortunately, it's very easy to get hypnotized by "superficial lures". In particular, those fumes of chemistry can dizzy a gal into making stupid love choices. It's hugely important to remember: Yo! Hot steamy chemistry eventually fades - and what's always left beneath is a person's true soul.
