(This is a random character I'm just making up for this. Don't take it too seriously cx)
Let me introduce the lonely lady who's looking for love today

This is Princess Tanwen. She is the youngest daughter of king of the Tomato Butt clan(like I said, don't take this seriously
). She wants badly to leave her clan, but knows her father will only allow that if she is married off. He does not want to force her into a marriage, as he already tried that and she managed to fend off every suitor he and her mother sent her way. Most of the them were rich pompous asses anyway, so... Do you think you're the lucky one to win over this young lady's heart? Go ahead and give it a shot.
So there are several ways you could go about placing your "ad." The first would be the straight forward way of making a list of what your character is looking for in a mate. Another would be posting something like that above if you're not that picky. The other way is to simply role play it till you find someone your character likes.
List example-
-Tanwen is not interested in nobles and royals.
-She wants to live an exciting life and would prefer to marry a rogue, or a warrior at least, as that would please her parents more.
-She does not want to be married to anyone from her clan or one of the neighboring ones. Wandering suitors or ones from afar are the only ones she will consider.
-She wants someone who will not see her as a prize to be won. She wants someone who sees her as herself and who can love her for it.
-She hates traditionalists, but would not be against marring a traditionalist male. She is certain that she may be able to change his way a bit.
-She does not care about religion. She is accepting to all, even Forsaken. She actually admire them.
RP example-
A red lioness sat beneath a tree near the border of the Tomato Butt territory. She was being closely watched by two of the clan's guards as if she was someone important. She was in fact someone very important. Princess Tanwen wondered slightly if her father would ever let her be alone for once. The king was far too protective of his youngest daughter. She hated it.
Part of Tanwen wanted to run away, but then part of her could not. She loved and respected her parents too much to do that to them. She knew they wanted what was best for her, and yet still she questioned if they really knew what that was, or even if she did. She wanted to leave the drama and chaos of her father's court behind. She wanted to see the world, to live with the excitement of not knowing when the next breath would be her last. Most of all, she wanted to love someone who didn't see her as a piece of property, that wasn't going to use her as simply a cub baring object that would give him an heir. Tanwen also didn't want to be treated like the fragile princess her parents tried to raise her as.
And so there the princess waited at the border. She was waiting for the next in a long line of suitors to come. She wondered how many had already made attempts to charm her, how many were exactly what she didn't want, and how many more would she have to wait there for till the right one came along.
As for potential mates/spouses, go about it in a similar matter that the one looking for a mate did. If they post out of character, then also post out of character. If they post in character and role play it, then do likewise. Keep it consistent for convince to all of us.
Be mindful of the different cultures and sub species. Snow Lions will not cross with other lions except in rare occasions. A royal or noble Snow Lion will absolutely not marry anyone other than another Snow Lion, and usually only other nobles or high ranking lions. Also be aware of geography. If your character is on the other side of the continent, I highly doubt they'd ever cross paths.
Another thing to keep in mind is someone who is of the Forsaken Religion would not marry a Traditionalist. Forsaken are rebels and deviants. They could never stand being married to someone who values the rules and traditions like Traditionalists do. They do not mix. End of story.
