I have to be in a serious relationship in order to consider it. Dating? No. That's just dating. The only things I won't change are my morals and values. Other than that, I've been asked to change a few things, and I have. Some, I'm still working on. No one is perfect. Everyone has flaws, but it just depends on what flaws you're able to accept. If you are to develop an intimate relationship, you have to know each others desires. If you wish to love each other, you need to know what the other person wants. The way we express those desires to one another is important. I don't have a problem with being asked to change, but if they come across as demands, then we both have erased the possibility of intimacy and that could drive one of us away. If, however, we make known our needs and desires as requests, then we're giving guidance, not ultimatums.
