It's actually better if you're on mutual ground with your level of attraction to each other and what your expectations are in terms of your level of commitment to each other. However, I prefer when the other person is more into me than I am into them. It makes me feel more secure than if it were the other way around. Having said that, you should be with someone who lights up your day when you are together and whom you respect, care about, have fun with, and think is attractive.
