Gotta agree with the others. The specific mention of a female partner (e.g. player) implies OOC intentions, since if you were purely looking for friendship and someone to RP with, the gender identity of the other player shouldn't matter at all (and indeed regardless of said identity the player could play a character of either gender, too).
I'll propose a helpful idea, at least, though. Rather than fixating on someone who will theoretically commit a character and many, many hours of their free time to you without ever having gotten to know you even a little bit beforehand (that's a lot to ask of someone), why not join some RP Linkshells or join an RP Free Company.
Then, proceed with the MSQ ICly (ad-libbing the reasons and quest objectives a little bit, to bypass the whole "one true hero" BS that doesn't belong in an MMO story and yet for some reason is what MMO developers seem keen on giving people lately), and use it as the basis for getting other people into RP. You could use the Wiki to see, for example, "Okay, these next seven quests are going to take place in Eastern Thanalan", and then make an RP event out of it: "Hey guys, my character has gotten some leads on some work to be done in Eastern Thanalan. I'd like to say it takes place over two weeks of IC time, and during the process I'll be completing the following list of MSQ: A, B, C... If your character is at that same point, you're welcome to do your quest objectives at the same time, but even if you aren't, I welcome you to come and RP with me as I go through those quests ICly in a modified-story manner."
Then you just wait until at least one other player wants to come. Presto, you're never questing without at least one companion, and, you're also not requiring much commitment from anybody. You may have different people show up each time, for that matter. If someone ends up clicking with you and they happen to like RP with you, then they would probably show up on a recurring basis of their own accord and not because they were made to agree to a commitment in advance and feel pressured if they happen to do other things sometimes.
