There are few things like a relationship that still has that new car smell. It’s fresh, exciting, and full of surprises. Then, time does it’s thing, and you find out what the real deal is, and get a growing sense of how much staying power you have with your new love interest.
If you’re wondering how much of a keeper she is, it pays to be aware of some tell-tale signs.
They just might tell you if she’s the one, or not:
1) Introductions – A desire to introduce her to…everyone…is a biggie. It’s also a good way to gauge if what you’re seeing and feeling is solid. Your friends and family won’t lie to you…hopefully.
2) Planning – Are you daydreaming about future plans that go beyond next weekend? That’s a strong sign.
3) Attraction – There’s a difference between attraction and infatuation. If you’re still hot for her after the honeymoon phase has passed that’s a positive.
4) Laughter – There’s nothing more important than being able to laugh together. It makes the good times great, and the bad times more bearable.
5) Talking – There’s talking, and then there’s saying something. As time goes on, you need to still be interested in what’s coming out of each other’s mouths.
6) Hanging Out – If you enjoy hanging out with her so much that even when you’re out with the guys it feels like your best friend’s missing.
7) Values – If you’re not on the same page morally, it’s going to be rough. You don’t have to agree on everything, but there should be compatibility on some level.
8) Future – Having similar goals can make getting to your destination more of a pleasurable adventure. If you feel like life’s taking you on different paths, you’ve got some work and decisions ahead of you.
