Adult Situations

1. What are your deal breakers?
This is where you need to sit down and decide what YOU want from life and a partner. Think about important things like whether or not you want to have children and if it is something you are willing to give up to be with your
partner if he doesn’t. What things do you absolutely need from a relationship, physically, emotionally and mentally? Decide what you cannot live without.

2. Is he emotionally available?
If he is joking about how is isn’t a ‘relationship guy’ or that marriage is
just a piece of paper, that is your cue to leave. He needs to be able to tell
you exactly how he feels about you, the relationship and where it is going. If
he cannot seriously talk about it then he is not ready for the commitment. Find out his priorities and where he sees himself in five years. A man with a plan is ready for a commitment.

3. Does he have his act together?
Take a look at his life and daily activities. Does he have a decent job? Can he
hold it down? Does he plan for his future? Does he go out on the town every night partying? You need to distinguish if he has his life balanced and prioritized.

4. Does he put you first?
This doesn’t mean it is all about you but there are some situations where you can tell he genuinely wants the best for you and enjoys making you happy. It can be as simple as giving you the last chocolate, being your biggest cheerleader, making time to get to know and hang with your friends or remembering little important dates.

5. Does he love being with you?
You should both love just hanging out with each other. A relationship is a
lifetime partnership so it is a given that you should both prefer to spent time
with one another rather than others. If he always makes plans with his friends over spending time with you, something is not right.

6. Does he have a good relationship with his family? I have never known a saying to be more true than ‘watch how he treats his mother, that is how he will treat you.” Respect is a must!
