Things to consider when looking for a man worth keeping
Great men are difficult to find, but they do exist. And, ladies, never, ever settle.
You can date and have fun all you want, but once you enter the serious relationship category, make sure the man meets your expectations. He shouldn’t just be decent; he should make you feel as if you’ve been struck by lightning in the best possible way.
You are deserving of someone who improves your life, who makes you feel loved, supported, and cared for. Don’t even think about settling for good enough. And here are a couple of things you should consider when looking for a man worth keeping.
1. Man who Respects You
Yes, we are going to prioritize respect. Because love and respect are not the same thing, and no matter what sitcoms tell you, being loved isn’t everything. Respect is essential. You want someone who admires you and respects your ideas, opinions, and decisions.
2. He Loves You Wholeheartedly
Respect is followed by love; after all, this is why you’re in a romantic relationship with this person. But make sure it’s love and not just lust or attraction (those are important too, but for a serious relationship you need love).
3. He Values You
Some men regard having a girlfriend or partner as merely a checkmark on a list of things to have. Don’t be satisfied with that. You want someone who regards you as their top priority.
4. He Has the Ability to Make You Laugh
A sense of humor is essential in any relationship. You don’t want to be bored for years.
But his ability to make you laugh even in the darkest of times is even more important. When the chips are down, if he can make you smile or laugh and see the light at the end of the tunnel, that’s something to hold on to.
5. He’s Always There for You
We can be pretty hard on ourselves, so having someone who believes in you and supports you no matter what is essential. If your guy is always pointing out your flaws and mistakes when you make a mistake, run away from him.
If, on the other hand, when you make a mistake, he encourages you to try again and says he’ll always be there to support you, that’s a keeper.
6. Trusts You
These days, trust issues are common, but if your man doesn’t trust you, he’s not ready for a relationship and doesn’t deserve you. You want a man who believes in you and does not question your decisions.
The goal of a man who doesn’t doubt you is that he doesn’t make you prove anything and doesn’t give you reasons to doubt him.
7. He’s Good at Making Compromises
Compromises are necessary, but only in minor matters. We’re discussing dinner plans, movie choices, and so on.
You want a man who shares your general worldview on most issues, but who is also willing to compromise and watch Bridget Jones instead of a football game every now and then.
8. Adores You
A man who appreciates your eccentricities is worth keeping. You want someone who admires your odd habits and finds them endearing. A man who adores you for everything, from your impeccable style to the way your nose crinkles when you laugh.
9. He Attempts To Connect With Your Friends And Family
We’ve been talking a lot about how a man should treat you, but he should also treat your friends and family well. After all, those are the people you care about the most, and the fact that he’s actively trying to get on their good side is a good sign.
