Another major telltale sign of
real love is selflessness and
the ability to care. Does your
man make sacrifices for you?
Is he able to put your wants
and needs before his?
Relationships are all about
give and take, but love is
more about giving.

Being Able to Accept
Imperfection
Intellectually, we all know
that there are no perfect
people and, therefore, no
perfect relationships. But it
often takes maturity and
dating experience to actually
believe it.
Take a client of mine, who
broke up with a wonderful
woman simply because he
thought he could do better. A
year later, he met someone
else, who was also great but
far from perfect. After two
years of dating, he decided to
propose. If he had met her a
few years earlier, he would
have broken up with her too.
But now, he realizes that this
is as good as it gets, though it
took him several
relationships to finally
understand that.
Having unrealistic
expectations makes it
impossible for a man to
develop a close bond. If a
guy who isn't ready starts
getting too close to a woman,
he'll look for
imperfections,either
consciously or
subconsciously, to create
distance between them and,
ultimately, to give him a
reason to break up with her.

Even if a man tells you that
