Do you know what he or she is really like? Are they willing to talk about common interests, as well as personal stuff like faith, values, and goals for your life?
How do they react under pressure? That’s when our real selves begin to show.
Do they have a good reputation? Talk to people who know him or her. Everybody has a reputation. There’s an old saying that goes, "The street seldom lies." Usually a person’s reputation is pretty close to accurate. Involve trusted friends.
Are you on the same page spiritually? There are no deeper thoughts or values than those that come from our spiritual being. What we believe spiritually determines our values and how we look at the world. Without agreeing on spiritual beliefs, most relationships will crumble.
Do they treat you with tremendous respect? Lack of respect will destroy a relationship faster than just about anything else. You’ve worked on your self-worth and know you are valuable. Don’t settle for anyone who treats you as anything less. They should respect you, your body, your limits, and your beliefs.
