| As I was thinking about a conversation with a friend I realized my requirements for building a serious relationship.
First I need a year to just know the person, hang out and do things with no expectations. See if they are comfortable introducing me to their friends, of both genders, as well as, if I am comfortable with them meeting my friends. 1. Am I as comfortable in their house as I am mine? 2. Am I comfortable with them in my house? 3. Are they comfortable in my house as well as having me at their house? 4. Can they deal with my bad days and not hold it against me? 5. Can they handle my health issues? 6. Do they do their best to deal with their health issues? 7. Are they capable of discussing negative subjects? 8. Can they agree to disagree? 9. Can they do things without me and still share their feelings on those activities? 10. Are they ok with my having interest that they may not share? These are just a few things I would look for when I am looking for a relationship. Even if the person meets all of these things the big question would be �Are they interested in a relationship as well?� Now once all has been decided and we agree to explore a relationship then we can take the time to further explore just what we are looking for. Devote time to see if we really do match up and want to keep it. |
