When you reach a certain point in your dating life, you probably come across a girl who seems to fit your personality so well that your feelings develop beyond infatuation - dare I say, you might be falling in love? All kidding aside, once you’ve mastered the art of dating, you’ll inevitably attract some great women into your life. So how do you know when she’s the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with?
It’s not always easy to tell. That’s why this article will help explore your feelings, ask you to look inside, and try to find an answer that makes sense to you.
First, you have to consider your core beliefs. Do you believe that true love exists? If so, how do you recognize it? If you’re one of those hopeless romantics that believes in true love and that nothing can break this kind of love, the decision might be easier for you. After you’ve spend a good amount of time with your girlfriend, you start to realize that she’s become more than just a girlfriend - she’s become your best friend, and you can’t see your life without her. That’s when you start thinking about the M word (hint: marriage).
But it’s not always so easy. There are no telltale signs of true love. If there were, or if they were easy for people to recognize, divorces wouldn’t even exist. If you still have some doubts, it’s time to look a little deeper.
Next, you’ll want to examine your own life. Is it the right time to settle down? Are you hitting your thirties, feel that your partying days are behind you, and ready to start a family? If so, consider yourself fortunate that you’ve got the woman of your dreams in your life.
For some men, it’s not so easy. They still have the urge to go out with friends and party, even if they’re hitting their fourth decade on earth and feel like part of them wants to grow up.
For these men, one good way of determining whether or not “she’s the one” is to actually stop thinking about yourself. Think about her - would you rather spend your life trying to make her happy over yourself? Then you might have a keeper. Do you enjoy being simply with her, even in the mundane things like watching movies or depositing a check at the bank? Again: possible keeper.
Ultimately, it’s up to you to figure out if she’s the one. No one can do it for you. If you really think a woman might be the love of your life, it’s time to really consider where you want to take your relationship.
