Everyone dreams of finding the perfect mate. Sharing your time with someone who is right for you can enrich every aspect of your life. But when you are with someone who is wrong for you, just the opposite happens. Here are some tips for knowing if you have found the right mate.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Good powers of observation
  • An open mind
  1. Step 1

    The right mate is always on your side. He will always build your confidence rather than trying to break you down. During a disagreement, he is able to agree to disagree, without attacking you. When the world gets tough, he is there to comfort and defend you.

  2. Step 2

    The right mate brings you closeness and laughter. When you are together, you feel like you are with your best friend. Even the most routine chores are fun with her. There is a sense of camaraderie in everything you do, and it is easy to be silly together.

  3. Step 3

    The right mate makes you feel safe. When you have found the right partner in life, you will never feel like you are walking on eggshells around him. He doesn't intimidate, evade communication, tease harshly, or try to control you. When you are with the right mate, you will feel comfortable being yourself around him and talking about whatever is on your mind.

  4. Step 4

    The right mate accepts you for who you are and does not try to change you. She may not love all of your faults, but she accepts your whole unique package, warts and all. While she will be happy for you if you decide to get in shape, or eat healthier foods, she doesn't see you as some kind of improvement project. The right mate will never try to change your appearance, clothing, habits, or interests.

  5. Step 5

    The right mate allows you to grow and change. No person or relationship can remain stagnant over a lifetime. The right mate supports your growth and change as it happens. He isn't threatened when you decide to go back to school or change your career.

  6. Step 6

    When you are with the right mate, the romantic sparks fly. There is a strong physical attraction and you both enjoy and look forward to the time you spend alone together. She makes you feel sexy, desirable and full of life.

Tips & Warnings
  • To bring out the best in your partner, always treat him as you would want to be treated.
  • It is better to be alone than with someone who makes you unhappy or treats you badly. There is someone out there who is right for you. Believe in yourself and he will come along when the time is right.
